Hopefully #3 was just "Hey Andrew, u know any good coaches?"
Yes I've heard Naar might leave, his an option contract, his or clubs, don’t know. How many clubs would chase an Australian point guard. Perth perhaps but Gleeson loves quality defence which is not Naar’s greatest strength.
Naar to Melbourne, plus import and Giddey and mccarron.
Ili bigger money somewhere else.
cam luke asked Corey About Isaiah Thomas about coming to the NBL 2020 21 season, has anyone heard anything or is it just shit talk
Well Gaze had amazing success with a low budget team before. Sydney never been quite the same since. Can't wait for the shuffle offence to come to town.
Let me guess Adelaide think Warrick's son will play for dads mate.
"Adelaide have spoken to Andrew Gaze about the head coach vacancy" PLease, please sign him.
Lol yes Waxy had stomach virus, he's good to go now
Forde or Nielsen would be good choices, but all the coaching and fitness team need overhauling. Who's likely to want to go there, like Illawarra it’s got some average players with not that many available.
Why would anyone ask Corey Williams about anything?

Gaze be perfect. Huge profile and surely second time around far more experienced. His commentary has shown vast maturity in reading games match ups and defensive structures.

When first asked why choosing the NBL, Josh Giddey mentioned his family. They live in Melbourne, right?

Weeks to hopefully re-sign with NZ and TeRangi to return home possibly.

Fearne on a way too good wicket in japan to leave.
Im hearing gaze to Adelaide as well.
Might b good culture change coach than results based then bring in the prodigal son to return!
Anyone that thinks Gaze can coach is deluded. Just ask anyone from the Kings.

Or NZ re Giddey.
Gaze did mention that Adelaide are in the mix for an NBA free agent during a game he was commentating.
Assuming its an Aussie player??

TeRangi has played like a bum for Brissy perhaps he remembers how to play basketball if he goes back to NZ
Terangi won awards in Brisbane, only this season was he recruited over the top of and bounced towards DNP CD's

Giddy to Sydney ...close enough for him to visit family but far enough away so they can't just drop in. Clearly Sydney coaches develop players and there is really only one coach with a ton of NBA contacts for the following year.
He'd be smart staying in Melbourne with his family, makes all the mundane parts life easier.
"Clearly Sydney coaches develop players"
Which Sydney coach(es)?

Smyth
...only issue there is who is going to do the nitty gritty mundane coaching stuff?

You'd hope that Adelaide would pull out all stops to sign Rob Beveridge to the coaching vacancy, his ability to develop young players and connect with veterans would be good for the 36ers.
I expect Adelaide may push to sign Delly as he appears likely to be on his last NBA run this season.
Gaze is a great commentator and I hope he stays in that spot, especially so we get to hear his unashamed bias when commentating the Boomers games in Tokyo.
If Martin retires I would expect Perth to have a very good look at Naar, Perth were looking hard at him when Norto came on the market.
Nick Kay is no lock to return to Perth next year as his value in Europe may never be higher, he has purchased a property in Perth though so don't expect that he will go elsewhere in Australia.
Plumlee appears a big chance to remain in Perth beyond this season.

Where's the rumours/evidence of Plumlee staying at Perth coming from?
We might see an increase of interest from more ex nba players next season. Who will want to play in China or Europe next season?
Will they risk bat flu (cgvi-4320)? The Olympics are under a viral cloud as well.
Lachy did a feature news piece on Plumlee. Asked him about playing next season. Plumlee said he'd love to/wants to.

Giddey isn't going to the NBA. Stop it
NBA scouts disagree with you
If Martin retires, would the Wildcats go hard at getting Delly? He'd be a perfect replacement
Naar an ex AIS teammate and good mate of sem owner Dante. Would've thought that might be a look but might be too guard heavy with adnam, Gibbo and assuming a new import pg
Naar doesn't suit the defensive issues that SEM have got. Would suit good with adnam if they get a couple defensive wings. Import 5 and 2 and keep an import up your sleeve. Wesley, Pineau in the 4, get a back up 2, madgen, and best Aussie three available.
Giddey will go to Melbourne, loeliger said teams without next stars this year will get preference.
That means Adelaide, Perth, brisbane, cairns
Imo
Cairns, wigness, where his from.
Brisbane, king, where his from.
Melbourne, Giddey, where his from.
Adelaide, top American pick they can get,
Perth, next best NS.
Santamaria said that SEM wouldn't be picking up Madgen’s team option for year 2?

Plumlee will sign a two year contract with Perth. Cotton to get his citizenship as we've sent a urgent processing request to the Immigration Department.
Andrew Gaze did a interview on the abc news today and it slipped out that Tasmania is going to get a team 2022 season.
New news Hopson to play in the g league with okc this season.
Most euro clubs competitions have cut off days at end this month, makes it hard for any finals team players to get a job there. That should leave a few good players for nbl1 competition or nz perhaps available.

Perth should sign Damien Scott, kid can flat out score, run and play D. He is better than most their bench.
Sek Henry jas rejoined his former club in Israel for the rest ofthe season.
"Fearne on a way too good wicket in japan to leave."
Fuck me dead.
Fearney's coaching college ball in the States. Fearne coached Cairns for 9 years.
Shawn Dennis has been in Japan the past three years. Shawn was the final Townsville coach.
Yeah you gotta laugh at the "fans" that simply are clueless. "But someone told me" hilarious
