PBL Ship Sinking fast, Teams Want Back in ABA

[ABA06er]

Recieved a report that the former ABA teams minus Rochester and Maryland are already looking to get back into the ABA.

Why on earth would they want to do that ????


1. They realized the PBL is not putting out any press releases

2. They noticed
Arkansas - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life

Arizona - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life


California - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life


District of Columbia - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life


North Carolina - Former ABA team who has its act together and didnt burn bridges with Joe Newman or the ABA just for this reason

Maryland - PBL run into the ground , gasping for air

Connecticut - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life


Minnesota - Former ABA team who did not burn Bridges with Joe Newman or ABA just for this reason ( Still no updated website , not even a listing that they are in the PBL or a PBL logo on the site, now we know why)

New York - Former ABA team (Rochester Razorsharks) gasping for air

Oklahoma - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life


Pennsylvania - Former ABA team who was very , very careful not to burn bridges with Joe Newman or the ABA and is still close friends with Joe Newman , just for this reason

Texas - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life


Canada - No Team Announcement , No Website , No venue , No City to play in, No sign of life

put out some proof. or stop being a liar like you are ok???

[heavesrock]

It would appear that neither side has any proof and everyone is going off the wall trying to make each other look bad in their own childish way.


That said, why on earth did I become a fan of this mess and not just stick to baseball?

[TheStandard]

yes minor league basketball has been fully destroyed for ever due to the ABA

Recieved a report that the former ABA teams minus Rochester and Maryland are already looking to get back into the ABA.

What might make more sense ...

Is that you heard, the ABA is trying to pursuade former teams (behind the scenes) to come back to the ABA.

[Paul S]

I don't know, when Minnesota left the message they had was "we are done with Joe's league"

Also Joe, in a fit of creative writing, dreamed up another "Ask the CEO" line of BS and answered his own fictious question saying a number of teams would not be allowed back in.

I think this is a good example of someone coming on here and deciding to fight fire with more fire. In other words, if BS is on here, then the only way to counter it is with BS of your own.

Hey Joe, it would beggar belief, no stagger common sense, no thats not it, it would simply be unbelievably insane if some team paid you the 10k, had about 45 percent no-shows and then bolted to another league, paid the entrance fee, then see the other teams have no website and come charging back to the phone to call 1 800 JOE JOKE and beg for consideration into coming back into the fold.

BTW - if all you need is the market res. how can they forfeit it by simply indicating interest in another league. So much for competition and the McDonalds vs Burger King analagy.
