The NBL released a statement yesterday regarding the dire financial problems of the Sydney based Spirit. At this stage they claim it’s too early to decide on the future of the team, but say the Spirit may not be able to continue for the remainder of the season.
This is another example as to why the NBL has called for a complete overhaul, including stringent financial guidelines for future franchises.
Hopefully a way can be found to keep the Spirit viable this season. If the new NBL is to prosper I feel they need a team in Sydney.
Maybe this could be an opportunity to reintroduce the beloved Kings or perhaps even relocate another troubled franchise for next season.
