Good for the 36ers and the league.

THE deal is done and it's official. Jerome Randle will be back with the Adelaide 36ers for the 2016-17 NBL season.

The club on Thursday formally will announce the successful conclusion of its negotiations with 175cm dynamo Randle, who is currently competing in Europe for Lithuanian powerhouse and Euroleague stalwart Kaunas Zalgiris.

His return gives coach Joey Wright a starting point from which to revamp his team which already retains the services of Daniel Johnson, Anthony Petrie, Mitch Creek, Brendan Teys, Nathan Sobey and Matt Hodgson.

Awesome, he was so fun to watch this season.

I feel like I bullied him into that. haha

Praise be!!!

"It's a one-year deal and I have to give credit to the (36ers) board for pulling the resources together to get this done," Wright said.

This makes me warm in the trouser.

Going by Joey's comment about the club, I think they've made a stretch decision to get this over the line. Good on them. Hopefully it pays off. Add two imports to Randle and the signed locals and that should be an entertaining team. Actually, Sobey, Creek, Walker and Johnson would be up there for dunking potential as a foursome.

If the 36ers couldn't afford him, IMO LK should've topped up the funds to make it happen. Strongly in his interests to have drawcard players on every team.

Any reason for the 1 year deal? Finances, Randles choice, any one know?

Will they have enough cash to sign Ebi for another season?

Isaac, going by that, you think Walker is likely to come back ? If so, good.

Great news! Well done sixers! Now, ill book my season tickets!!

It seems like maybe Randle and 36ers are hoping Adelaide can use this season to sure up finances to pay Randle more following years. This is the first time in a long time we've had an import for more than a year.

C Johnson/Hodgson
F Import/Petrie
F Creek/Walker?
G Import/Teys
G Randle/Sobey

Can this dribble wait until after the real teams fight out in the main dance over the next 6 days please. TIA.

If Ere stays in shape, I honestly wouldn't have a problem if they re sign him as long as he is on realistic money. Assuming randle is on 300k there couldn't be a huge amount left in the budget for the rest of the signings.

As an estimate with 7 guys signed we have to be pushing 800k already. Unless we are willing to use the marquee and go over the mill, that really doesn't leave much for probably a starting Guard and atleast 1 quality big.

Wouldn't mind:

Johnson/Hodgson
Import?/Petrie
Creek/Ere?
Madgen?/Teys
Randle/Sobey

I don't know what sort of money madgen and ere would want but if we could get them for 150k combined plus an import PF or Centre for around 150k I think they would compete next year and should make money if the crowds show!

Hey copter, how's United and your boy toy CG43 going?

United crumbled when it mattered.
CG43 wasn't the most disappointing.
Maybe next year?

There's 4 marquee players next year. Which is stupid might as well not have a cap.

KET there is no real cap. The only cap is on 5 players of the team.

As for Randall, great move. But I am also wondering why only one year?

Can this dribble wait until after the real teams fight out in the main dance over the next 6 days please. TIA.

You not capable of discussing more than one thing at a time? You do realise how chat boards work right?

Apparently Adam Gibson is definite for Brisbane now. I am fine with that. Call me when you actually DO something on court, Adam.

Randle in, Gibson out.
Dream result for the 36ers.

Euro out clause apparently, probably in case he can impress enough to land a monster contract that would be too hard to ignore.

Zalgiris PG Jerome Randle signed contract with Adelaide 36ers for the next season but has OUT clause so still can stay in Europe next year

"Fantastic news until the midget goes down with an injury.

Ladies and gentleman, we have our moron.

so basically, he's not even signed anything! Just a "promise".
which, as we know, means almost nothing.
