In other words for all you slow ones:
Pay me the rest of my
Contract or I am not going anywhere

Translation for if I'm gone I want $$$ paid out

Joey playing this well.

Owner could have squashed it when asked by Casey last night, but he didn't.

Owner is the one who gave Joey a 5 year deal without pegging it to any KPI’s

The Creek situation has shown the owner is the best when it comes to understanding contracts

Get him a decent assistant that is not a yes man and understands defence, Joey offensively has been excellent but his teams struggle defensively. No point backing him in for same results.

The Sixers front office doesn't have much a positive reputation so they could take one from the Matt Walsh playbook, make Joey redundant and appoint a Director of Basketball?

Defensive assistant coach pffft. But they have Jantke there holding the whiteboard!!! He knows everything.

Don't believe that nonsense for a second. We spent less than Wollongong by all reports. DJ is our highest paid guy and he would be mid tier on most NBL teams

Hodgson, Sobey and Deng all left for significant salary increases.

The same person that Joey seems to have an issue with is running around telling people what he is paying players except he is over stating their payments by 200%

You can believe what you want but go and to talk to people in the know and Sixers spend is up there. Lot of there Australian players are over paid.

I believe the people who receive the money not the person who says he is spending the money

Main Aussie contingent is on about half what they will get by leaving.

At the end of the day - it's not Joey that's putting the ball in the basket and the players need to be held responsible for the losing season this year. Joey is a good coach but needs to bust balls for non performers such as Froling that is horrendous - can't defend a 2 year old with a rubber ball, Griffin that has been great one game and horrible the next - and the list goes on.

The owner is nothing short of a tool - I firmly believe if you ditch Joey, then it's going to be at least another 2-3 season's before we get in the top 4 or close to that.

^^Correct....and one of the most stupid contracts ever handed out.

One thing we can all agree on, a 5 year contract to a coach in any professional gig is extremely stupid. Add to that the lack of incentives and you got yourself a shit storm.

LMAO @ Gleeson being in the same list as those other coaches

Kinda comparing apples with oranges don't you think?

Gleeson record in the nbl is as good as any, facts are facts.

Joey might have taken less money for a longer contract, at time owner probably thought it was a good investment, Joey happy due to a bit security.

Widely reported the owner doubled Joey's salary and gave him 5 years as well.

Welcome to the brain of a genius.

Lovebroker, perhaps those individual coaches sure. But you surely understand my point, in verbal sports terms, AFL etc it's very dumb thing to do. 3 years at a time, build culture and that carrot stays dangled to stay engaged.

It is time for people to stop making excuses and look at the facts. Joey has underachieved. His game plan does not hold up and the team is not run properly. Teys should never be staring. Kyei should not be starting, although I do like him. Even when his team finished on top, his gameplan was so flawed and they were swept out of the playoffs. He has underachieved. Just look at what Gleeson has done in Perth with a similar budget to what Joey has in Adelaide. Playoffs and championships, while we sit here making excuse after excuse and go into full on denial mode about our team, our composition, and our spending. It's time to clear house.

I keep hearing about developing talent but if the player is there then surely it's just life? The player is there and they improve because they mature? I have never heard about JOey out on the court like Goorj used to do with his players. Creek (and others) was always going to get better and he did. Saying Joey achieved that is a bit far stretched for mine.

"while we sit here making excuse after excuse and go into full on denial mode about our team, our composition, and our spending."

People, I share with you exhibit A.

"Hahaha not even close to similar budgets."

And here we have exhibit B.

How many ex NBA players and current Boomers do the 36ers have v Perth? / end

Every team has to pay up to 90% of the salary cap, I believe it's 1.5 million. Most team would be around that mark or slightly greater. It’s part the reason the comp is so close. Adelaide problem is the make up of the team, Perth get it right continuously. Even if team went 10% over the cap the difference is variable. Adelaide pay to much for some of there players that ain’t that good or Joey doesn’t develop them like most believe. Sean Bruce is a classic example just this season.

Pretty sure Teys played in the NBA

LOL these posters.

I hope they realise that Cotton is on almost 3x sixer's highest-paid import is getting.

For all joeys amazing jobs of making players better, where are they!? They all leave, no loyalty, it's about the money. Which is fine, and that’s what this is about. Pay him out need this swiftly, so they can rebuild. Any excuse of poor offseason recruiting due to this situation will not be tolerated!!!!

So you would rather have average players that stay?

Teys is probably not the problem, he's cost effective, plays with true grit and is team first guy. Griffin. Moore and to a certain extent Randle have not performed. Throw in Froling going backwards, McVeigh not much good, Johnson and Drimic being hot and cold through out the season and any coach would be in trouble.

They probably expected Froling to develop and take on a bigger role. They needed him to be their Angus Brandt but instead he became their Angus Whopper.

The question there is what the hell is the fitness coach doing????
Surely a tap on Harry's shoulder and 'hey buddy, lets do a few extra fitness sessions' wouldn't be out of order.
If everybody here can see he's out of shape, wtf is the fitness coach looking at?
Seriously, if the coach goes, the whole lot go.

Now everyones a coach and a fitness coach. Pretty sure Harry's 20?.

20 stone ?

I would be happy for you to say that to Harry personally. Maybe I should give hime a call.

Not certain Drimic will have suitors, not consistent enough, gets paid more than he's worth and if you believe anyone from his season at Dandenong causes trouble.
