I thought not long after the season finished when it looked unlikely Randle would be back that Kevin Dillard from the Breakers would be a nice replacement.

Doyle is a pass first point guard. hence the 3 year deal. An unselfish play maker.

If only Darnell Mee was 25 years younger! He'd be perfect!

Trice's backup in Milwaukee SL team, JeQuan Lewis, might be a good fit with Adelaide. Looks to be a very capable scorer/shooter and unselfish. Liam Santamaria mentioned him as a possible NBL import.

The import point guard was signed a while back
36ers just have not anounced it yet.
I have it on good authority the point guard will be an A grader for the nbl


Roberts was the last piece of the puzzle.

I doubt very highly that Randle changes his mind. He's been pretty open about the fact he thinks they haven't been honest about his contract negotiations etc. He hasn't missed the opportunity to take a dig at Joey/Guy on social media so I assume that relationship has broken down to a point that it wont be fixed.

I don't think it was ever in Randle's court to change his mind. He nominated a ridiculous figure he wanted to be paid to come back and the 36ers rightly moved on from him.

That too.

Alright, this is the truth Sixers. If you bring back Rick Brunson for a season, I'll buy season tickets for the first time in 10 years.

"I don't think it was ever in Randle's court to change his mind. He nominated a ridiculous figure he wanted to be paid to come back and the 36ers rightly moved on from him."

I was hoping that that was just usual negotiation games and jostling.

Anyway maybe if United take Randle we can take Casper Ware.

Creek suggested tonight on radio that all imports are signed. Quicker and more athletic than last yr. more athletic than t ferguson. Interested to who the pg is. Assuming Moore is a done deal.

Boti has basically confirmed on Twitter that the 36ers have signed their PG and the team are very happy.

Good times. The signings so far have the makings of a great team, IMO. It all hinges on this PG signing for me.

@Dave where exactly on twitter does Boti confirm that the 6ers have signed a PG?

Benno, go into "tweets and replies" should find what you are looking for.

It might not be an official confirmation but it's a boti confirmation. Say what you will about the guy buy he is rarely wrong when it comes to 36ers news.

Breakers sign PG Edgar Sosa so not bringing back Kevin Dillard.

36ers have mentioned in the past that they were holding discussions with Dillard.

Do we dare to speculate...?

"I dare ya, I double dare ya MF, say 'WHAT' again"

Tornado, would not be unhappy with Dillard at all. He just seemed like a player who could steer a team.

Master Chief...Dillard would be a good fit I reckon too. Ryan Boatright would be another good pick I think.

Be interesting to see who they have gone with.

Dillard would be incredible.

Ronald Roberts (4/5) and a currently unnamed point guard.

Dont mind how the roster is shaping up. Still dont get how were predicted to finish bottom by most betting agencies (even though it doesnt matter). Just because we lost Randle it doesnt mean were finishing last. But,by the looks of the roster, we will be even faster than last season which should be fun to watch.

I believe the club may be pretty happy.

What are we looking at? Something like this?

Import/Moore/Doyle
Sobey/Drmic
Teys/Creek
Johnson/Deng
Roberts/Hodgson

As usual, range of ways this could play out, but if Roberts is anything like that highlights video and they're happy with the PG import, they should be decent. Wouldn't think anyone would've regressed and almost any import should be an upgrade on Ferguson.

Got the email from the club confirming roberts moore and the pg and the invite to training...
yest yoking.....

Do we know when an announcement is likely?

Looks like Dillard signed with PAOK Thessaloniki, the team Sobes went over to play with after the NBL season. I think their season starts about the same time as ours? So unfortunately seems unlikely we would be the sixers import...

I'm happy to be wrong on this one.

So....;

PG: Dillard / Doyle
SG: Sobey / Moore / Teys
SF: Creek / Moore / Teys
PF: Johnson / Roberts / Deng
C: Hodgson / Roberts

I'd be stoked if we got Dillard although not as talented as Randle he's the kind of player that would likely be a better fit for this team than Randle was but if he's already signed with PAOK?

Dillard, Moore and this Roberts guy would be an upgrade on Randle/Ferguson/Jacobsen.

^Where is Drmic?

Someone has to know who the new PG is. Name drop somebody ;)

Benno...

The google link (non-pay wall) to the article.

Extract from the article.

"The Sixers are the only Australian team in the Singapore event, in which it will be pitted against some of Asia's best teams from countries such as China, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

Adelaide expects to have its three new imports — expected to be Ramone Moore, Kevin Dillard and Roland Roberts — at the event."

Boti's article just now:

OH, and Adelaide 36ers fans? Stay tuned later this week.

Sorry Isaac...

How did you make the link nice and neat like that?

PAOK seem to think Dillard is their man, so it's probably not him.

Pretty poor form by The Advertiser putting in print Dillard was expected to be playing for us in Singapore.

..yes and they put roland roberts there also...

Maybe Dillard was the one on the table at the time of that article, then opted out with Euro contract?

Don't think we'd ever find out.

But if the Sixers are happy with the selection made, I have confidence its someone very good and will take the team to the next level.
