Franchise players in the NBL

That discriminates against clubs that can afford to pay for a good franchise player and those that can't. I thought the whole idea of the salary cap was to put every club on an even playing field. By having a franchise player, a club has individual control over what the salary cap should be because there is no difference between a salary cap of $1m and a salary cap of $750K plus a $250K franchise player. Besides that, Adelaide would not benefit from this because they barely have the money to keep under the salary cap.

I can see sponsors such as Nike sponsor a franchise player, thus paying that extra money to have him play for a team. In return this player would be promoting their products. The only problem would be that it would be Sydney to benefit from it as the sponsor would have a lot more exposure from this. Sorry Isaac, I see too much discrimination and disadvantage to lower budget clubs.
