Great news for Brisbane.

Is Vic Law confirmed?

If it's the best versions of Sobey, Patterson and Law turning up, then that would be a decent team. How serious was Law’s injury?

i don't think duren comes dowb

vic law wouldn't be cheap for brissy

Hopefully it doesn't take him 2/3rds of the season to get in shape. 4th times a charm?

I was just thinking yesterday what are the Bullets doing about Patterson and here we are.

Very good news for the Bullets and I must admit I really do like watching him play. Hopefully by staying in Brisbane during the offseason he's able to start the season in decent shape.

Now if the Bullets are able to re-sign Vic Law and Hodgson they're starting to look quite good.

They can't sign hodgson unless they get rid of krebs.

Great News for Brisbane KFC and Domino's.

"They can't sign hodgson unless they get rid of krebs."


"Okay I didn't realise they had signed all their local players quota, I assumed Hodgson was holding them out for a better deal or something"

Who have I missed, I only count 7 locals.

Yeah, and as he is playing in NBL1 North for the Southern Districts Spartans, chances are he is ready for pre-season, early, in game-shape, and for the whole season. Fantastic news.

With Moss, and now Patterson as imports, Bullets are still missing a gun PG and a starting centre with just 1 import spot available.

Available? What about Vic Law, still un-signed, I believe. Do you sign him or was it a case of Patterson or Law, for HC Duncan(keeping the 3rd import spot for a PG or C)?

Hard to imagine a better choice than Law but is he what this Bullets team needs for 2022?

They've got 8 locals and 2 imports signed, one spot left can be import or local.

"They've got 8 locals"

Who did I miss, have they recently announced someone?

I only count 7: Drmic, Spudee, Scoobi, Deng, Krebs,Harrison and Salt.
Who did I miss?

Sobey, Cadee, Wigness, Krebs, Drmic, Deng, Harrison, Salt.

I thought Wigness was a Next Star?

Nup

This team won't win anything while they are playing Sobey as a PG

I think anonymous #478 #486 are the same person. Sneaky bugger is definitely a huge Bullets fan.

I honestly cannot see any improvement on paper from last year... 2 years ago it would have been one of the best, but what can you honestly hope for from post Zinger stacker meal Patterson?

Even adding Vic Law again won't improve at all on last years team. Missing out on McCarron must have made them scramble abit.

Idk about Moss but wouldn't he be on the same level as Manny Malou? Don't know how NBL1 compares to the NZNBL.

IF Lamar returns to the way he was before the junk food binge, IF Sobey plays the way he did last year, IF Vic Law has another terrific year post-injury, IF the new additions thrive in a new environment, IF the team gels - then for sure they will make the top 4 but honestly it would be a safe bet now to count them out of it.

Does the contract include a skinfold clause?

Patterson's played 2 games of NBL1.

Trajectory not good. If he couldn't get in shape last season why would he now?

I guess he's only 29 so we'll see

Patterson has all the skills and talent to be one of the best players in the comp, unfortunately he's never got himself in elite shape. I actually felt disappointed for the Breakers last year, bloke started the season looking like he was about 20kgs over stocked.

So two questions and I know you'll say that I'm jumping the gun but how much longer would Patterson need to be here to apply for citizenship ad this is his 4th season isn't it? Surely this signing is somewhat of a look to the future and how they could sign another import spot with him as a local

What would it take for him to have his #13 retired at the Brisbane Bullets, another 5 seasons with say another 3 All NBL team appearances?

"he isn't that good to get his jersey retired"

Do you have to fit in your jersey to have it retired?
