New NBL team: Dragons
Movement at the station...
Looks like a hint at team colours and so on.
Perhaps "Dragons"?

Yeah id pick Dragons... after the NBA/NBL team name debacle a few years back... cant see them trying to use raptors.

I searched through IP Australia for trademarks, through the National Names Index on the ASIC site, through registered business names in Victoria, and also downloaded the Flash animation and ran it through SWF Extractor looking for hints. And someone else checked a domain name. Obvious solution 1, Isaac 0.

I see there is a Camberwell Dragons already in Victoria, I wonder if there will be issues over that. I would assume a second NBL team in adelaide coudn't call themselves lions, sabres, mavericks etc. unless directly supported by those clubs.

The first rumour was Barlow from the Kings. That's one possibility.
Ah the Drag Queens, that will be fun to say for the next 3 years before the team is bankrupt and out of the league!
I hope this isnt the case, but im a realest

Perhaps its a dragon lizard ?
Prob would like it better.
Think the NBL also wanted names to be more Australian related.
