I saw that, and now the magic have lost 2 games. The only way to stop the migration of players is to raise the salary cap significantly, in my opinion. That is pretty hard to do with attendance numbers where they are in the league.
They need some big name partners to come onboard with the league. Whether that is canada basketball, and they use it as a training league for Canadian talent, or a major sponsor like Nike, or Adidas, or something like that to increase league revenues.
Also, if they could develop a guy to get to the G-League, that would help alot in terms of player development and agents pushing players.
Player movement is 90% agent induced. Players just want to play. Agents want to get paid and they get a % of a player's salary.
It isn't hard to see the logic that is happening. The NBL Canada needs to change if they want to be more that a pass-through league for top talent.
