That is pretty wow, easily the best player on the court for the JJs maybe he rubbed Roth the wrong way one too many times?

Reasonable they let him go. He wasn't in the same tier of talent as the top 5 in the league. Averaged 16ppg for the season. He'd be a great second import but as the JJ number one scorer they needed someone in a higher class to win the GF.

It's not difficult to read between the lines on this. Adams would've no doubt wanted a pay rise probably a substantial one and Roth likely has some say in who the JJ's sign and probably said no thanks we can probably get the same production for the money we were paying Adams, which becomes the coach didn't want him back.

My own "wow". I wrote before, and I repeat, Bullets?

Reckon the truth is somewhere between what Roth has said and what Adams has said.

Why would any fans go out of their way to attack JA on his insta?

Even if he did leave for money, is that a frickin' sin? He only has one maybe 2 big contracts left at 28.

Can't JJ fans be thankfully for literally taking them to the GF?

Talk to the right people & it was a forgone conclusion some time ago... #culture

Totally agree Lovebroker however if you read the instagram post - the fan was not having a crack; was asking a genuine question.

Total respect for Josh Adams.

Professional sports doing what professional sports.

Roth is a smart operator, I can't believe I’m saying that but he knows what he’s doing. You pay what you think the player is worth and I’d say Adams want more so bye bye.

There's nothing to see here other than a new fanbase needing to get used to how pro basketball works.

At the same time, can’t begrudge them falling for Adams after his playoff heroics.

I love this thread.

Adams: "It wasn't because of money."
Everyone on here: "Obviously it was about money."

From what I heard from somebody who knows jorrick chivers adams was made two offers from the jack jumpers which he declined . they then decided to move on wanting to finalise there roster a couple of days prior to announcing the Doyle signing apparently adams came back to the club wanting to negotiate with the club again they had already committed to Doyle though so that's we’re it ended . So to say adams was not wanted buy the club or Roth is not exactly accurate

Makes sense it's a business and despite his talent he missed the boat. I am hoping the replacement is an upgrade. He had an outstanding finals series but was n't outstanding during the full season.

Well it was about the money, JJs could not match what he wanted and went elsewhere.

Exactly, Dunkman. Adams thinks he's worth that much so tells himself that the JJs didn't want him, whereas they did for what they felt was the right price.

The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

He thinks he's gonna get better offers to rejects the JJs.

Better offers don't come so he goes back to them and perhaps willing to take their earlier offer but they've moved on. He goes to a rival for the same money he would have gotten at JJs.

So for him he feels vindicated in saying it wasn't about the money.

Josh Adams has put out a further message via Instagram regarding the "incorrect speculation and lies" around his JackJumpers departure #NBL23 pic.twitter.com/PVuiDF1n80

^ That tweet above from JA says seems to attempt to address the incorrect speculation and lies, then proceeds to say nothing about / address the speculation and lies.

Has signed for a team in Slovenia
