Why 2 year extension?

Terrible run with injuries and other issues, so extension gives him another chance.

But surely 1 year to build and see how he goes.

Webster & Abercrombie are signed and I believe the club wants to extend Delaney and are talking to at least one of the imports about coming back.

I would bring back Henry & Hopson and look to upgrade on Brandon Ashley.
Too foul prone although if the other Breakers could stay in front of their opposition player he wouldn't have to leave his man as often to help and wouldn't give up as many fouls and offensive rebounds. Loe is having just as many foul issues with the way NZ's D has been.

Henry / Weeks
Webster / Rusbatch
Hopson / Abercrombie / Ngatai
Delaney / (replacement for Majok)
Import / Loe / Vodanavich

mystro - will Webster want to stay, given the reports about him wanting out just prior to the start of this season, and NZ saying 'no'? Or is that now all sorted and he's happy to stay?

*Head of Basketball Operations Dan Shamir

How long does a role have to be redundant before you can employ someone using the same (old) title?

We all know he is the coach and it sounds odd in commentary for them call him anything but 'coach'.

I don't understand why they bothered with that nonsense.
If Brasswell wanted to claim unfair dismissal, I doubt any court (even in NZ) would be fooled

Despite everything I still can't believe they had the gall to make a head coaching role redundant on a professional sports team.

Webster is under contract for next season and behaving like a pro after the was denied a release.
I believe he's happy in NZ.

Deng was a injury replacement for Loe Anon, he was released once Loe returned.

Wow!
What a joke, the train wreck continues......

This smacks of a cosmetic "Look! we're steadying the train from going further downhill" in a vain attempt to stop potentially losing sponsors and support for next season.

^This is the correct answer. Makes a change from extending Abercrombie I guess.

... or promoting the towel boy to GM.

At least NZ don't accuse their opposition of stealing when their staff hand out drinks

Fotu would start at PF taking minutes from Delaney and stunting his further development.
Fotu would also be on decent money.
A Webster Brothers front court would be fun to watch.

All the players seem to like Shamir and his assistant (at least publicly), time to start building some continuity within the club.

NZ aren't spending what Sydney and Melbourne throwing around.
Have you seen Shamir play Vodanavich anywhere else this season?
He isn’t quick enough to guard most 4’s but strong enough to body up on 5’s.

If Fotu came back it would be in place of Ashley I would imagine.

I don't think anyone really does. I reckon the best chance of him playing NBL was at Melbourne when Henare was there.

TBH I would be surprised if Tai Webster came back to NZ as well, I think him and Isaac are enjoying their time in Europe and earning great money.

The reports I've seen in the NZ media suggest he was on a 2-year deal and that the club have only exercised their extension option on his third year (taking him to 2022).

If that's the case, exercising the 3rd year option so early is another mess up by Walsh;

You don't exercise a player's third year option halfway through Year 1; so why do it to a player?

The whole club is one of the most poorly run professional sports teams I've ever seen.
