Wasn't Shane Heal an ex NBA player?

IM TALKING ABOUT A MUCH BIGGER NAME WELL KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

BADASSMOFO there is such thing as a salary cap in the NBL! No exceptions for players like in the A-League!

Well well just have to work around the cap all the successfull teams know how to cook the books.I think its a cop out to say it cant happen.LOOK the dragons had a former USA player Ex nba allstar to coach B4,so why cant the get a has been BIG NAME player to come here to play for his final year of his career.you guys a knocking a quality idea.its time to think outside the circle.

Sorry to upset you 170568, but Voldemort will be coaching interstate next season and, baring NBA intervention, J.H. will be with him.

If you're a big name NBA player in the twilight of your career do you:

a) try and get that elusive NBA ring as a back up on an NBA roster while making US$5 million + per season

or

b) play in Europe and make ¬5 million + per season

or

c) try and win a ring in some little league on the other side of the world making less than 1/10th what you'd be on in the big show

Remember Price had no coaching experience before he came out and also that a coach's salary is not included in the cap - using Price as a precedent for getting a big name player is not realistic.

Sorry to put out your fire but logistically it's not going to happen.

lok out FELLAS , big Maxxy Walker is coming at ya . Sorry big name BADASSMOFO nicely put together but
winning next year may be a bit more important than stringing some high octane sentences together to pull one out the roost , good luck to ya , your sure gonna need it . shee a shoon you slippery little shizzbich . sure beats the hell out of beating the hell out of it .

They don't need a big name player...they needed to get rid of Heal, and they did it 1 and 4/5 seasons too late.

LAWLZ @ this thread....

JUDGING from the feedback im getting here it seems billo thinks i should throw this idea into the too hard basket.i still think my idea has merit,is anyone prepared to back my call??

That we should bring in a big name NBA player? No one is arguing with you there, it would be great. But which big name NBA player do you think will:
1)Want to come down here instead of playing in the NBA, and then....
2)Would do it for < $250k?

And just BTW, the Cowan decision wasn't the 'BIGGEST MISTAKE in the history of nbl bball', from pretty much all accounts, the guy wasn't delivering and most were OK with the decision.

How about you ask your beloved dragons to stop clutching at straws by going after every gimmick in the book, and just get in the right players to do the job and just focus on winning games ?!

Go after Dennis Rodman again baby. He'll definitely fill up an arena love him or hate him. People will be curious to see him up close. They almost did it pre-season as a 1 game guest player.

Hakeem Olajuwon could be fit to go again?

the sacking of first coach mark price-BIGGEST MISTAKE in the history of nbl bball

hell yeah isaac thats what im talkinABOUT

I was disagreeing with you. Sacking Price was the right move - from what every insider has said, he wasn't very good at all.
