September 1st and there are reasons for that

Waiting for someone else?

Half the forum has been claiming Ere is a Sixer. Not sure why you were waiting on a throwaway mention in a blog.

Iggle Piggle "With other teams already playing pre season games when is the club going to officially announce it."

What teams are playing pre-season games with both their imports?

How are they being arrogant?

1-9-2015, is they day when the government can officially approve supplementing Ebi's salary with the new SA pension concessions.

I wouldn't cut them slack, new group or not. We're talking cheap basics at one of the most crucial times for any club.

I couldn't even tell you who owns the club. I have friends who are 36ers fans and I doubt they could name the roster, including one person who's worked game nights at the club for years.

Isaac are you Oscar Formans brother?

Look at our page on the NBL website (despite the absolutely horrible user interface), there's articles about re-signing DJ for 3 years, signing Sobey, re-signing Gibson, re-signing Petrie, signing Walker, signing Hodgson, re-signing Teys and signing McNeail. There's articles on Gibson making the Boomers, our Las Vegas Summer League team, Creek making the World Uni Games team, new Ownership group and a report from last season.
So they haven't announced the Ere signing, but it's been hinted at it happening next week. Maybe there's an immigration issue, maybe they have something else up their sleeve to announce at that same time, maybe they were exploring the Jawai option first, before fully committing to Ere, maybe that's just the date they chose.
We've been updated on signings as they happen. The rumour at this point is Ere has signed. That's all it is for now. Up until last night, when Perth announced the Jawai signing, it seems like we had our hat well and truly in the ring to get him. It's fairly reasonable to assume that that had at least something to do with the fact we haven't announced the Ere signing yet.
Waiting a week for a signing to be announced isn't really going to hurt our season is it?

Perth haven't announced anything

"Our" las Vegas Summer League team?

You news link must be different o mine , literally most of what you wrote isnt on the web site for me

Hendo8888, that's basic, required content. A lot of people wouldn't be visiting the club or league site. There should be 1-3 tweets a day, interaction with other clubs and accounts, etc. Take the news to where people are. Look at what other clubs are doing - Melbourne have really stepped it up, Illawarra doing lots of stuff.

Rex, yes, Oscar is my younger brother.

Just quietly, the Taipans are an excellent example of what to do:)

Just loudly, the Wildcats are an even better example!

Chalmers, I don't see all their stuff, but I wonder if they could add a bit of personality/flair. Almost too professional. Melbourne have added a bit of personality to theirs.

Adelaide is easily running last on Twitter. The NBL should tell them to get their shit together.

Fair point, it is a bit "stale" in delivery at times. Not as much banter as other clubs.

Just like their fans!

In all fairness...complaints regarding the schedule and website design was out of their hands - you cant blame them for that.

Anon #545573, the league and every team has the same web site design, that wasn't their choice. If you want to argue content that's fine but design wasnt their choice.

They potentially could have negotiatied the schedule more but I doubt they would have been very successful as it was a directive from the top and a plan they put in place as they felt it was the best option to aid them in securing a tv deal.

Saw Ere walking in Rundle Mall the other day so he is either here to watch some local ball or he is a future 6er. As for the communication stuff, its embarrassingly poor.

What shape is Ebi in? Looking fit and healthy or what?

On May 24, 2014, Ere signed with Caciques de Humacao of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional as a replacement for Zach Graham.[10] He managed 12 games for Humacao and averaged 19.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

In December 2014, Ere signed a short-term contract with Élan Béarnais Pau-Orthez of the LNB Pro A.[11] On January 11, 2015, his contract was extended for a further two months.[12] With the return of Marko Simonović from injury, Ere parted ways with the club on March 16.[13] In 14 games for Pau-Orthez, he averaged 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game. Two days later, he signed with Vaqueros de Bayamón of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional.[14] In 32 games for Bayamón, he averaged 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

Why so many teams in such a short time I wonder. No idea how it works that said of the world...

That's not unusual. In fact, I'd say the majority of imports in Europe change teams at the end of each year.

Anon #545638, Someone (at least I think) complained about the web site design. As far as content goes, I agree with you.

As far as deadline before the schedule was released, this is common and happens every year. It is put in place for the fans who are dedicated no matter what to re-sign and secure the same seats. I for example, re-signed during last years Finals...well before I knew who would be in the team or what the schedule was like.

No one was forcing you to sign up but they have to have a deadline for members who do want to secure the same seats as last season otherwise the load is too much to get everything sorted before the season. The schedule release date was out of their hands and if you want to wait until it is released (which is fair enough) before re-signing then thats your perogative.

There's a few Americans training with the sixers, and one sure looks a lot like Ebi, hey......But, Ebi ain't here YET......

Number 25 thats him...

....and, hodgson's a huge unit, makes dj look small

Guys, I have this strongly feeling that Boti will have the inside scoop on the Ebi signing anytime soon.......but please, please keep it hush.
