Culture of thugs and whingers?

Yet Melbourne still hasn't paid a cent for blowing the cap by 2 to 3 million

"Good to see him choose Adelaide over Melbourne"

Maybe Melbourne have someone better lined up.

^ sorry but I'm not a Melbourne supporter just stating my opinion.

Are you bitter over last Yeats grand final result.

Of course Adelaide supporters are bitter over last years GF, Sobeys ejection was ridiculous and changed the result of that game IMO. Couple that with (likely - i have no proof) Melbourne exceeding the soft salary cap and their owner also being the NBLs owner (I assume LK would not have this be the case by choice, however facts remian).

If the Melb supporters would gladly refraim from posting rubbish on this feed that'd be great.

I really like this signing, seems to have many of the skill sets we required having lost Chill and Creek + adds shooting skills for a big. Drimic and Deng will likely get many more minutes this season, import PG will need to be very good for sixers to be in top few again IMO.

Import/ Doyle
Sobey/ Teys
Moore/ Drimic/ Mcveigh
Wiley/ Deng
DJ/ Froling

A lineup that suits Joeys style.

Well that escalated quickly.

How does a thread about a new import for ADL (a nice piece of exciting news) turn into MEL Vs ADL?

Yes we all know Melbourne had a lot of luck and good fortune in winning that GF series but it's over with now and no point going on about it anymore. You can't take back the Sobey ejection or magically make Childress healthy again.

It's a shame Childress isn't coming back but that's over with now I just hope we don't sign Deleon or re-sign Teys.

Welcome to city of adelaide or as the rest of australia call it the donald trump of Australia

Australia is the Adelaide of the Western World.

We're all Adelaiders.

Geez. Why are United fans so bitter...

Aren't we glad there is only one Melbourne team. Anymore and the league would be a joke on an international scale like the AFL.

"Are you bitter over last Yeats grand final result."

Yes, he should have won it instead of Eliot.

@ shayno, did you not learn your lesson after starting the topic 'dumb NBA trades'? Not sure if you're a troll, have little social interation with humans or enjoy drinking your own bathwater. Irrespective, give it a rest, particularly the attempted comedy.

Sixers look OK depending on point guard.
Should be top 5 easily.

If we had a top tier PG then i dont see why we couldnt compete for the Title again.

i think Wiley will be great.

I hope Melb dont get Conger.

Will be tough to replace what Creek brought to the team. I think last year he moved past Damian Martin as the most important ingredient to the way his team plays. If they get a good PG they'll still be around the mark, but I think Adelaide take a small step backwards this year.

Take your money, put it on Melbourne v Sydney in the grand final.

The NBL's perception has been and continues to be "that's what's best for Australian basketball".

Look out they added Teys to the roster get your money on the dirty sixers they are loaded people

I don't understand the Teys signing.

Only viable explanation is having so much less money to spend than the Eastern Cap Killers.

Lol at the saltiness in this thread

Just signed a quality import and it's all whining! Ha. Says a lot.

5 of 8 NBL teams are *probably* way over the soft cap, including one that didn't even make the playoffsbut hey, why would that stop us from claiming it's all some grand Larry led conspiracy!?

@hawky u are too funny. I stand by the dumb trades which were caused by signing players to dumb contracts. Teams that salary dump are embarrassing.

I will keep starting topics regardless. My next one will be about how salty people are on this forum and how butthurt 36ers fans still are.

Drink my own bath water is funny as many people dont take baths these days.

Also if i was a troll i would of went at koberulez, manu fieldel or zodiac by now???

Lastly i think ur the troll as saying "melb exceeded the cap" etc is more comedy than i can ever produce. Please get over brett maher retiring and stop living in the past.

So you are of the opinion melbourne did not exceed the cap? do you have any proof of this?

Koberulz - you're as dumb as your name sounds if you don't clearly see Melbourne blew way over the soft cap. Or just ignorant.

Melbourne would have paid Prather 300,000, Ware 300,000 and Boone around 200,000. Thats enough right there! Then throw CGs confirmed 300k in....

Yeah no blowing the soft cap here Koberulez. Keep believe everyone on that roster was paid 100,000.

Melb shouldn't be able to afford Conger and Ware... both asking for huge coin. Oh wait. Their owner owns the league

Of course they didnt blow the cap. Boone wouldn't of been that expensive.

Any more excuses?

Next u will be saying childress was on 700k.

Conger and ware prob could get 400k each but as vickerman wants more of a harder bodied prather but for a cheap price.

Plus melb dont need 3 imports any ways.

If anything, Wiley looks like he has a similar game to Boone, and Adelaide had little or no answer to him last year.
So it's a good move to cover that gap.
