As I said in our Federation making the run to the ABBL requires a very serious bankroll. When you look this seasons four promotees Chumunga, CROCKERS, Guanzheng Goldfish and me as well as Northcote Slammers who came very close you notice something in common. Chumunga, CROCKERS and Northcote Slammers had multiple seasons of tanking to save up the money to make it to the ABBL. I had one season of tanking in the ABBL itself. Only the Guanzheng Goldfish have been competitive for the last several seasons but they still did it with a cut price team that had pathetic big men but strong guards thus having much lower salaries than most of us stuck paying big men a fortune so we can constantly play LI.
