Max the timing is crazy on that one haha But I agree a rim protector is more what this team needs over the course of the season than what he is offering.

Ere is needed on this team for his leadership and veteran stability.

Id definitely disagree with that assessment Marcus Camby.

Whilst the idea seems ok , Ere has the experience in clutch situations as we saw tonight. With Randle and Ere making the hard shots means Gibbo doesn't need to which isnt his go as we saw a few years ago. Loving the cohesion this team seems to have. Exciting times and all it took was making 1 import change at the right time. Love , love , love it !

Why do people even acknowledge Marcus Camby's posts these days? He doesn't even try to hide that he's a troll. And has been doing it for years.

Marcus Camby, can Gibbo not offer those qualities? Rim protection is a much greater need for this team over an inconsistent scorer. With Randle we have a lead scorer with Gibson and Johnson we are fine offensively.

It's just my opinion on what the greater need is, I must admit I have been disappointed in Ere so far this season. I just threw it out there to see if others on the forum felt the same as I do.

Great win by the team, Walker really stepped up and played great. Gibson had a terrific 2 games and Randle is a very pleasant surprise.

I know Hendo its just soooooo damn tempting sometimes hahaha

If you could trade in the NBL i would trade Ebi for a piece of air cause thats all he is worth. NOTHING. He sucks Joey i respect you may be doing him a favour but lets get real get with the times!

Benno, considering air contains oxygen which helps us breathe and keeps us alive, i'd say a piece of air is worth a great deal ;)

So ebi hits a shot or two and now hes a keeper? He has sucked every other second he's been on the court. I still think he needs to go asap, and gladness wouldn't be a bad option

I'm not sold either way.

Concerned that he looks slow coming off screens or breaking down defenders off the dribble.

But I would happily take 3 of 8 from three from him every game, especially given he has had a knack his entire career, which he has apparently not lost, off hitting them at game changing moments. Seems to me he will be solid as a spot up shooter receiving off Randle drives/dishes. His D has also been ok, and his size means he doesn't get abused on the block.

Jury is out for mine, but he needs to show more.

I actually think they're better off with a shooter than rim protection. The Johnson, Petrie, Walker, Creek, Gibson group seemed pretty mobile on D tonight when they just needed to lock down the game and wait out the clock.

@MACDUB Very funny. But lets get real he sucks. Yeah he can hit a 3 every 30 shots but his D is terrible.. Send him on his way already!!

His D has been shite, gets blown by every single time! And he cant jump, nor is he quick to get back on defense when a break away occurs. He shoots, hit or miss, thats all he does. I dont think he adds anything great to this team they couldn't get from another guy who can add in various stat areas.

Jury is out for mine as to whether Gibbo can consistently bring veteran leadership. His last 2 games have been very good, but we've seen that before.
Ebi hasn't given enough for long enough in games. His first half tonight was an absolute stinker - he's luck other guys stepped up.
You'd like to think they're exploring their options at the very least.

Ere might not be the guy needed but he fits the system better than gladness. If u made that change then the balance of team is altered.
Dj is unique that he plays more like a guard and his weakness is guarding the opposing big.
Ere and rest of team will get better looks with new pg getting a lot of attention

Yes Gibbo can provide stability but why have one when you can have two leaders?

Perimeter scoring and rim protection were our two biggest needs. We went to solve the perimeter scoring with Ebi and he isn't doing the job. Spark off the bench with 15-20 minutes a night, that's what he should do. If we want him to play big minutes we have to go elsewhere and find another import. This team is better than the 13/14 season team and they made it to the Finals. Adelaide can do some damage.

If anything a 3 and D player would be more of the go I would have thought. Or just another scorer/wing.

Yep another shooter from range would be good. Really spread the D and allow more inside outside options.

Ere is the next logical import cut in the NBL.

It sucks that his great stints in our league had to be followed by this. The guy is out of shape, out of form, and just a shadow of his former self.

In 2007/8 he would have been the perfect selection. Right now he just looks out of his depth.

Joey should make the call. Despite the few 'big' baskets he did make, he is generally performing at a level that might get even an Australian cut.

Ere was pretty good last night, gee there's a lot of haters on here.

He wasnt prettt good last night, sorry but 1-9 start is not pretty good. And that is literally all he offers a team. He may not get cut but lets not sugar coat a pretty ordinary performance.

I don't think everyone is automatically thinking Gladness as a replacement, but more so that something has to be done. Same situation as what Shane Heal said in relation to the Kings, a lot of talent being cut daily right now in the NBA!

Sign jimmer ferdette

They got randle no need for jimmer, Kings on the other hand..

Ere will be fine let him get his rhythm back he will have a 30 pg soon
