My team

1.Bruce ,Davidson.
2.Ng,Hill,Ingles
3.Import,Holmes
4.Ballinger
5.Schensher,Burston.

One Import this year,small forward of South Dragons imports of Tremmell or Smith.

What about Kersten?

I don't think Davidson will continue - blog post

Davo will only retire if the league doesn't play a season this year. Otherwise I suspect he'll go around one more time.

I'd be amazed if Schensher is still here in 09/10.

I'll also be extremely happy to have Ng back. Will Oscar still be under contract to the Breakers?

Can't see Jingles ever playing for the 6ers - too much bad history. And he'll either get drafted or follow Newley to Europe IMO.

Rush went to Europe didn't he? Why would he come back?

As someone said, Sav we stick with the Hawks. My understanding is his wife needs to stay in NSW anyways.

Very little point in bringing in Gibson when you've already got Bruce - you're just gonna take mins off each of them and slow their development.

Realistically i expect to see a very similar team to last season with Maher replaced by Ng & an import, and some doubt over Schnscher returning.

So Possibly:

Davo/Bruce/Burdon
Import/Ng
Hill/Holmes
Ballinger
Schenscher/Hoban (or any other big man they can get)

If Schenscher goes then look to replace him with the import slot.

Breakers have been looking at poaching Schensher and/or Ballinger

julius hodge, screw the rest

Hopefully Ballinger and Schenscher can be retained.
Ng for Maher. Donta Smith would be good.
Mark Lewis comment on ch9 news was that they won't pay as much as last season,and there are extra players available to pick from.

( I guess it's kinda up to Adam and Luke re lifestyle,here for a reasonable pay, or take higher offers)

Lets think - Maher has retired - Captain, shooting guard. Reckon I'd look seriously at Rillie, therefore.

Hilly has shown enough last season to put pressure on that spot. He was one of the leader scorers off the bench and there were games when he put his hand up.

Yes, he may start as SG next season, but not because daddy says so

Obviously the Sixers passed over Ingles and made a mistake, but is that all there is to 'the bad history' between Ingles and the Sixers? Or is there more to it than that? Can anyone explain what went on and why we missed out on both Ingles and Newley?

With our team next year, absolute #1 priority should be to ink Schenscher to a multi-year contract. Obviously there is a good chance that he will go elsewhere, but I hope the Sixers put up their best offer early, so they know either way.

Ballinger would be a pretty high priority as well. Then hopefully Bruce wants to stick around and we can bring Ng back onboard too.

You'd think Hill and Holmes will almost certainly be back, so probably pencil them in too. I hope that Holmes becomes more of a backup PF too, rather than a SF, because he is too slow, and not a good enough shooter. Then bring in an import SF and give Hill the backup mins at that position as well as time at SG.

As long as we can keep Schenscher, I hope we can get a 2nd import and go for a PG - Bruce doesn't seem ready to start yet for a top team. If not, then we might be forced to try and find an import centre, which would be expensive and difficult.

So hoping for:

Schenscher Young SA big to develop
Balls Holmes
Import SF Hill
Hill Ng
Import PG Bruce

Any of Ingles' beef with Adelaide would be with those in the past - there's since been a fairly broad clean out.
