I hope he alienates his coach and fans at the same time!

DUNIGAN

Dunigan did just get cut in us right?

Illawara actually have 10 points left for an import?

Does Rhys Martin still get a discount for loyalty, because he left the club, I would trust the discounts do not apply to Martin.

Drop White and Demos and get someone worth while.

Clarke!

I heard that James Spencely was a bit flustered after the Hawks slow start in round 1 that he wants to bring in an import.

I know who he actually that is not his name his name is Issac Turner he is living with my friend-brother

Rhys Martin would never be able to lead them to Game 3 of a grand final series as the starting point guard. Oh wait...

It's amazing how little respect some fans give Rhys but players and coaches know he's close to the best director of offence in the league.

Lol, sorry for some reason I posted as anon but #735 was me

he is Issac Turner he is good and plays at the point/shooting guard he works hard 100% he trains with the tean

Is that the guy from St Vincent NCAA3? Finished two seasons ago and averaged 22p and 3a?

Yes

With Lisch reportedly out for at least the next two games and Rhys for maybe 3-4 more it's probably not a bad move. I wonder how quick they can have him cleared. Do they know anyone at league HQ?

This will be good if it's true, but I can't imagine that after what happened last season, Bevo would have not had something like a "Spenceley can't muck around with my damn players!" clause in his contract? It's not like he was the desperate one in the deal?

Wouldn't be a bad idea as an injury replacement considering Martin and Lisch are out but Spenceley shouldn't be panicking at 0 - 2 considering their injuries

Slow start? What did he expect? The rest of the league is stacked. These results are exactly as expected.

And the starting backcourt is out injured.

For what it's worth, according to the NBL, Martin is still able to get the player loyalty discount as he didn't actually sign anywhere else once he left the Hawks...

Daniel Johnson gets it for Adelaide doesn't he, because he has played for them every season for five and didn't play anywhere else in the NBL, even though he played overseas for half a season?

Would be silly unless any injuries are long term. On the road, against two teams considered finals material with two of their most key players out.

"Why is Spencely still even involved? Last person I would have again after last years debacle."

Because he is the owner. It was a debacle last year but who is going to tell him he can't do what he wants with his team?

If you have the money why not add an import? Another wing that can play a little small ball 4 would be nice - Cover for the two old dudes, Forman and Penney. Plus I like Lisch running the point. Lisch, Penney, Import, Forman, Ogilvy, Coenraad playing big minutes off bench - sounds nice to me.

They played good basketball across both games.

3 of their first 4 games are away. They could well be 0-4, but the question is how long will Lisch and Martin be out?

I am seeing Issac Turner tonight

any questions?

Kings Boy, I would ask him what his plans are apart from Illawarra.
Maybe they will, but I would very much doubt that they would pick up a 6'2" import out of the Waratah league.
Especially when you consider the MVP of SEABL got cut from Adelaide.
Bevo is very loyal to his players and I you think that he would probably bring in one of his past players if they were looking at anyone.
Also considering how they dismantled the Breakers without Lisch I think they are ok.
If I was Bevo I would be looking at possibly another inside target to give AJ a break.
Possibly Ray Turner who had a monster year in the WA SBL.
