"The last thing we want to do is take talent away from the CBA because they need to strive to continue to build their league as well. But I think there will be opportunities where CBA clubs will see the benefit of some of their players coming and participating in the NBL for a season or two," Loeliger said.

"I'd love to see that expand so that there are other clubs who are exchanging or loaning players to one another, to help round out their games."

While the player exchanges have the potential to help both sides due to the different styles of play, the leagues themselves are also very different in how they are structured. While the NBL is privately owned and geared towards a corporate structure, the prime objective of the CBA is to develop talent for the wildly popular Chinese national team, a fact that Loeliger acknowledged.

"In the CBA it's been very much about ensuring that the national team uses the league to give the most court time to its best players who are going to go on and represent the country," Loeliger said.

"It's a little bit different in Australia, because of the fact that a number of our national players do play in overseas leagues."

Despite the different purview, the CBA is really hitting its stride and beginning to "open its doors", according to Loeliger, who said this process currently being undertaken by leadership will serve to further liberalise, and commercialise the game in China.
