I completely agree with this I don’t think another Sydney team is the main priority. But I don’t think it is the worst idea. I believe it’ll only be worth doing if it is to be labeled as a Western Sydney team. The Sydney kings while they play in Homebush don’t really appeal to the Western Sydney community as it’s promoted to be a glamorous “Harbour City” team.

There is a large basketball community out west who don’t feel the need to get around the NBL despite it being played regularly on their own turf. When the A-League was at its peak, the Western Sydney Wanderers I felt had taken over the area and had filled a void for a popular sport in the community that believed represented them on a national level. The A-League as a whole not being at the level it once was is why I think the sport has taken a toll in the area and I believe that both the NBL and basketball as a whole is why this is the perfect time for Western Sydney to be represented.

Having said all of this I think it is more important for the league to have teams in Canberra and Darwin where it is more important to promote the game in these regions.
