Anybody know anything about this league? I get some updates on facebook about it but it doesnt really say much. Anyone know guys who are gonna be playing?
National Basketball League of Canada

probably be mostly CIS guys, i'm assumin some Div 1 players but no real stars, i mean it's a canadian league, these players will probably be getting paid a 2Gs a week max.

Ya I just read somewhere teams have a $150,000 salary cap. I'm still interested to see how it works out.

Yeah, at least we have something?
But there isn't a team close to the GTA,
so I guess I'll try to watch the telecasts.
Not like there's anything else to watch.......*cough* Stupid NBA *cough*

Haha I hear that. Really hope it works out/expands and the salary cap gets way bigger because 150k is stupid low... Not gonna attract much talent when you pay them something like $12000 a season. Im also not located by any teams so I'll have to catch some games online.
Side note: GTA? All I can come up with is Grand Theft Auto lol

soyerwill, you've never been to toronto i'm guessing.

^Lol. It's all good; that's my fault for assuming.
It means Greater Toronto Area.

i know there's one team from Oshawa. i hope this would be a good start in making a basketball league in Canada, like the CFL in football
