Noticed some advertising around this, and Bogut is now a columnist there. Is this just an umbrella website operated by the NBL for all things Australian basketball? Or someone else behind it?

There's been a sudden and dramatic amount of promotion for it by the NBL in the last week

I think this is take #2 attempt of being like cricket.com.au which A League then followed as did Netball recently.

Isaac has mentioned how in the past either LK/NBL or BA (maybe both) enquired about purchasing Hoops.

I hope that never happens, PW. We're flooded with too much sanitised spin from those bodies already.
Thank God we can share our opinions openly but respectfully (well, mostly), even when we disagree.

It is attempt #2 by the NBL. Last time was a vanilla effort. This time throwing big money at it.

Hopefully that's referring to Hoops.
Take the 2 mil, Isaac! I'll miss the place but you deserve it.

Cant think of anything less compelling than reading what Bogut has to say

Will be interesting to see how Bogut as columnist goes.
It will either be watered down spin or crash and burn once he starts mouthing off about NBL/clubs/refs.
Was really scepitcal in the early days about cricket.com.au but i've come to enjoy it when following that sport. They do some good stuff and have some proper journalists producing content that's not just spin, but it needs to be read in conjunction with other media if you want any critique of the administration etc
Not sure it will translate so well to a basketball model but will be interesting to watch .... not sure it's got a unique selling point though. Like, is this going to house the live streams of games and provide a proper scoring stats service? Wait and see i guess
