Although a bit rich of Bogut to act like the Kings are poor cousins when they bought the best player from United in the past off season

Bogut is right though, United spend up big every season, the only player they missed was Kay, Gleeson new how good he'd be.

Bit rich from Bogut considering Sydney's roster, but also like the way he goes bang with the whack on Larry/UTD lol

At the end of the day he's just spicing up what should be a good series.

Moller wasn't unhappy in Melbourne, he’s mate with vickerman, he just new that Melbourne always bring in big money players so his game time would be limited, his first season there he got more time due to Prather being injured 2/3 season.
Casper was totally pissed off due the money situation and Melbourne telling porkies, Sydney came in with a good offer after Melbourne low balled him and left.
Melbourne always wanted Trimble and Long and paid big money for both and got there men. McCarron is another who went there for huge money for a player of his standard.
Bogut is throwing in some spice, it’s great but he’s right, Melbourne pay roll is massive.

Great call zodiac

Meanwhile Kings spend $3 million on salaries

Can you put down names and figures to the kings players to prove this or is more total bull shit.

Is he wrong though?

What he said is true and it's exactly why many people dislike United.

As long as any team is owned by the league (even partially), there’s a massive conflict of interest.

What we know:

Bogut 1,000,000
Ware 800,000
Cooks 372,000
Bottom 5: 514,000

Then you have Lisch, Newely, Kickert and co...

What we know as in figures you plucked out of thin air or have you got proof of those figures????? No point just talking shit bruh!

"Meanwhile Kings spend $3 million on salaries"

Joey previously said $4 mill?

'What we know' is that United are owned by the league owner and everything has been stacked in their favour since they came back into the league. That’s the issue here. It’s not about what the Kings are paying their players.

As reported by Boti, WWOS and ABC. Pretty common knowledge

lol reported by Boti , dude cmon

This is like two snot nose private school kids having a pillow fight before the big debate

Sydney using iPads to draw up plays in the timeouts, I'd say they're the rich kids!

^ no team should be owned by the league.

If no team was owned by the league, it would be boring watching shit teams with no money to spend on players. LK puts his money or brings in mates with money where it's required. Melbourne, Sydney, SEM , Illawarra are all in the league because of LK money or his mates. This suits Perth supporters because they like to win titles easy and don’t have to fight for them.

LK is doing what he has to do to grow the league. If that means league ownership of clubs in the short term to help them, then so be it. He sold down his share in United and sold off his share in Brisbane so it can be done.

Yes but this is not the nba or USA. They have 350 million people and it's the second biggest sport in the country after the nfl. This is Australia with a lot less people and money. The nbl has never been better,

People will say it is a potential conflict of interest, but conflicts of interest are a risk in a lot of businesses - it is about how you manage it.

I would say there haven't been any clear examples of this coming to the fore. If anything, the team that gets unfair advantages are the Kings, with their Didi Louzada special dispensation signing under the Next Stars program.
