Let's not lose faith, once they move to Homebush they will need someone or something to attract people to that hole.
It's not about making the finals or anything else it's about having a crack at least. Last night's effort was pathetic and highlighted by the ineptness of the head coach and his premature ejaculating appointment by T Hudson. Cotter must be laughing so hard and be happy to be out of such a poorly run place.

They should get the guy from the subway ad. Apparently he is unsigned.

Bit early to be judging the new coach, though I agree Cotter must be laughing.

If he aint on the court, it doesnt matter what he is or does. Time to move on. His absence for so long has hurt the club and results terribly.
I am not sure if 100% accurate but playing 21 of 41 available Kings games isn't good enough.
His importance on the court and to the plays they run is undeniably important, however his absences are now a joke, Not his fault I know, accidents happen but please find a player that can see a full season out (that's fit too).

The Kings season is over regardless so for that reason alone they would be silly to release Childress. The PR fallout, his NBA ties and his positive attitude around the team should keep him there however if I were the Kings I would be trying to get some commitment from him for next season.

If he won't give that then I would look to move on next season. Great player when healthy the best player in the comp by a country mile but his injury last season killed the Kings season and his various injuries this season have wiped out another season. He's good enough that I'd be inclined to give him one more go next season.

Whoever started this topic just won the award for dumbest post in the history of this forum!
NBL is actually starting to get some credibility from other overseas leagues in particular the NBA and you want to sack the guy that has helped create that credibility!
You my friend have absolutely no idea what the NBL needs to stay relevant if you want to sack Childress!
People need to be banned from the forum for starting stupid uneducated topics!

Great idea having a 'connected' player sitting on the sidelines for over 1/2 the time he has been in Australia. Totally counter productive and a waste of money.
Creating credibility by not playing in the NBL that everyone in the NBA supposedly now rates. That' an even dumber statement.

Time to make him head coach

Stupid idea to sack him, if he doesn't believe he can suit up or contribute they could mutually void the contract, not like he needs the money. But to sack him would give the nbl another black eye and put off other high quality imports.
With him the kings are contenders of sorts, just have to be healthy and surround him with good local talent, he can recruit the other import.
Plus from what you hear he's been great PR for the team with the city, why throw that away.

If the Kings somehow manage to keep Childress next year then FFS surround him with talented players. Time for a cleanout in Sydney.

yeah no kidding. bunch of role players on that roster. even lebron would struggle to turn them into a strong team. got to have some talent somewhere for childress to work with. right now I see very little. khazzouh is the only legit talent there and his head does not look in the game for more than 60 seconds at a time. on a good team garleep would be a versatile guy off the bench not a starter. thronton is not a guy who can carry a team. too young, too much responsibility

No need to sack him in effect his injuries deserve him to be sidelined. Forever.
Injury replacement. Bye JC.

MIght be a good idea to blood one of next season's import now.

Isn't Childress contracted for the following season as well.

I don't believe so.

He is out of shape sack him and then 6ers can replace our large import

how injury prone is this guy. unbelievable

We would all agree Childress NBA credentials has raised the profile of the NBL and while the Kings are benefiting from him being on their team, he was recruited to Sydney to lead the team win games and maybe the championship.

Over the last 2 nbl seasons neither is close to happening and the way he has broken down recently with injuries I say a kings championship lead by Childress is as likely anytime soon.

The Kings are in a situation where they need to make a decision that's best for the team, sponsors and fans. IMO that should be to release childress.

There has been lots of players in the past who basketball fans loved to watch and there will be more high profile player such as childress to play in the nbl that fans follow and the nbl use to promote the game.
