Interesting, thanks for sharing. So that gives each team like $30K/month? Gives about $2,500/player per month. Anything else you could share?

all i gotta say is CARRRRR... good get for NBLC... raptors should leverage NBLC as entire d-league for the team or have some relationship with the league as any basketball fan in canada is pretty much a raptors fan first and foremost. :lol:

Hey guys, my uncle is working with the Mississauga Power so if anyone wants to check out a game I can get a deal on tickets. I'm not sure how much they are regular, but I think they're cheap anyways. So, yeah, if anyone wants to check them out I can get you in for dirt cheap (maybe even courtside...no promises though lol).

DrCoach - Any talks of a team popping up next year east of Toronto? Just moved to Durham region and thought Oshawa had a team but I'm a couple years behind.
