Magette looks good but we really need some scorers for him to be effective. On the personel we have right now he wouldn't be my pick. But if you teamed him up with some shooters he'd be deadly/

I think they should be talking to Ryan Boatright.

I hope they don't go with an untried guy in Randle's spot. It's understandable not re-signing Randle but we really need a gun to replace him so a Dillard type would make more sense and it's not like he would be asking for the money Randle was on last season either.

Anon...because Ibekwe is a good rim protector and is agile enough for Joeys game style.

Magette is an interesting choice...not one I hope we are seriously considering though. I think we need more scoring power or at the very least one who is considered a threat from beyond the arc.

Maggette is a bad fit for Joey. Wouldn't be surprised if he was replaced mid-season if he does sign.

LOL this guy looks trash!

I feel a bit for Randle's replacement / potential replacements.

Anything that doesn't look like Randle is going to get "LOL this guy looks trash!".

Don't worry the same happened when DeAndre Daniels replaced James Ennis.

And Deandre Daniels was trash

Is josh Magette the BROTHER of Corey Magette??

"And Deandre Daniels was trash"

He was not what the Wildcats needed that's for sure. Trash? I wouldn't go that far, he was one of the leading rebounders for the year as well as blocked shots.

The main issue was he was forced to play out of position (SF) when he had no handles and could not create.

Dillard would be great, I imagine he wouldn't be too expensive. Could probably get him maybe around 180k? The other 2 imports just need to be upgrades on Ferg and Jacobsen and with a bigger budget I'm sure they will be.

I think that's true and said the same thing recently about Ferguson. Before the start of the season most had us finishing around bottom and I suspect the Sixers probably thought similar which is why they took a gamble on Ferguson.

You're not going to effectively blow an import spot on a high school kid if you think you're a legit contender. Jacobsen was cheap too with Randle taking up a fair chunk of the cap.

Upgrading on both Ferguson & Jacobsen shouldn't be too difficult so not as much would be required out of Randle's replacement. Factor in growth and improvement from our young list and we'll hopefully be around the mark again next season.

Zodiac, I'm glad that you can see that as many fans are so stuck on Randle. Randle IMO went to S#%t in the crunch and because everyone else was so used to standing around watching him all the time, when it came down to it, only sobey kicked into gear late in the last game.

Just imagine if the whole team clicks!!

Looks like Joey's looking for another young star in the making. So I suppose he's not signing the 7' indian guy at the combine.

interesting that its been reported that an asian player import is "mandated" by the NBL.

That 7' Indian bloke has shrunk a bit, he's just a bit over 6'9".

Magette sounds ok. A real pass first pg. Need shooters though. Was Moore a 3 point shooter?

"Yeah exactly no one in Asia cares as they have their own leagues. Same as we follow our league and don't care about theirs.'

yep , you've nailed that point right on the head, we anons have no idea of any Australians playing in any overseas leagues, don't know and don't care.

LoL

"If any Aussie players in Asia they are a scrub so we don't follow them"


Fantastically enlightening comment re asian leagues and the scrubs that play in them.

I agree with you , even in the women leagues, their best players are simply scrubs, just have alook at the names..

LoL (still) :)

Josh Magette just signed a 2-year 'two-way' deal with Atlanta Hawks. He'll still play mostly in G-league but guaranteed at least 45 days in the NBA. He cancelled his SL plan and didn't participate in Orlando. So no Magette to Adelaide...
