Huge news for the NBL and Kings

A lot of decent signings after a stalled off-season. Clubs showing confidence in the Kestelman plan?

Huge news for the league. Kings will be great this next season, and although I dont think this sort of news is good for the 36ers, its great for the league to have highlight reel types involved as the tv situation is about to be pushed heavily into the Aus market.

he's no dellavedova but a nice signing nevertheless

Will he be bringing a mate from nba like they were trying to do at end of season last year?

The J-chillin re-signing is massive for the kings and the league.

Teams often sign "superstar" imports but rarely retain them.

J-Chill is a legit superstar import that could play anywhere, so it's a great step forward that he's chosen to come back.

Great news!

This Kings lineup is really starting to shape up. I mean I think Khazzouh and Chill will go together really well. Markovic should be great, ecspicially with Cadee behind him. Whether Jeromie Hill is playing behind Josh Childress or Tom Garlepp (Think it'll be Garlepp) I think that he will work well and help spread the floor with his three point shooting ability. Also Angus Brandt will be able to develop this year, which is exactly what he needs. Now we just have to see which import the kings pick up. I hope it's some kind of combo guard who can play both 1 and 2. Also we need a local Aussie guard that is reasonably to play behind the other import. Not SOJ. Some one that can actually do the things that a guard does... like shoot and dribble (Just saying SOJ). Also I don't know who would be good behind Josh Childress. It would have to be some one who isn't expecting a lot minutes, maybe some one from the SEABL would suit that role.
Any ways hears how I think the lineup will look

PG: Markovic/ Cadee
SG: Combo Import Guard/ Local Aussie
SF: Childress/ ?
PF: Garlepp/ Hill
C: Khazzouh/ Brandt

I can see a line up of Khazzouh, Hill and Childress at the 3 playing at times. I think Hill has the capacity to quickly move past Garlepp - only time will tell.

I agree LC, but I still think that Garlepp will start for at least the majority of this season

It might not be the rumored ex all star recruit last season but Childress might know someone he could recruit. If he can sell them on the lifestyle which he seems to love then the kings could be scary with 2 fringe nba players not some rookie straight out of college, a seabl player or a ball dominating import point guard (exception to that Iverson lol)

More good news for the NBL, halleluiah brother! If only we can get something in the print media or the TV instead of all the footy all the time??

Sorry, I sometimes climb onto a soap box about our lack of media...

this season is shaping up to be a good one.

I would expect a budget import at SG. Someone that can hit an open 3 would be nice.

Why does it need to be a budget guard. Childress can be signed for marquee money, JK will cost a bit but everyone else on that roster are not big money earners I would think. Should be able to get a top class combo if they do their homework considering it is probably the most bang for your buck position out there.

Good news for the Kings and the NBL. He is one of the best imports we have seen for a long time.

NO.... NOT WHITE.... NOT AGAIN!

Great player, great bloke

I'd be happy with Muo or even U'u to back up Chill, if we can get a gun import SG (I agree that we shouldn't really need to go budget with that import) and a good local back up guard...

Need SG now - Rotnei Clarke would be nice.

Someone like YoungAbrecombie to back up JChill.

No White please - too many turn overs and can't shoot. All players stay off him and clog up the lanes.

White will be signed by the Kings. He has been amazing for the Chargers.

Don't even joke about that...

White Has been the opposite of amazing, and if the kings don't want to have the same depth problem as they did last year they wont re-sign him. There are so many problems with his game, he can't shoot and looks scared every time he touches the ball. I understand he's great defensively but it's not worth it. If you want to be signed you can't be scared of the ball too.
So white a big no go if you want a championship contending team.

Also just because you're decent in the SEABL, doesn't mean your NBL quality

White even dropped off defensively this last season or two, after he won the team DPOTY award... He was a liability at both ends last season, I don't care if he dropped 50ppg in SEABL, he's had more than his fair amount of chances at NBL level and he's gone wanting... Even as a 10th spot player, a huge no thanks, as no doubt he will need to play more minutes than he should and all the other good recruiting will be for naught...

That's right White has not improved in 3 seasons with the Kings.

Let some other local talent have a go.

I'd only consider White if we can afford an 11 man roster, but would rather put the money into a really effective combo 1-2 guard.

Sorry Anon, if he was the same defensive player that he was when he won the team DPOTY, then I would agree with you, and did defend him (semi-pun intended) at the start of last season and the one before, but even at that end he was consistently losing his assignment and just didn't seem to have his head in the game... As a 9/10th spot player, he's done his dash and fresher talent needs to be looked at...

Gaaaak.

Sorry wrong thread but anyway

Yeah, people always wanting to recycle old players for bench roles, but unless he's stepping back from a Euro role, its a backward step for the club. Better to give the role to a young buck, who may step UP when required
