Wow.
Some big Australian Basketball news coming in the next "few" days.
Neutral face
anybody know what he may be talking about?
Bogut to play for SBL wolfpack.
Perthworld to get a very sore wrist celebrating the news.

Could be to do with no NBA Australian players attending next years Olympics.
No NBA players from any country for that matter

Delly leaving the NBA and returning to the NBL.

Returning to Australia to play in the NBL, I mean.

It could be Weaver getting the Pelicans head coaching job
What's with all this talk of Delly coming to the NBL.
I think it’s safe to say he’s got at least another 2-3 years left in the NBA as a backup (or 3rd stringer) before finishing up in the NBL.

Yeah I think, if he wants it, Delly will have opportunities with teams being a minimum contract end of bench vet who's a great locker room presence.
Having said that, I could easily see him deciding to not play NBA this coming season so that he's available for the Olympic team. If he does that though his NBA career would likely be over. But who knows.

Easy to say Delly doesn't need to wrk again with 40Odd Mill in contract earnings but he has given half that back in Taxes so in pockt its closer to 20Mil USD so saying know to another significant paycheck for the next couple of years to come and play in the NBL next year seems crazy.
One more year in the NBA will yield more than 4 years in the NBL plus do we know if the NBL will go ahead with the two Melbourne Teams in lockdown? Assume players will take an even bigger hair cut with no crowds.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Dellly stays with the Cavs for another 5+ years - they love him & he’s the ultimate professional. For a team in rebuild with the young guards they have hes the perfect veteran you want in the team. Similar to the veteran role Udonis Haslem has with the Heat.

Dellavedova would still be a top tire NBL player.
I'd guess it’s got something to do with the Australian team, maybe he’s going to take the Luke Longley role as mentor.
on nbl overtime they did say the kings were chasing a ex nba player

On the NBL Facebook page, they are talking about Weaver to possibly coach the Pelicans.
So I would guess that's what it is

Probably explains the neutral face emoji thing from him too, happy for him to get an NBA job but means the Kings have to find another new coach.
I told y'all. Need to listen to me I know things
