Still got to make the playoffs first Isaac :)

Welcome back DJ - Glad to have you back in blue!

I take my hat off to the 36ers.

Credit where credit is due.

To effectively replace Montreal and BJ Anthony with Motum and Johnson is one helluva effort.

A starting lineup of Gibson, Wilson, Creek, Motum and Johnson. They have now increased their bench depth with Petrie, Teys(or Wilson), Big Luke, Crawford.

KingJames, yes, and that's why they were $13-34. But that's still a good price for a team with a half-decent chance who recently beat Perth and Melbourne on the road, then added a former club MVP who is already familiar with most of the team.

Still every chance that they miss out or slump, but it is gambling after all.

As many speculated, Adelaide got the deal done. Well done.

Unfortunately the article still mentions getting the clearance done before Friday.
Hope like hell it happens.

I also hope DJ is mad as hell about sitting on the bench so much and looking to smash some teams :)

Gives the Sixers a lot of options for play style.
With Gibson, Wilson, Creek, Motum and DJ they could be running and gunning.
Or they can go massive with Gibson, Creek, Petrie, Motum and DJ.

Every player except Luke and maybe Creek are 3pt threats so spacing should be great.
Wilson and Creek will love the room for drives.

Would he be paid under the salary cap?

They can always sign him as their Marquee player if they need too.
Unless they used that on Motum?

Would be a backloaded contract I presume, much like Motums.

In the interim he will play on BJ's salary and the following year(s) will make up for it.

The article only mentions him signing for the rest of the season.
Any one heard if it is longer then that?

Aussiebballer - at present, add Gibson to Creek and Schenscher. He hasn't been reliable from 3 point range this season and his 3-pt shooting has been abysmal (2 of 28) since Xmas. If he can fix that, the 36ers will be a much better chance to go all the way and win Isaac some money. If he doesn't, then he won't be someone other teams need to guard closely outside the 3-pt line. That said, it hasn't been a problem since he's been adding so much in other areas (his defence, playmaking and rebounding have been good) and other players have picked up the offensive slack.

Daniel Johnson for sixth man of the year?

Yeah Gibson's offence is a major concern.
He isn't shooting much, even when open and when he does shoot it is not going in.
Wilson has stepped up and is probably taking shots away from Gibson, but it doesn't explain Gibson's lack of aggression or bad percentage.

Someone mentioned 3 years in another thread?

Isn't Schenscher out of contract after this season? Or does he have another year?

DJ and Motum together could be an almost unstoppable offensive force - or they could just get in each other's way. I would like to think they compliment each other well, but I think only time will tell.

I imagine it's multi-year (heard three) and backloaded. Adding that to Motum next year will hamstring them a bit elsewhere, but I think you have to take that considering they're both potentially All-Star Five calibre players.

Not sure how they'll fit Schenscher, Petrie and Anthony into that front court though.

If Creek and Teys are contracted or stay, the logjam extends all the way to the guard ranks.

Perth cheating again!!! Bastards!!

Oh wait.... hang on a second......

You would also think dj and Brock might have euro out so maybe that is an issue moving forward?

Agree Isaac, I think they'll have to choose either Anthony or Schenscher if DJ and Motum stay, and while those two are role players they're both important fits for the team.

Anthony would probably be the one to go but they'll miss him. If they can keep Gibson, Wilson, Teys and Creek to go with that frontline it will be a pretty scary offensive team.

BJ would be out on injury waivers wouldn't he - usually a 12 month recovery?

Petrie will still start. DJ off the bench for the first few games at least.

Great job by Sixers ownership once again. It's not every ownership group that could or would pull off two such impressive mid-season signings!

I'd be surprised if DJ starts straight away though. We can't afford to drop any games and I think it would be better to maintain the balance the starting lineup has shown over the past month. Bring DJ in to hopefully wreak havoc against opposing backups for now.

Can't wait to see how this season pans out now! I reckon NZ and Cairns are praying we don't make the playoffs!

You still can only have 5 on the court at the same time and there's only 1 ball to go around.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself:)

pretty good signing especially at this stage of the season but a big who can't defend and needs the ball in his hands to effect the game doesn't curb my enthusiasm for title #4 in NZ sorry.

there is NO D in Anial Johnson.

will be interesting to see how Johnson & Mouth Motum gel.

You know something, I would rather the club have the headache of who to possibly let go for next season than have to go searching for a player to sign. That of course is assuming that both Motum and DJ are still with the 36ers in 2015-16.

At the start of this season we had only one player (Schenscher) who was taller than 6'8" (203 cm). As it looks we are now going to have a front court with a 6'11½" centre and a 6'10" PF, with a 7'1" backup centre. In terms of height (and quality) its been a major improvement.

Though I do agree with Achtung Baby - injuries aside I think DJ will probably start on the bench for at least this weekends games until he gets back into the 36ers swing of things, and gets used to playing with Motum and Jamar Wilson.

Likely pair DJ with the originals... Do you like that … THE ORIGINALS… coming to you soon… Be afraid, be very afraid…. I need a drink…….

No one wants to face Adelaide in a series with this much fire power, and Motum being able to finally back up his mouth.... Enjoy

If NZ finish on top and Adelaide sneak into the finals we very well may see that match up and neither of our opinions will matter.

So are Adelaide broke or not? Last week there was talk of Adelaide needing NBL assistance but this week you're signing DJ.

DJ has been cleared to play - will suit Fri against the Hawks!

I think a sponsor helped out with paying DJ.

he has been training here and talking to them about next season....he hopes to stay

Applaud that sponsor whoever they are!
