well lets hope that there's a team that can beat them because the NBL has created a monster which is just going to bore the league and supporters - they will then have to create another monster to tackle them (Brisbane this year) which again will then just manifest and so on and so on...

Nah, move them to Canberra. Maybe someone will go watch them there. They sure don't go and watch them in Sydney!

Simple way to stop the juggernaut-- have a "serious" look at their salary cap and penalise the bastards like they have done to Adelaide.
I thought that the reason BA wanted Sydney to be successful was to create a following in NSW which would lead to FTA games on TV.
Instead we have a team of egos, still no TV and their coach talking shit whenever he opens his trap

CJ and Smith would obviously be primo points/money earners.

Rolan, while on this team is a role player, also would command good money and as in import 10 points.

From there, 2 more role players in Knight and Sheridan.

After that, a bunch of kids.

Over the cap? What a joke.

Not only that, but salaries are capped for the first two years for rookies, so Worthington, Crosswhite and Kendall would all be cheap.

There are teams over the cap, but I don't know if Sydney are one of them.

Sydney may be legit now, but highly questionable the last few years - the juggernaut has already been created ... yet did nothing for the league. They have lack of supporter base and now are looking to go to Canberra? I think that will actually work as lot of people in Canberra would go to a game to relieve the boredom. But doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a Sydney team whose role was to pump up the league in Sydney?
Maybe playing as the Sydney/Canberra Kings legitimises two salary caps where the players surely will fit under.

If the Kings would come to Canberra they would do pretty well crowd-wise. It just unfortunate it's the Kings.

Canberra is starved for decent ball games, the best we have at the moment is the AIS and Gunners and the Caps. Having Beard here was awesome.

It seems highly unlikely that the Kings are over the cap. I hadn't seen the Kings play this season, before I went to Saturday night's game and I was stunned with how well they played and the performances Goorjian got from the rookies and journeymen. The Kings' game (on Saturday) reminded me of the 1985 and 1986 Sixers teams, with multiple outside threats, guards who can penetrate athen pass or finish and strong inside players who can create and rebound, with depth in all positions off the bench.

Much as I've always disliked Goorjian's behaviour and apparent arrogance, the Kings' results this season has me convinced me that he can coach a group into being a star team, as opposed to relying on a team of stars, as I felt he did in the past.

By the way, the fact that the Kings already have qualified for the finals (they have the split 3-0 over Townsville) - with more than a third of the season left - says some things about the final eight system and the gulf between the top four and bottom four (which wasn't as big last season). I haven't checked the numbers, but Adelaide and Melbourne probably will have qualified after the next three weeks, as well.
