Its not like Sydney are in the running for a title anyway 
The competition is going to be good next year, United, 36ers, Cat's, NZ will all be up there again...Kings have a starting 4/5 of Lisch, Randle, Bogut and Newly, Bullets have built a solid foundation of local talent. Hawks and Taipans are basically screwed losing some of their best players. Hawks have lost Kay, and Norton to Perth. Taipans have lost Gliddon (Bullets), Mccarron (Europe) and now Weeks (NZ).
