I had this discussion with friends after the Blaze game and there are likely 3 teams at most that are breaking even at the moment. Unfortunately you don't buy an NBL team to make money. If you do, you're a fool. I think your conspiracy theory is a little off on this occasion ... its just another team hitting the wall financially in a time of economic slowdown. Don't forget the Tigers almost did a few years back and the Hawks were almost gone half-way through last season. Fingers crossed teams survive and the league regeneration works next season.
