Again Sixers lagging behind in getting team together.
Know been less than a week since officially been able to talk to other teams free agents but other teams have done so already .
Not only does this tardiness allows for us to be trumped with new players we also are allowing other teams time to grab our players or force their price up to sign.
They should even be able to fill whole team ASAP as any imports they sign should be known proven imports as we certainly cant get new imports even remotely right.

And again guessing from people that dont know. With the exception of 2 most signings have been re signing their own players, not real hard. If you have no real idea what is going on or who is being spoken to that does not mean that nothing is going on. But hey, I am sure Marty would wnat to tell bretts first !

Other than Liam Rush and Daniel Dillon can someone remind me who has officially been announced as being signed by a team that is different to the team they played for last season

Judging by the rumours over the past week, we have been negotiating with Schenscher, Weigh, Dorsey, Ervin, Homicide, Ubaka, we've contacted Markovic, Mills.
Weigh is pretty much a done deal apparently, just he's overseas, so that is stalled there. He's as important or even more than anyone else that's been signed already. One of the bigger name attainable free agents I would have thought.
Schenscher probably won't sign on with anyone until the last second like he does every preseason. People say we screwed him around by not waiting the last 2 seasons, how about him stringing 2 or 3 teams along for so long waiting on a decision. We acted on Burston and Johnson, because then we at least could get on with building our side rather than waiting until the last minute then scrambling around to form a team.
We're looking for a big piece or 2 to build our side around. No point doing the same as last season and signing all the fringe guys, then acting on the imports and big names and being forced into certain positions.
Dillon and Rush are the only new signings. Handy players, but nothing to build a roster around.
I can't see any of our players' prices being driven up by us not signing them straight away. Carter has already said he's leaving. Hill, Holmes, Ng, Dowdell, Bruce are fringe players at best. If they get a better offer elsewhere, good luck to them, it's not going to be a massive loss with any of them.
I'd say we are trying to build our team as soon as possible. Fill in the big pieces and the small pieces will fit in much easier.

All of the 36er Championship Teams had 8 good players and 2 to make up the numbers. Sign the 8 that will take the main minutes and the others will take care of themselves.

Hendo8888, your memory is incorrect. Last season Schenscher wanted to sign but Clarke decided he didn't want him. That was not waiting for the last minute but rather that he wanted Johnson instead. Also I don't think Dorsey has been mentioned in someone he has talked to but rather whom ppl in the forum want because the guy hit a few 3's in the finals.

I actually think them sending out season renewals before we know who is signed or not signed is a bit rich why should we after some disappointing seasons part with out hard earned cash we could be finishing bottom again. Either hold off on your ticket sales or get some signings cause 5% off a ticket is not much when you think of the sweeteners some get during the season.

Seems like they hurt the faithful and cater to the disenchanted.

The fact that they have not announced much leaves me to think there will be some big changes.
You don't let the bulk of your team go to free agency unless you have some good options up your sleeve.
Let’s face it change is needed. It would have been easy to sign up last year’s team, if that happened I would be disappointed.
I don’t think there is any way the Club could survive another repeat, so I am guessing a shit load of work is going on.
Another interesting point, if the lockout happens and there is no D League where would all those players go?
If your team was done and those opportunities come along, just a theory.

The sixers should sign our proven home growm players immediatley.
NG, Hill, Holmes.
It bullshit that they are being strung along>

regardless who the sixers sign I will be renewing my season ticket, I have been getting my season ticket through the good times & crap times & will continue to renew my ticket as long as I live.

It seriously rubs me up the wrong way when supporters dont renew their membership all because we are having a bad spell. Then once we do well everyone jumps back on board & they call themselves supporters......... please the ones that do that you guys have no idea & are NOT true supporters

I have no problem when people what to renew their seats and what for most of the team to be confirmed. Just don't complain when you can't get your seats because you didn't renew before the cut off

i have been a season ticket holder from since apollo days not missed a season, not what you would call a fair weather supporter. But as I am approaching retirement and my hours are being reduced I start to need to look at where I am spending my dollars, why is it not hard to ask who is in the team before I sign up again, maybe you are all rich enough to sign up without a financial care in the world but when it starts to come to whether I can afford the luxury of a season ticket it comes down to value for money. Do I love the game yes I do, can I watch the game on OneHD yes I can, does that cost me a lot less than travelling to findon to watch it live yes it does.

Don't throw back whether I am a fair weather supporter or not, but perhaps look at the fact that not everyone is in the position to fork out the money even if you can pay it off over the year. Especially when the team may not offer bang for the buck. Show me the team and I will forgo in other areas.

When you have gone to apollo every week to watch district basketball, attended the NBL in Adelaide from inception of the league been a season ticket holder of the sixers from the late 80s then tell me weather i am a fair weather supporter.

Then clarify the difference, if you cant afford it fair enough. If that is an excuse to not renew for some other reason lame. This club is not financially strong if it goes under then look at all the money you can save because you will have no where to go.

where does it say that my financial status actually has to be of concern to you seriously, or to the general public, why can't I have a differing view to you?

why is that people who have concerns about where the team is heading, can't have an opinion without accusatons thrown in their face.

After spending the entire weekend at basketball over the state champs. After spending every weekend following the ABA I won't be starved of the game I love.

I still do not think it is much to ask that a club has a roster organised before they ask for season tickets to be renewed. Or at least if not organised at least partially organised do we actually know who has been resigned who is about to be signed.

Above all I am an individual who is entitled to their own views. Shouldn't this all be about respect of freedom of speech or seriously do you SERIOUSLY believe everyone should agree with you?

FACT:
- less then 6% of members of sporting clubs don't renew memberships due to poor team performances.
- most renew to support the club, not the individuals that make up the team.

If you cant afford season tickets that is fair enough, don't see why everyone is harping on that after all he has been a season ticket holder since Adelaide's inception.

I have followed Adelaide since the early 90's and once again will be renewing my tickets but everyone is different and has different opinions. I LOVE ADELAIDE WIN OR LOSE but do agree unlike last season moves need to be made quick smart so we can have the best possible line up and hence ensure our survival.

Good team - Good results - 36 hundred memberships hopefully.

Big Red needs to be signed, show him how much we want him, show the other players faith and how much ADELAIDE wants them here too. Within a year or two Adelaide will be a chosen destination to come and play ball again.
