A Brisbane consortium says its bid is the only one that should be considered when the National Basketball League assesses applicants for a franchise in the city.

The Brisbane Spartans group says it is ready to enter the NBL next season, which would make them the first Brisbane team in the NBL since the Bullets folded in 2008.

The group is so confident of admission that it has already approached four-time Olympian Shane Heal to coach the team.

"I think Shane is a really good choice to have in basketball and to bring to Brisbane," Spartans chairman Jarrod Sierocki said.

"Obviosuly he's been very successful in Brisbane before, I think its very, very imperative that we get someone of the calibre of Shane Heal, being an ex-NBA star and Olympian."

Sierocki acknowledged previous attempts to bring the NBL back to Brisbane had failed, but said his group planned to build a 6,500-seat stadium in suburban Carina.

"We've looked at consortiums of 20. We've looked all these different ways to bring back a team but no one is looking at the essential and the essentials are we need a viable structure and viable place to play," Sierocki said.

"Without that structure it is just destined to fail."
