Attention: anonymous, i want my steak!

I am referring specifically to the thread 'Sydney Kings sign Trey Gilder'. anonymous (that was the persons selected name as the writing was not faint) you posted the following statement

"Mr Gilder and I have a friend in common so I'll get in early on this one.........don't be surprised if he doesn't stay long folks. I'll buy you all a steak dinner if he plays more than 4 games."

i then made a comment about how i like my steak thinking it was a joke to which you replied:

"Gday Paul and SRT. As far as I am told he was looking to play in Europe exclusively and was "sold" the idea of coming to Sydney as a short term solution until a suitable Europe based offer came through.
Like most guys, he wants a second shot at the NBA and apparently thinks Europe was the best showcase/paycheck versus D-league. I think I came across a little cynical without meaning to, I am definately all for him staying in Sydney. I just don't think it will happen. As for the steak dinners, my offer stands."


so my question is when and where as last night was game 5? i quite like gauchos on gouger st. my personal preference is a porterhouse cut cooked medium rare. sounds like everyone on hoops is invited so place your orders

I once paid a $40 to another poster -met him at dome during ABA final and paid him cash in lieu of the pale ale carton I bet him.

Pay up anon!!!

Fine anon did lose bet but the irony is Gilder wont play too many more and anon was right in maybe suggesting was a dud or had wrong attitude

My guess is european teams have been watching him to see if he destroyed the league, now that he is proving to be one of the worst he isnt going anywhere else and will struggle to keep his job here i think

Mark Tyndale has a Euro gig... in a decent league too.
Gilder might be best back in the D-League though, not much point playing in a lower Euro comp if your aim is to crack the NBA.

might be handy for him to find those mysterious pounds that went missing on his flight over too

If anonymous pays up then he'll essentially be taking you on a blind date, then again he may be a very attractive female.

i dont think its a girl. and its not really a blind date when he has offered to shout all of hoops lol. as he did write "ill buy you all steak dinners" and i assume the you all meant everyone in that thread at the very least.

by no means am i bashing on him for being wrong, i have said things that have been wrong also but to rest steak dinners on it thats a big call.

I'll be happy with a Sausage Roll. If you could bring it down to the bench for me, that would be awesome! Don't forget the sauce.

Gday Lads and Ladies

It was me who make the original post and the promise of free steaks. For the record I am a guy and I am from Sydney. I get excellent first hand information re: Sydney Kings info and rumours. I am happy to dosh out a few steaks, as it seems Trey Gilder has outlasted my educated prediction.
For the record I flat out don't like the guy and wish he was not on the Kings roster, they could have done much better.
Sometimes when imports don't perform well or are not a good fit for a roster they will be told they should explore other options, sometimes when they have been playing particularly poorly and have a record of poor attitude those other options tend to dry up. And sometimes these imports have "injuries" that allow them to be cut from the roster.
Anyone interested in a "double or nothing"?
If Gilder doesn't appear on the injured list within a month, I'll put up 3 tickets (cheap seats) and gametime beers to a Kings homegame.
Any takers? I'll take on the first three posted.

Ill take you up on the offer anon, but I doubt you will have to be paying out as Ive heard similar whispers about a looming injury.

Thing is where do they go then? Have they got their eye on another untried import or would they look at recycling Winder?

glad you owned up anonymous i knew you would. however i do agree that for the expectations that were on gilder he has certainly not delivered. its a bet im not willing to take. however if im in sydney for the sixers game im happy to take a free beer. actually before i agree to that what beer do you guys have in that place?

what i reckon happened is, that his scouting report said he was the 13kg bigger than he apparently was (somehow he needed to get a gig so they made that up so that he would get a club) then he gets here, says he has lost 13kg and blames his form due to that and injuries.

Anon- kudos to you for re-appearing, but I too will take my steak or meat pie- when you're at the Jungle we'll tee it up!!!!

I wouldn't feel right putting someone else's personal views up here. But if I were one of the King's players, I would be sick of him too.
Apparently he practices hard, but doesn't lift well.
