I was asking liam Santamaria on Instagram is there any news on Cam Bairstow returning no reply yet but should be a big target for a team looking at 2 guard imports

"no reply yet"

solid gossip!

I would say if Sam froling goes to Cairns Oliver not returning and Machado has re signed

I slid in Bogut's DMs to ask if he would ever consider playing in Perth alongside childhood friend Damian Martin. No reply yet, but should be an enticing option for him!

Anyone else got any rumours with zero confirmation?

I sent lebron a tweet asking if he's the one import for Adelaide, no answer but would be a solid pick up

Messaged MJ and told him he was too soft for the NBL, expect him to sign with a team soon because of his competitiveness

Seen a lot of fans tweet Nick Young about playing in the NBL this year. No reply yet, but he's said previously he'd consider playing in Australia!

Drmic Brisbane

Both Frolings to Cairns means that Oliver isn't coming back

Lots to play out with the Hawks situation that will impact FA if they don't return.

Blanchfield to replace Drmic at Adelaide if Hawks fold.

36ers should have waited and got Grida and Naar instead of Giddey. Giddey will be gone while the other two will be building blocks for a franchise.

if the froling brothers go to cairns, does Jawai or harry start at center and does deng move to the 3

Grida won't be playing anywhere due to injury.

Deng can not defend the three spot, neither can Noi though. Can not see both Frolings at Cairns.

Ask Homicide as he gets the inside word from all of the owners....lol!

36ers Instagram is opening a guestion time with Conner henry

Is Henry still coach i thought Von Hofe said it was someone else

Corey Williams said he was sent an email about the Hawks signing Luke Nevill to a multi year deal. I sent him a DM. No reply yet. Seems legit

I don't know why your being a dick about guy above but Carey Williams reply to me everyday when I ask him questions

Keanu Pinder to Perth dependent on what happens with Kay's Europe move.

If Damian Martin retires Perth may also have another look at Emmett Naar who was nearly a Wildcat before Norton signed on.

Breakers possible starting side next season

Tai webster
corey webster
Scotty hopson
fotu
jack salt

Kay has multiple offers but it's the Cov 19 situation that is he is sorting through to see which places is the safest. He will not return. Perth have contacted Cam Oliver’s agent but he is not signing with Perth. Has higher priorities at the moment.

Breakers just need a sg, could be cheap import

Webster / Weeks / Li(DP)
Webster / SG? / Murray(DP)
Hopson / Abercrombie
Delaney / Fotu / Darling
Loe / Salt / Wynyard(DP)

that breakers team will win the champships

T.Webster / Weeks / Li(DP)
Hopson/ C.Webster / Murray(DP)
Abercrombie /Delaney
Fotu / Darling
Loe / Salt / Wynyard(DP)

if I was the kings and bogut doesn't return they should cut newley and lisch and spend money on tate oliver and Goulding for one year

were does Sydney go now with bogut ware gone and newley 36. I cant see them in the top 3 next year without something back happening

Overtime last night said Sydney had an option on Moller and they had better get it done, there's been a fair bit interest in him. Newley form last season was great, but yes Sydney looking in a bit of a rebuild pattern. If they can get Kickett, Bruce back plus import point guard and five man of reasonable quality could still play finals.

Sydney should go after
Adel Deng
Humphries
jois
mathiang

#731 not one of those can play except for mathiang in the five spot.

Perth with cotton citizenship

Import / Norton / Britt(DP)
Cotton / Buluk / Reath(DP)
Import / Steindl / Travers
Kay / Wagstaff / Pinder
Mathiang / Majok

Great starting lineup but not as deep as nz



Brisbane

Import / Cadee / Wigness(NS)
Sobey / Drmic / Dennis(DP)
Adel / Gliddon / Goldfinch(DP)
Patterson / Vukona / Dalton(DP)
Magnay / Hodgson / Harrison

breaker will kill the league next season but do u think Kay returns

is ware done in the NBL? SEM and Bris could use Casper

10 man rosters.

Phoenix

Roberson / Adnam / Gibson
Vasljevic / Madgen / Hickey(DP)
Creek / Te Rangi / Stephens
Wesley / White / Trist
Pineau / Salt(steal from nz)

Kay will be back in Perth.

cut madgen and trist

Cairns

Machado / Kenny / Fisher or Dufelmeier(DP)
Newbill / Djeric / King(NS)
Noi / Krslovic
Deng / Froling / Blagojevic
Jawai / Froling


Think Oliver is gone but most would prefer him back and Newbill go to Adelaide or somewhere.

can someone do a Kings squad I have been think all day and its F ing hard witch way they go next season with out Bogut

If I were cairns id be pushing kids to come out of college or don't go to college.
Lat mayen and David okwera would be cheap gets in those forward positions with huge potential.

hopefully bogut part owner helps found his replacement

Sydney

Import / Bruce / Bayles(DP)
Lisch / ?
Tate / Newley
Cooks / Moller
Brandt / Bogut / Hunter


Bogut signs for smaller salary with fewer minutes.

Not sure what the Asian import situation is.
Baba would be a great sg get.

10 man rosters.

not a bad kings squad but not a title favorite

Cairns would be desperate to bring in a Froling, all they do is quit throughout the whole family. Would think they would be content with locals and hoping they're lucky again with imports. Why bring a cancer in. Plus they've picked up a Sapwell to play, no need for machado to return lol.
Harry would best suit the kings, both with no heart.

Maybe cooks goes home to Illawarra for starting pf

No. Retain,y needs to be split into 2 asap. Full breaker roster almost with many teams with multiple kiwis, also plenty college kids.

I would want and see if the balls buy the hawks to see if they spend money on players or keep it a budget team

Dejan vasiljevic making his way to the NBL? I could see him eventually averaging close to 20ppg once he gets the opportunity

Sydney
Import, Bruce
Lisch ? Might retire Newley
Newley Moller
Moller Kickett
Import Hunter Kickett
Need to find another two guard and import five and point. Imports could be less experienced this season as less money to attract them. Taylor could be a good option at point for Sydney. Kings should act quickly on Moller as clubs start circling. Can't see Cook back.

Any word on Euro players coming back?

Loveballs got no idea as usual, are you ever positive about anything, you must be a delight to be around.

Sourbroker.

"Let's be serious.
How is Moller going to come up against the Kays, Tates and Olivers?"

Does it matter? Will they even be in the league this season?

Moller was playing 23 minutes plus a game at start last season and playing a lot of four spot, was in the running for best sixth man till injury. The kings missed him big time and you obviously don't watch many kings games.
Stick to your lawn bowls you grumpy old man and if you want to comment on basketball no some facts.

Import / Naar
Dech / Glover
Adel / Blanchfield / Coernraad
Cooks / White
Import / Ogilvy

No some facts... Lern to rite.

I would cut Newley and lisch and spend the money on youngest and imports

So Newley to 36ers and lisch back at the Hawks to mentor maar and dech

Hawks up against it with time. Until the NBL names the new owners & the new owners name the new coach ( who ever it will be ) no player is going sign there
Dech, Glover & Froling are all free agents with the VA of the Hawks, you would think being so close to July 1st that they would all try their luck & see what's on offer before committing

Josh Smith yes the Josh Smith is rumoured to be going to the NBL

Let's be serious, you're sour. All the time.

It's not your fault though, you were born in a lemon tree and now make everyone's life miserable. I guess that's the irony with your online name? No love to give....

School holidays ^ .

I love josh smith but hasn't played for 2 yrs so I cant see a top team after him

the next 5 yrs will hopefully be the greatest ever with aussie and kiwis players like

ingles delly mills baynes broekoff and it would be cool if adams and irving play a season in the nbl

Teams will be much deeper in 5-10 years depending on how much they expand.

Players on options become free agents on 1st June if not signed by clubs to allow agents to look around before free agents list comes out first July. Anyone no of any options being taken up or rejected.

I believe it was in the players agreement when the salaries were getting reduced and the free agency was pushed back. It makes sense as it gives players time to look around before free agency begins just like all the free agents, ie Drimic already seems to be going to Brisbane. I'm actually chasing around now to try and confirm.
There’s a few players on options ie Magen who would need to be told if they are keeping him, so if not he gets a chance to see what’s available before clubs make there minds up.

I think #954 is right. It all got hanged due to the delays. I'm not certain why but I believe the players union organised it.

I believe they can talk to clubs but they just can't sign, this could be an unusual time re signings in the nbl. I also believe players that were on options can now negotiate new contracts as the previous option is over.

I believe they can talk to clubs but they just can't sign, this could be an unusual time re signings in the nbl. I also believe players that were on options can now negotiate new contracts as the previous option is over.

So when is FA starting Kobe?

To be able to weigh up options. Clubs and players get time to negotiate since all previous contracts got reduced.

still a month away

When is the list of players on free agency released, if what is written above is true a I believe it is all players can be listed now if uncontracted including players with options not taken up.

Has that Sydney king's forward got citizen played for king's 2 yrs ago

^ Huh?

Even if turner has citizenship, he's no nbl player.

Sydney looking very skinny, certainly need a 1 and 5 man import unless Bogut returns. Didi might be available if not picked up by nba, you would think be good to get out Brazil at present.

As a kings regular, Moller was our biggest injury loss last year. Hopefully his option is fool proof and he stays.

Constitutes.

I'm not certain, but contracts don’t seem worth much anymore. Didn’t he have a three year deal at United and left after two. If Didi come back, he had a two year deal subject to nba deal, is he a next star still.

Like usual koberulz doesn't know sh**
Didi still a NS next season. Suck it

Froling is just Hodgsons backup with Magnay playing the 4.

Oops forgot about Harrison.

"I think if you look at the players the Cats have chased, and missed, it indicates that players are often looking for things other than the last dollar.
If the offers are similar, then minutes and relationships with coaches become important."

Now that the last of Bevos guys have are retiring, you'll see the lack of recruitment of quality Aussie players by Trev without the help of Nielsen.

Trev sure has a cushy gig.
He can't coach,
He can't recruit,
The players all hate him and want to leave,
and the league just keeps giving him championships

Multiple teams in talk with Taylor (Budget Import)

Perth & Why: because relationship with Cotton/Decent 3&D PG/Fits right into system with Damo retiring (Not confirmed)

Sydney & Why: because Lisch might be done(Surgrey on Ankle), Fans love him & Kings wouldn't go for a 5 because they have Kicks & just signed Jordan Hunter to a 3 year deal

Adelaide & Why: Coach Henry loves players like him running the team at the PG position (Team First, Unselfish, Defender & Prioritize Winning)

I believe his name has come up a lot because of the potential he’s showed, he won’t cost teams a lot of money and they know what they will be getting other than other imports out there that might cost more & would be going on hearsay and not actually watching him up close

I'm not certain kicks and hunter are going to play 5 together. No Bogut import 5 is a must..

honesty as a kings fan I would love Bogut to return but as a backup, by next season the kings squad could be cut in half with players like Lisch Newley Kickert Bogut retiring. Sydney Kings squad that I can see returning in two seasons time is Jordan Hunter who is signed to a 3 yr deal. College kids from Sydney and European and G league players from NSW

Seniors

Lachlan Anderson 6 8 forward
Myles Cherry 6 8 forward
Chier Maker 6 8 forward

Europe G league

Angus Brandt Dominic Gilbert Nathaniel Munster Issac Humphries

^^^
You are kidding, most those guys would not make an nbl1 team, Brandt and Humphries the exception.

I was only suggesting there's no local depth, Kings are going to have to pay double salaries just to get good players

NOW

Lisch Hawks need senior players to mentor young guards
Newley 36ers

Moller is back with Kings for one more yr

Chris pongrass connection with Memphis hopefully can get 2nd round pick player
and Memphis G league players like Uthoff Watanabe Jois

if didi stays is he still counted as a NS

^No one really knows because of the lack of transparency around NS rules.

staying leaving retiring or done in the NBL

Kendall Stephens plays offence only and that's very streaky. One or two older players on that list would be reasonable depth but rest not much there to get excited about.
Walker and Hooley would be useful at Adelaide that don’t have a lot to chose from. Vague as well probably, they all play defence.

Majok and Moller good pick ups for there clubs.

Anderson will be at Phoenix, him and Pineau to share the five spot.

Melbourne in talks with Kevin White

They spend more than anyone else.

And this..

https://richlist.thewest.com.au/2019/20-11/

11. Jack Bendat

$849 million | Perth Wildcats

2018: $794 million

Perth clearly spend more

Is 412 and 621 the same moron.

627 definitely butthurt Perth fan

yes and 620 is a deranged Perth fan

Perth fans have no reason to be butthurt.
Have won more titles since 2002 than Adelaide have won total.

Butt thirsty

Ogilvy to Perth. Hot rumour

The Perth fans won't understand this.

Just a hoops.com rumour re: Ogilvy.

Norton
Cotton
White
Tate
Ogilvy

Solid 5

Nah swap White for LeBron James.

More citations.
Koberulz would be loving this.

has deng adel signed with SEM? aussiehoopla says to be announced

Aussiehoopla also has him in talks with Adelaide.

but not announced

Fotu signs at Venice, not at breakers.

Kings now looking totally different.

Import, Bruce
Didi (if available) ?
Newley, ?
Moller, ?
Import, Hunter.

Or

Import, Bruce
Newley, ?
Moller, ?
Kickett, ?
Import, Hunter.

Sydney unveils new Uniform and Mascot:

Import/Bruce-1
Dech-2-1
Madgen/Kenyon-2
Louzada/Newley-3
Moller-4-3
Cooks-4
Kickett-4-5
Import/Hunter-5

who are the top 5 NBL Australian free agents

Dech is staying at the hawks, hopefully something announced this week.

Kings should rebuild, madgen is not long term.

That's a team ten years ago would have been great, now stocks in deep heat will skyrocket, looking real old. Bogut and Lisch were old too but if Newley and Kickert are expected to be a couple of your top locals then Weaver will have to get some really good imports that'll stay on court most of game. And not having Bogut roaming the key will hurt and perimeter mistakes.

I thought #807832 was Perthworld posting as an anon.
Has been known for childish memes and GIFS.

Several players available from July 1.
Including

Kickert
L Walker
Andersen
Goulding
Barlow
Pledger
Vague
Madgen
K Stephens
Drmic ( Brisbane?)
Te Rangi ( SEM)
Krzlovic
J Kenny
Noi
Jawai
Ogilvy
Naar
Blanchfield
Coenraad.

Some of the above will/should retire, others will stay where they are or move on.
Should be plenty of player movement this offseason.

Plus some of the following might join NBL too
Broekhoff
Adel
Motum
Mathiang
Fotu
T Webster
Salt
Darling


Bring on July 1.

Fotu has signed in Italy, you can take him out straight away.

Righto re: Fotu.

oh dazz

The reduction of imports from 27 to 18 helps.
But I wonder where some new imports will be recruited from if there is no summer league.

"The reduction of imports from 28 to 19 helps."

Corrected for Sydney.

Wouldn't mind Bairstow if Plumlee doesn't stay.

Plumlee has an Aussie partner and is going to naturalise so he can play for Perf as a local.
Plus he's going to take an ownership stake, and play for minimum wage.

He's also working on getting some ex-NBA mates to come out.

I am guessing your talking shit

Anyone who is not signed now is a free agent I believe. Do clubs have till end of moth to sign there players still ? It's all very confusing.

Onya Andrew.
Poor spelling and grammar is despicable.

Wildcats will introduce special screening procedures, to enable the Arena to be the first venue open to the public.

Bendat has also bought a surplus A380, to fly the Cats and 800 fans to very game.

Also in discussions to buy the Hawks, rename them the Bandits, and Relocate to Perth.

Hilarious...

Trimble to play in Spain for 20/21 season.

trimble was done in the nbl

"Bendat has also bought a surplus A380, to fly the Cats and 800 fans to very game." Koberulez needs a citation.
Equally why shouldn't this be true? "Why of all leagues do you think the Euroleague will be okay?" Citation needed.

I want a citation for you stating earlier that EU basketball wont be back until mid next year.

So where is your evidence Kr that the EU basketball will be shut down until mid next year at least?

Mathiang to Manaco in French league.

That's a shame re: Mathiang if true.

He's on more coin in Europe, nbl can’t compete in a normal season, let at all when wages are halfed

"I remember reading, about 2 to 3 wks ago, that both the Eurocup & Euroleague cancelled for this year. Has that changed?" Dunno but will it not be cancelled in 1 years time?

Most euro competitions will start up again in September/ October, plus all there leagues. Germany are playing at present to finish this season, Israel shortly.

I doubt it. Most counties are not crazy paranoid like ours is. You have been brainwash by kobe and his doomsaying about the world being shut down for years.

International travel is not going to resume until 2021, and even then is likely to have restrictions. It's not paranoia or being brainwashed, it's a friggen pandemic you moron.

NO one mentioned international travel. Who cares about international travel! There is no reason why these competitions can't be run in 1 years time. KR said there will be no EU competitions in 1 years time. Moron.

who deservers a second chance in the NBL

Ray turner
Jeremy kindle
Igor hadz
Peter hooley
Damon heuir
Bennie lewis

all ex nbl players and I guess there is more ex nbl players who deserve a second chance

can a import like Deondre McWhorter play in the nbl

Only last week the "World" recorded the single highest day of confirmed cases. This isn't going away quickly.

NOne of the above.

"Doomsdaying about the world being shut down...."

"International travel will be shut down until 2021"

"No one mentioned international travel. Who cares about international travel"

Hmm, I don't know, if you can't put two and two together and work out the connection between shutting the world down, and not having international travel, maybe you shouldn't be criticising anyone else's POV because you clearly haven't got a fucking clue.

We are talking about the EU leagues. That's all. Are you now saying they can't exist without planes flying? Maybe like the WNBL they will have no imports? Or perhaps the NBL will have no imports either. Get with it knobhead? Those 2 quotes aren't from the same person either. So much time on your hand clearly.

With so many players reaching retirement age, it'll be good to get some more time into those young Aussie/kiwi DPs.

How much should the salary cap go up for us to be competitive? Up to 2 mill?

Clearly you have NFI.

Yet again there is no salary cap. How many times does it have to be said?

tinghts overtime Liam suggested

the king might been after cg43 jack white
jack salt 36ers

Can someone translate #403 post please.

hey dickheads don't u watch Overtime on twitter. have you assholes heard of Liam Santamaria I guess assholes and dickhead

what Liam Santamaria said tonight on overtime, about free agent rumour was
the Kings might be after Goulding to replace Lisch and Jack Salt could be heading to Adelaide

Import/Dillon/Mudronja
Giddey/Teys
Import/Mcveigh/Harris(DP)
Motum/Kyei
Johnson/Salt

Adel a possibility for sf

would Reuben Te Rangi be a good fit with Adelaide

Weak roster #412.
Especially at shooting guard.

@ #410 . Thanks for translating what #403 said.
Can only assume #403 was stupid or drunk.
Or a bit of both.

36ers should sign Dj Newbill at the two and kendall stephens at the three

Stephens would suit the no play defence of Adelaide.

that why u sign Newbill

Mccarron/Ili/Short(DP)
Goulding/SG? Madgen, Vasljevic, Dech, Te rangi etc
Prather/McDaniel
Barlow/White/Purchase(DP)
Import/Acuil


Cut smith Milner
Trimble and long gone

Barlow and Prather go down in that above list and Melbourne are f..led.

Goulding to Sydney

Cooks was on a lot more than the player he replaced in Kuany.

Cooks was a lot more than kauny but still very overrated.

Gliddion to Phoenix

wasn't Perth after AJ

who ever signs jack salt his agent Daniel moldovan says he will be out for month because of a injury

Mason peatling a SF or PF

Power forward is Peatling.

Roberson/Adnam
Gliddon/Gibson/Armstrong?
Te Rangi/Stephens
Creek/Trist
Wesley/Pineau

If no te Rangi, then Creek plays sf and they get another centre.

Another losing side immediately.

Stephens has re-signed and Trist and Madgen are both moving on according to article on NBL website.

can someone describe a offence rebound centre, with SEM possibly having a tonne of shooter there going to need a good off rebounder

any of NZNBL imports be good enough to play in the NBL
Wayne blackshear SG
Wally ellenson SF
Elijah Minnie F
Curtis Jenkins G
Brian Williams SM
Adrian forbes C
EJ singler F

If u could get Singler and Ellenson brothers would you take them both

EJ singler is the young brother of Kyle who played 356 nba games
Ellenson is the brother of Henry played 81 nba games

Why are their brothers part of your scouting report?

I just saying ej singler would be a cheap import and maybe he could get his brother to come to the nbl as a cheap marquee

Import sf and pf with Reath starting c maybe.

Kay has plenty of time to make his decision, he could be back if the euro competitions are stopped again.

Kay just signed in Spain

Kay gone 100%, brave decision considering covid 19.
