I can't imagine Perth letting him go, especially to come here!

If Schensh signs, Does Redhage fit with DJ and Weigh already in place?

He's signed for 2012-13... Unless the Wildcats intend on releasing him (Not sure if they are or not)

If a player wanted to go, a team would be stupid to hold on to them. Too disruptive. Cats could shuffle around to keep Nevill and give Wagstaff, Tovey and Hire more minutes - would come through it OK.

Like I said, Redhage has been successful in Perth so why would he leave? More money would be it, unless he loves Radford and hates Bevo?

Just speculating, but maybe he's been told Wagstaff will be getting bigger opportunities at his expense? Seems unlikely, the way Perth play they need multiple guys at most positions.

Still, Redhage going could allow them something like:

Nevill, Wagstaff, Tovey, Lisch, Martin
Knight, Hire, Creek?, Bartlett, Robbins

That would mean running the two big fellas together for 10 mins a game or so.

Isaac - You see it happen often in the AFL though. Player still contracted requests a trade, club refuses to trade him. 6 months later, the player has re-signed for another few years.

It would be pretty funny to see Redhage as a Sixer. I'd actually prefer him over Ballinger at this point (and that's saying something); though really what we need at this point is a massive improvement defensively.

He is contracted but I guess that doesnt stop him moving to Adelaide (Weigh)

Although he stepped up in the second half of the season to show some glimpses of his previous level I wouldn't be too upset to see him go to make way for Wagstaff. This will have to happen eventually if the Wildcats want to hold onto Jesse for much longer.

Frees up some much needed points and cash too.. allowing us to keep Nevill.

I would be surprised to see it happen though.

I've always thought Redhage is a Natural 3 man instead of a 4 man.

You could play a Schensher/DJ/Redhage front court. That's a pretty heavy front court both on offense and funding. Defense does improve quite a bit.

Redhage would bring that Cattalini vibe to the team with his persona; however atm I'd call it a Blakemore vibe with the cheap shots and elbows.

On the negative side, I'm not sure how Weigh would go with Redhage here; especially if the idea was to build him up as "the man". That won't happen. He would end up the 5th option on scoring. While I don't have an issue with that myself, he's getting paid to do more than be some backup guy.

Redhage would give Adelaide the mobile, perimeter PF it's been lacking since its championship years under Smyth. Im with Alex though, would be a little surprised if it happened.

I wouldn't bet on it at this point, just know that they have had some interest in the past.

I've been reminded that the Radford-Redhage connection is from his first days playing in Tasmania.

If Schenscher signs, I don't know how it would work though given that Weigh is playing the same spots. Would be better off paying up and badgering the crap out of Lisch.

If you had Schenscher, Johnson and Redhage you have 25-30mins for each in the 4-5 spots. It could work. Still, Ill believe this one when I see it.

5) Schenscher
4) DJ
3) Redhage
2) Weigh
1) Import

5) ?
4) ?
3) Creek /
2) Creek / Ng
1) Crosswell

Weigh at the 2 is a could be. Doesn't need to be a scorer with that front court just a distributor

Back up bigs are thin on the ground so would go for a cheap import ala Catron to fill that hole.

I would only go for 1 of Schenscher or Redhage.

Every team's press would be licking their lips at that lineup!!

That looks decent. If they cant get Redhage then sign a mobile import 3-4 to take the same spot.

Re combo guard: Devries has probably just played himself into some big money in the Spanish league, so is unlikely to be an option, let alone a cheap one.

I think Weigh is more a SF/PF than a SF/SG. Not athletic enough to play SG.

Sixers have retained Creek for two years.Doubt they get Redhage or Schenser.

If the Sixers have re-signed Creek, then they should make an even bigger play for Cadee. Being able to put two imports around an Australian core of DJ, Creek, Weigh and Cadee will have the Sixers back on track in no time.

Vart, we had that group (bar Cadee) with two half-decent imports and came last. I know what you're saying, but if I didn't say it, someone else was going to! If Weigh can pick it up a bit, that will be a big help.

Surely its just a hypothetical in the interests to humour the Adelaide people??

He's contracted to Perth. Also, he's one of the highest profile Wildcats player and is somewhat of a household name. I doubt the Wildcats would release him just so they can get a 3pt shooter worth 8-10 points and free up some cash.

He'll be the next Wildcat to get his jersey retired, and I'm pretty sure he will want to captain the team into the Perth Arena era. Plus he wants championships, not wooden spoons (even though he will improve the Sixers wins, he still needs better quality around him)

However if it did happen I'll eat my words!

Issac, I'm banking on Creek and Cadee having huge upsides. There's a lot of improvement in them, and their should still be some improvement in both Weigh and DJ.

Wildcat fan, I would agree with you. In relation to the sport in general, there aren't enough stalwarts at clubs to warrant retiring jerseys. It would be nice to have some staples in our clubs again.

My suggestions are just speculation. In a real world, Redhage wouldn't go off the bench, wouldn't play the 3 spot and wouldn't leave a finals team. It would make no sense in doing so.

I was hoping when Ballinger came to the Sixers, that I'd be seeing another stalwart ala Davis/Maher in another 3-4 years. However that won't happen.

I think on that same subject, it would be good to see Martin and Redhage having their jerseys hanging from the rafters at Challenge.

Vart, that's fair enough, but you could say we were banking on the same last year. Need some proven/winner types around them and that's where we've had problems in recent years.

ild quite like cadee. prefer him to redhage.

No Redhage!!! Hands down the biggest cheap shot mother to ever play NBL
Perth can keep him, he is a talent but I'd rather the spoon than have him running up and down the court for Adelaide. Only downhill from here for Redhage. Plenty of upside for the Sixers.

I wouldn't mind if he left, there is a lot to like in Redhages game but there is also other sides to it which are less becoming. With Wagstaff needing minutes next year it wouldn't be the worst move in history with our points cap problems.

ps. If Redhage could play the 3 im pretty sure he would have been on court more with Wagstaff this season, definitely a 4

Need some proven/winner types around them and that's where we've had problems in recent years.

Redhage is one of those guys you love to hate. Bit like Worthington. He strikes me as someone who would be your favourite player on your team and the one you hate the most for the opposition. He's obviously a very dangerous player. Great range, good inside outside game, has been in a winning team for years... He's probably my least favourite player in the league, but could easily become my favourite when he wins us the game in round 1.

Funny thing looking at the new points rating is I was pretty happy seeing Ballinger rated at 8. Seemed like good value. Redhage was one of the ones that stood out as overpriced at 10. So we let Ballinger go and chase Redhage. Herbert and Creek were the others at 4 and we will probably let them go too. Schenscher finally got downgraded to 9 which is handy if we manage to sign him. Would be a huge big lineup if we landed all 3. That's a lot of the cap though for 2 positions.

EC, I've said my bit about the coach but it appears they're not making the change there.

It like the stock market quote "if you are buying a stock, is there a chance that the person selling it knows more about what you are about to buy than you do"
