Try for him regardless. Could get by with just one more big if we had to and still have money/points to replace Mills with a big once he left.

I'm not against trying to get him onto the roster anyway as long as we still have the money/points available to bring in a legitimate big once the lockout ends.

The only real issue I can see with getting him in Adelaide comes down to what the club told Warren his role would be in order to get him to sign. If he was promised the starting PG spot and then we get Mills, it could potentially be an issue, but as long as he is willing to fit what the team needs (without any issues) then I'm all for bringing in Mills until the lockout is over.

Clarky if we got Mills I will say he would be our starting to guy with a lineup like this

Johnson/Aussie Big or Import
Ballinger/Creek
Weigh/Herbert
Mills/Ng
Warren/Crosswell

Not saying Creek will play any minutes here just trying to point out starting lineup and bench

I would say Ballinger, Johson and 3rd big will rotate between PF and C
Weigh and Creek will play SF
Mills and Herbert will play SG
Warren and Crosswell PG
I would say the person to lose the most minutes would be Ng getting relugated to 10th man

Big Sexy - As long as we keep Warren happy I don't mind who makes the starting lineup. He is the long term answer at PG this season, don't want him to lose faith in the coach/club if we get Mills.

If we have the points/money available in the cap I would love to see us get Mills and then a backup big who can hold down the PF/C position when we need to rest Balls/DJ. If we can get a solid player to come cheap and play that role (similar to the role Dowdell played last season) then we will should still have the points available to sign a 2nd import if/when the lockout ends.

Perhaps the 36er players should ring Patrick to come and play instead of phoning the season ticket holders for more money!

They haven't yet..........we received a letter from the club advising that the players will be calling during the month of August to speak to us about exciting new opportunities (I think were the words they used)

But you would already know that if you had put your money where your mouth is and purchased season tickets wouldn't you anon!!!!

Creek is not a 4 man big sexy and he never will be at men's level!

Read 1 more line of his post.

Or better still read on to the paragraph after that.

Learn to read Anon. Would save you the time of posting and will save me the time of replying and everyone the time of reading your post.

Of course, someone who followed the NBL would know that Creek could match up on guys like Boucher, Dann, Rush and probably Mims who will all spend time at the 4-spot.

Weigh could fill in some PF minutes and leave time for Creek and also Herbert at SF. Making Mills work is the least of the 36ers worries - worry about getting him first.

He is in Australia at the moment

Mills reported to have signed in Turkey with Ilyasova
