One of the ways in which both leagues are actioning this "mutually beneficial" process, according to Loeliger, is through player movement between the two leagues, which not only allows for them to test their mettle in a different style of play - but also allows for more of a cultural dialogue to be opened between the players, coaches, and fans as well.

"It is a win-win situation because the CBA is always striving to improve the quality of its players, and we are encouraging them to do that by playing some of them here in Australia when it suits them, to get some of their players out here and play a different style of basketball," Loeliger said.

"They are two very different styles of games, and I think it's very entertaining to see them go head to head."

This process began during the course of the last season in the NBL, with the move of two players from the hugely successful Shanghai Sharks franchise, to the Brisbane Bullets which allowed youngsters Wang Tong and Yan Peng.

At the time, current Bullets and Australian national team coach Andrej Lemanis said that this move would hopefully be one which is built upon in the future between the two leagues.

"Hopefully they can learn from our players, our league and our coaches and return to their league as better players and enhance Chinese basketball," Lemanis said.

Loeliger contends that this process will indeed continue, and said that this initial method of encouraging player movement through the free agent process has the potential to expand as the burgeoning partnership between the two leagues continues to develop.
