on cheap pay, why not. But not at the expence of our main targets. Go after the big guns then hill, and then look at him maybe.

Barney G, who wrote this email? Does it have any credibility? The manner in which KB left Adelaide suggests he isn't likely to be welcomed back with open arms. Definitely interesting news.

cool kb is an all time fav of mine, i'd love to see him in adelaide again!!
even tho 2 play 4 us he'd need 2 b naturalised, cheap n willing to come off the bench, but who knows i'd luv 2 see the team suggested happen as on paper that looks awesome!!!

If Mee and Brooks come back how do they fit into the points system???

Would this put us over the limit???

People, you're forgetting how KB left the organisation. This isn't like re-signing Brian Devincenzi, Orlando Phillips or Tom Schaefer - KB burnt us at the stake. Heck, my basketball fees went up $1 a game because of what he did to Adelaide!

Ignoring that, we would be very fortunate that Holmes, Forman, Hill, Ng, etc are all capped at 5 while they're with the 36ERS. Maher also, though Mee would more or less be coming in to replace him.

I have heard nothing about a KB rumour to suggest that it's likely, but I have heard things about the Mee rumour.

For a bit of fun, if the line-up was this:

Mee (10)/Hill (5 max)
Farley (10)/Ng (5 max)
KB (9)/Holmes (5)
Rychart (10)/Forman (5)
Cooper (6)/Rees (4)

That's 69 points, only 3 over the cap. You could have Maher in there instead of Ng without raising the points total which is pretty incredible. More likely:

Mee (10)/Hill (5 max)
Farley (10)/Ng (5 max)
Holmes (5)/Forman (5)
Rychart (10)/Thompson (1-3?)
Cooper (6)/Rees? (4)

63 max.

Assuming the core future group of Holmes, Forman and Hill stayed together, that will be very valuable to the team. The first two would be rated 6-8 now and Hill could we be the same in a year or two. Under the existing system, they'd max out at 15 as a group, instead of up to 25.

Anonymous (#21288),you may be onto something there. Rumour is KB may soon be seen in an assistant coaching role at ABL level.

I heard that KB will live Adelaide for good. He will helping Norwood out but at this stage will not be playing as his back is stuffed. He is already here.It is not a rumour it is fact.

Dont you thing Holmes would be rated higher than a 6? Id say 7-8 his boards and all out hustle are amazing assets

I said 6-8 for those two. Forman was a 6 I think, and Holmes maybe an 8? Either way, it's a good advantage having them capped at 5.

is maher definetly going overseas?

From what he's said publically, he's definitely looking for an opportunity. Unfortunately he may not know until quite late in the off-season.

There were rumours of Rogers playing for the Sixers this season right up until the last couple of weeks I think, so I guess that the European contracts unfortunately come through a little late.

unless he made a public apology i wouldn't have him back 4 what he was trying to do

Brooks has shown in his last year with Adelaide and his only year with Hunter that he does not have the required attitude anymore. It's too much of a risk. Unless something has changed, I wouldn't even take him if he came for free. Our best years have been the ones where the chemistry has been right.

Doctor, He is not wanting to play. He has a bad back and is just looking to coach and work with Norwood.

Good to have him back here anyway. He did great things for the 36ers in his first few years.
