Been hearing rumours that Deshon Taylor will join Sydney Kings as Kevin Lisch's replacement but he will stay as they do have an import spot remaining. Any truth to that ?
If not I think he would be a great replacement for Braun or Singler at the Bullets. I really rated his game and feel like Adelaide really screwed him but i can see why they did it.

If they did that, they'd have Ware/Lisch/Newley/Tate/Bogut starting, with Louzada, Taylor, Moller, Kickert and Bruce as their 10 man rotation.
That would be ridiculous
The kings budget is not what it was once was so I'd say highly unlikely.
^^^^
Lol why would a contracted player take a pay cut, certainly when there 4 zero and Lisch has missed two games already.

Senior Sydney Kings players have taken pay cuts in a bid to play under new coach Will Weaver and win a championship alongside former NBA big man Andrew Bogut before he retires. Skipper Kevin Lisch and fellow veterans Brad Newley and Daniel Kickert have all sacrificed cash

It reads like they took pay cuts before the season started not now:
"Sydney Kings stars (l-r) Brad Newley, Kevin Lisch and Daniel Kickert have all taken pay cuts to remain at the franchise. Lisch had opportunities to join the South East Melbourne Phoenix and the Illawarra Hawks during the off-season but decided to take less and re-commit to the Kings."
(Lol why would a contracted player take a pay cut, certainly when there 4 zero and Lisch has missed two games already.)
I don't know ask them lol

There's a blessing in the storm

Deshon Taylor twitter also had highlights of the blitz 20th had pen to paper
Yes I didn't see that: nice
Is he still in Australia?
Doesn't seem right fit for the kings as Lisch cover, better getting a young Australian in and saving their coin in case Bogut goes down.
Sydney have no reason to replace Lisch. Doing fine without him and bringing someone in who plays minutes will just mess things up.
If it is the bullets that's not having a lot faith in Sobey or Cadee.

If you wanna win, taking less money shows how much you're bought in !
So you brining a point guard to back up Casper, doesn't make sense to me.
