Who should they go after?
Using players not on current nbl rosters....
Dellavedova/Mcdowell-White/Zunic
Newbill/NS
Import/Gilbert
Kay/Jois/Waardenburg
Import/Salt
Not many college seniors nbl level next year imo.
Plenty of Aussie/kiwi centres in Europe.
Theor budget will be around Illawaras/Cairns.
No chance for those names.....
Krebs and and Armstrong's are 3-4 years away.
Greenwood potentially could come back in 2 if he’s good enough.
Why do people keep bringing up Jois, no chance, United learned that mistake.
Gilbert is in croatian league. An Aussie 6'6 sf.

Plenty of good names about that no one has mentioned.
Kay to Tasmania.
Wow this thread has no credibility.
Let's hope the coaching staff and selectors got more idea than most those above.
Hate to break to you but ain't many guys around.
Plus you have to add retirees like kickert, Barlow and others.
What's wrong with Kay to tassie, if he doesn’t like Europe and tassie offer him more money.
Broekhoff and bolden are longshots.
Not many can be taken from other clubs with multi year contracts for a lot of guys.
Plenty of guys around now. I reckon I know 4 good players. Available at seasons end. Some nbl contracted others not.
And they are imaginary? And if they move clubs, who willl replace those guys?
Who cares who will replace them! Far from imaginary.
Thon Maker
Bolden
Broekhoff
Bogut
Le Bron James
Reath
Motum
Landale
Kay
Matur Maker
McDowell-White
Dellavedova.
Greg Hire
Plenty of names there to add to this fictitious thread :)-
Hi I'm #372
The following are free agents after upcoming season
McVeigh
Kenny
Barlow
Moller.
Ogilvy
Pledged
Morton
Creek
Creek and Moller would be a great start, I'd say both there clubs at present would like to keep though, add Deladova and some gun shooters plus a few young locals and gun five man and it’s starting to look ok compared to some previous comments.
Dunnigan to the jumpers, you've heard it here first

Could check out Myles Cherry. Good size and great interior defender.

Build the team around Moller and you're guaranteed at least 2 titles in the first 3 years.
"Does Calvin Talford have a son?"
Why would even say that?
I think the Calvin Talford comment was just a lame attempt at humour .
No malice intended PW just tries too hard.
I guess PW doesn't know how bad Talford was. Because it's a stupid comment unless he wants the JJ's to fail. Either way it's simply a stupid comment that doesn't need defending.
Talford was one hell of a dunker.
Wasn't defending PW just highlighting he is a try hard.

He could dunk for sure. Don't mention the word defence.
Those Hobart teams were entertaining in the 90s just not winners.

It will be interesting to see how much money they have to splash around.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, hey will need something like the following:
A Coach. Someone who knows the league, has a vision for the team he wants to build, and is up for the Challene of building a new franchise from the ground up.
1 x Aussie Marquee, An ex-NBA or Europe type, who likes the idea of coming back to Aus and becoming the inaugural Capitan of the New Team.
3 x Imports. Whilst guys who already know the league are a bonus, I think they'll get better value with new guys, so could be anybody.
3 x Solid Locals. Who can play from 5 to 7, and help form the core of the team going forward. Could be a mix of ex-o/s, emerging local talent looking for more opportunity, and/or young turks looking for bigger minutes than offered elsewhere.
2 x Vets. Guys to provide backup, stability, and locker-room leadership. These will be guys looking for a last hurrah after being effectively retired from other rosters.
2 x Rookies. Promising "kids" only offered DP roles elsewhere.

There's a guy who plays Div 1 Social Monday nites who goes ok, add him to list
Clearly not you. How about just keep on topic and the same for everyone else.
"At the risk of pointing out the obvious"
'pointing out the obvious' should be your username Dazz. maybe just go poto for short.

Only about half of what Dazz says is obvious. The other half is completely wrong.
