So who are Perth after?

Big time club. Congrats Casey!

Eveybody Conga!

Conger signing in Spain, Boone to breakers, believe it.

Strange how Prather has probably become underrated in the NBL. Melbourne fans pining for Felix. Prather is a star, Perth really missed him, dare I say had he stayed they may have still made finals.

Would rather see him overseas than on another team in the NBL. Hopefully he got paid too, 3 championships at two teams in three years has to look good.

I always thought he was better than Torrey Craig, so strange how it works out, opportunity and timing is everything i guess.

Prather is the only one who three-peated in recent NBL history after Troy Georgiu and the Wildcats dropped the ball.

I said in recent as in super recent.

I knew someone would try to be smart.

I meant recent as in super recent.*

Okay. Missing the point guys. The Wildcats let it slip!

Prather was unavailable when the Cats wanted to sign their import so they went with Walker. A few weeks later, Prather became available so United snapped him up. Not sure what they could have done differently.

Unless I'm getting him mixed up with the myriad of other guys who have done this lately, didn't the Wildcats announce Prather was returning, followed by announcing they were releasing him so he could explore opportunities overseas, followed by him signing with United .5 seconds later?

No that was CJ Bruton.

"Lol no idea how it works, Prather wanted Cotton money and the Wildcats didn't want to pay that."

Lol that is not what happened.

"Unless I'm getting him mixed up with the myriad of other guys who have done this lately, didn't the Wildcats announce Prather was returning, followed by announcing they were releasing him so he could explore opportunities overseas, followed by him signing with United .5 seconds later?"

No. I explained above the situation with Prather. Anyone that says anything else (like "Cotton money") is talking out of their arse.

Perth were being tight and it cost them.

Yes, Perth p!ssed him off that much.

Gotta believe Zodiac over Dazz.

Yes, there's no disputing Melbourne got him for less than what he wanted for Perth.

But the reason for not returning to Perth was the fact he wanted to be paid like Cotton was.

These two points are mutually exclusive.

No, the second point is completely made up.

"Wildcats said no, Prather went to Europe looking for more money. Fact."

That is absolute bullshit.

Whether not retaining Prather or not axing Cooke Jr. at the end of the day the Wildcats pissed away a three-peat.

But at least they were in a position to go for one, unlike almost every other club. What a ridiculous criticism.

They were in a position to - and in January did nothing to replace Cooke Jr after it was evident they needed someone else inside after Knight's retirement due to injury. Shocking negligence on the part of the club.

Yes they recruited poorly last year. Sooooo negligent!

Perth's negligence is astounding. Imagine not recruiting well enough so that they failed to qualify for their seventh grand final in the past nine years!

Doing nothing in January, including losing twice in a row to the Kings and not reacting as it was the final straw was negligent.
