Brisbane Bullets back in the NBL?

Could we see the Brisbane Bullets back in the NBL as early as next season?? I think its a little premature to be using the word "assured" but the article below from The Australian would lead us to believe its possible. Click on the title below for the full story.

Back to the future with new Brisbane Bullets | The Australian

The time frame is tight, but Brisbane seems assured of winning back a place in a new-look league next season.

Basketball Australia interim chief executive Scott Derwin said yesterday talks with the state body and new backers were well advanced.

But talk of a rebirth of the Sydney Kings appears to have stalled as no one is willing to come forward with the required $1million seed money.

Derwin said the move to re-establish a beachhead in Brisbane was gathering momentum, less than six months after the Bullets, a foundation club of the old NBL, folded in the wake of owner Eddy Groves's financial collapse.

'Basketball Queensland has been pretty active in leading the discussion with a number of interested parties,' Derwin said.

'While the time frame is tight, a little under 12 months from the relaunch of the league, it doesn't allow a new team a lot of time, but the push is on.'

Ahhh ... these were the days ...
