 | | Soon after the signing, the ABL and NBA held discussions about a merger of the two leagues, but in July the NBA announced that Cleveland would be joining the league as an expansion franchise at a cost of $400,000 (including a $100,000 indemnity to Cincinnati who held the NBA rights to Lucas). |
