CBA or ABA
Fri, 23 Jul 2010 Time: 5:00 PM. 1 views.
Cleveland area Fans the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) has accepted the Rockers into their league. The CBA is the oldest Professional Basketball league in the world which is scheduled to re-launch the league under new ownership in 2011-12 season with 8-12 new and existing teams. However, the Rockers must make the decision to leave the ABA, build a strong ownership group with a 3 year capitalzation plan and to secure a Venue outside of the city of Cleveland.
The Rockers have played three seasons in the ABA their most sucessful season was in 2008-2009 when they won the Northeast Divisional Title with a 22-4 record.
The CBA is a big jump for the Rockers and local players. The players know the money is better overseas, but CBA salaries are much higher than those in the ABA, and the CBA provides an opportunity to be called up for a 10-day contracts in the NBA during the season.
So we are asking our fans, ABA or the CBA? Leave your comments below.
A google search shows nothing about the acquisition of the CBA other then the
Rockers site, and Wikipedia.
Anyone hearing anything out there or is this just a ploy to turn a dream into
a reality?
...a few notes
the Rockers must make the decision to leave the ABA
Maybe not there's to make...ABAlive doesn't list them as a team anymore.
The Rockers have played three seasons in the ABA
All of which were partial seasons.
and the CBA provides an opportunity to be called up for a 10-day contracts in the NBA during the season.
Partially True. The CBA provided an opportunity for a 10-day contract,
but in this day and age...So do the ABA, PBL, D-League, or your local Y. At
one time, the 10-day contract was somewhat unique between the CBA and
NBA.
