Gift it a rest, how many threads do we need on the same topic?

What all the armchair warriors fail to appreciate is that the 6s obviously believed he was contracted, and they had some basis for their claim. So who's more likely to be correct? The organisation holding the contract, or a bunch of clueless numpty's on the internet?

And I'm not sure why everyone is so quick to condemn them?
If they had a legitimate claim, why shouldn't Brooklyn pay what's appropriate?
Now, just like everyone else here, I don't know the details of Creek's contract, but if say he had a $100k buyout clause, why shouldn't it be enforced?

Not sure how you can all condemn them for being "amateurish, etc, without actually knowing the facts.

Anyway, agreement has been reached, he'll get his 5 seconds in the sun, can we please move the fuck on?

Only read headline. Crows syndrome. Why?

Can u be more specific non, my wheelchair doesnt roll that far? The club.. .or the numfys

Id assume the organization signing off on the contract. So.... afl?

Sorry ad. Im with u

Who was gun anon. Did sixers lose someone over this creek thing

Go j dub. Thee of little faith

Pg run program is all we need. Doesnt need do anything else

Olgun is a joke, according to sources. 36ers messed up. Learn from the mistake and move on. Should be working overtime ti mend with Mitch though.

I wouldn't ever be considering returning to the club that potentially could have wrecked my best shot at my life dream, ever ever!

Creek will return to Adelaide... as an opposition player IMO.

Creek will return to Adelaide as they retire his #55 jersey.... now if only the Perth Wildcats would retire their own #55 jersey

36ers behaved entirely appropriately. They are a business not a charity and clearly felt there was a binding contract with a player and they were entitled to compensation. Their goal is to win a premiership and not sponsor players for free into the nba. People need to accept this and recognise the reality of situations like this. It is not unusual and happens all over the world in every professional sport.

No and players aren't charities either so Mitch owes Adelaide nothing moving forward.
Hopefully if he returns to the NBL he plays for Melbourne or Perth.

FIBA rules dictate that Adelaide would have to have released Mitch Creek to play in Germany. His German club would then release him to play in America. The whole process was flawed and damaging to the game.

Didn't the Brooklyn Nets end up paying compensation to the 36ers? If that's the case then the Nets obviously thought they had a case.

according to both Basketball Australia and FIBA, Creek was considered a free agent. That, my friends, should give you all a hint as to what direction the negotiations went with regard to 'agreeing to terms'.

I'm with Kobe, that's initially what I thought reading the 36ers' statement for the first time: they realized in hindsight that they'd cocked this up and were trying to save face.

Maybe future compensation in the event Creek does receive a full contract is the case, but the point is nothing is guaranteed, which is a far cry from the 100k they were initially after.

As as been suggested elsewhere, by people who have a clue

@anon nice effort on the propaganda

"maybe some complications and so club took injunction just to make sure all was good." The club took an injunction against the leagues best Australian, a kid who signed with the club from high school and you think its the club that is in the right.

The same club that took action against BA and was told repeatedly it had no case against Creek yet it still went to court over it.

Every 36er fan would support you if you were in the right , but every fan knew what the outcome would be before you lawyered up. There is a process that was followed by Creek and his team and not followed by the 36ers.

If the 36ers didn't want Creek to leave they could have

a) never given him an NBA or Euro out clause
b) paid what he asked to re-sign for years to come
c) supported him at this moment knowing there is a fair chance he won't make it so come mid NBL season he may want to comeback
d) when he opted out , put an offer to him to change his mind
e) thanked him publicly for talking Wiley into signing with the 36ers despite United offering him more money

There is plenty the 36ers could have done but they chose to go play in the mud.

Damage has been done, no sense in now trying to blame the fans as well.

The Sixers turn all their contract issues over to a team of monkeys. Ask Joe Ingles.

Honestly, I've lost interest in this franchise having been a member for 25 or something years.

Its official. Creek signed. Show us the money.

@fyi - "club could have thanked him publicly for talking wiley into signing"...gee, u dont ask for much.

Wiley just knows sixers great club and great development, creek, and look what we did with Ferguson, made him. 2 nba players signed in 2 years. We dont need worry about getting best young talent going around.

Regards players its all about "me" sometimes

Guessing that means he has got a crack at least. Anyone got any info on any this or % chance for two-way. Or when time comes rely on olguns sources or his quotes from "advertiser".

Shooting hoops with JW today, hope come back to club if doesnt work out for him.

Good luck Mitch
