It would surprise me if they say that Northern Territory are getting a team with games divided between Darwin (predominantly) and Alice Springs.

More surprising would be new team out of the Australian Antarctic Territory.
The Penguins.

NBL to be shown on SBS. This thread is a month old.
Wildcats will announce import signing.....a little bit of a surprise due to article in West Australian suggesting they were going to wait.
Import is a centre, athletic who is very strong around rim.
Not many spots left. Who still needs players?
Sem is full

Perth to cop an emotional blow on this one. People with either be meh about it or upset.
For those that don't know....that is Ricky Grace's son.
Surely a club signing a 25yo training player isn't worth all that hype...
Lachy has said there will be two more announcements coming, one which will be a very big "wow".
Perhaps a big name leaving or retiring?
I don't think it would be a big name leaving, doesn't feel like the kind of thing you'd hype and keep your eyes on
Surely it's the Sydney PF. Seems there's a huge whole in their roster waiting to be filled.

Reid says 2 announcements. On a scale he rates first as medium then the second announcement as HIGH. !!
Interesting.
Mystery continues

"surprise roster announcement pending"
Still waiting for the "surprise" bit
Lachy Reid believes a 5man that won't even be top 3 big in the league is a surprise?? What is wrong with that guy??
he had two announcements coming one medium what is the signing of Dario Hunt and a high announcement that could be
a player leaving, NS or naturalised

Who has places left, and what would constitute a surprise?
Breakers have 2 spots (likely a Center and pf)
Cairns have 2 spots (pg and sg or pf)
Kings have 1 spot (maybe a pf)
The kings were saying they were keeping an import spot open, there next stars is already on an nba list so it's like three imports already. Probably smart move to keep import spot as Bogut and Ware are only replaceable by another import.
Machado / Kenny / Nelson
Import / Djeric / Kernich-Drew
Noi / Mayen / Jurlina
Deng / Jois / Krslovic
Oliver / Jawai / Jervis
Cairns look like^
Take out 2 guys
He implied that the next surprise will be smaller than today's news

Can someone please tweet him the definition of surprise:
surprise
noun
1An unexpected or astonishing event, fact, etc.
'the announcement came as a complete surprise'
I mean, it was a big shock that no one saw coming. But not sure it feels like a 'surprise' though. Surprise to me kind of implied something good especially the way he said his "eyes were on the NBL" for it

If that was the surprise, then Lachy Reid's dickhead card has been validated.
I really did think Cotton would get naturalized. Cotton would be the number 1 point guard for the Boomer not counting the NBA boomers
