Just a question on who other people would support if infact Adelaide doesnt have a team this year?
I would most likely follow South as they have a bit of Adelaide talent and play an interesting style of basketball.

Nobody.
I lost the Bullets and struggling with the thought of losing the Sixers..... two clubs over 21 years is enough for me- I will walk away, but deal with that if and when it is confirmed.

My interest in the NBL would be minimal without the Sixers. The NBL gets 50% of my sport attention, the NBA gets the other 50%. I'd think without the Sixers it would be more like 85% NBA and 15% NBL. I'd have a vague interest but I just simply wouldn't care.

NBL without the sixers would be placed in my "couldn't give a ***k" file...

I will utterly and completely lose interest in the NBL if there is no Adelaide team. It's frankly not good enough to watch or follow religiously without a religious reason (such as home-town parochialism, your brother plays for the Breakers, etc. :) ) to do so.
If there was regular coverage on FTA TV, I suppose I'd still watch a bit, but without that the league would be dead to me.

I'd likely follow favourite players rather than clubs. Guys like Penney, Loughton, Ingles, Ere and any Sixers guys that find another home.

The team that appears to put the most effort into developing and providing opportunities for young Australian players.

I would probably stop getting pay tv which I got mainly for bball, NBA, NBL & College, now that one has NBA & College.
NBL would become an after thought, I might check scores in the paper or on the net every now and then...
....if Adelaide doesn't have a team.

No Sixers seriously no real NBL with no Bullets or Syd. either. and no interest from me. And I love my NBL and only have minor interest in NBA.
Mals playing games if he cant afford to pay 1 mill surety then you should no own a team and also you are not going to let it go and get nothing .
Mal stop playing games and wherever you went on holidays stay there let Eddie sell it all for what he can get.
You Sixer fans that say you would support a Goorg team were not real Sixer supporters
he should make the figures known and put it to auction. no games, just see who really wants it.

No one, but I would like I'd keep an interest in the league - far too many memories to just forget about it completely.

If there is no Adelaide team, then I have lack of interest in the new dud aussie league.

You guys need the 36ers to be there as Crows & Power are both bottom 4 propositions this year!
LLeyton is finished!
In fact i not only feel if they get the nod they will do quite well. Ninnis will be 1 year older & wiser & Schensher is the best 5 in it. Bruce needs to step up but i would pick them top 4!
The new nbl will make it work - i hope.
South Australians having nothing to cheer about is a daunting prospect & not good in any language.
Have faith....
no sixers then i wont even follow it..ill stick to AFL, MLB and NBA.
how can one of the worlds must widely played sports end up with absolutely bugger all interest in Australia.
its quite sad really, our league :(
