Pity about Rolan, probably wont see him in a Kings top again.

Im still amused by Rashad Tuckers toe injury. Maybe if he didnt keep his heart in there it wouldnt hurt so bad.

Why would you waste your time playing last night in that so called All Star game.......man that was a joke

Why injure yourself like Roberts......if i was Goorgiian .....i would be pissed off

report on ninemsn said it was Goorj's fault.
Apartently Roberts wasn't going to go in it, but goorj encouraged him.

What concerns me is that Goorj went on to say they have already contacted Luke Schenser (sp?) agent in the US as a replacement.

It also said the injury was a torn pectorial muscle while he was trying to do an elbow dunk - VC style.

Yeah, it was that VC style dunk. He pulled it off and didn't actually look to be in any pain immediately. He was warming up for the 3rd round then suddenly disappeared off court.

Rolan is actually signed for next season as well as this. I know NBL contracts are barely worth the paper they are written on, but he's been a rock for the Kings and Goorj adores him, so unless a replacement import is lightyears better, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Kings stick with him and bring him back next year.

are cracks starting to appear in the kings armour

its just a fluke accident. No one to blame, maybe he should not have stayed on the rim as long but its just one of those things. What is groves contract status at the hawks?

Does anyone know how many games you have to play to qualify to play in the finals series? It seems the Kings will have to act with lightning speed to get a replacement and have him qualify. Also how will they pay him? Aren't they committed to continue paying out Robert's contract. I can't imagine there would be too much left within the salary cap (haha).

I don't know about the salary question for sure, but I don't ever remember a team having to deal with salary issues over bringing in a replacement to an injured import, and it would have come up with some team at some point, and I can't understand why it would be done that way. I think it's different when an import is sacked (and see Brisbane trying hard for it to officialy be injury with Kevin Freeman), but I can't imagine injury would be that way. Import or any player.

EC, a replacement needs to play 7 games. Kings have 10 games left, and 3 of those are played in the next 10 days, so they'll need to be pretty quick.

Schenscher is top of the Kings' shopping list apparently.

I would be very surprised if Schensher went to the kings after Goorj did not pick him for the Olympics. Didn't go to well the fact that he didn't make the team because he hadn't played enough big time games. i guess the College system is just a mickey mouse competition.

There must be financial issues if the Kings can't sign someone who's not good enough to cut it in the Boomers squad.
Kings accountants will pull something out of their ar$e$, don't worry about that.

Are we having a go at Schensher DD? Just because he wasn't picked doesn't mean hes not good enough.

Hey Bob Knight-- What about Dix to save Sydney if 36ers do not need him?
