rumours

HF Bullets
Drmic Bullets
Cam Gliddon Phoenix
Todd Blanchfield no news

Do people really think Goulding is leaving Melbourne? I can't see it happening.

Well if Goulding is in Melbourne, he's not going anywhere right now!

Trev 'the troll'

Mangok maithang has a deal in Slovenian KK cedevita olimpija olgun uluc

Not a done deal yet.


Bigs
Brandt, Salt, Reath, Bairstow still available.

Possibly but unlikely Landale, bolden

Free agent maybe
Kickert

Motum too.

Kickert still a decent backup for some teams.

Sydney needs a big name

goulding will re-sign for one season and then join Tas team next year alongside gibbo

Illawarra got lot work to do.

Hawks hopefully can get something like

Illawara Hawks-Goorjan
(I)/6'1 E.Naar
6’5 S.Dech/6’4 A.Glover
6’7 D.Adel/6’7 T.Blanchfield
6’10 J.Bolden/6’11 S.Froling
(I)/6’11 A.Ogilvy

Maybe motum(euro) over bolden(who doesn’t look likely to keep nba gig)
Glover rumoured to Sydney

Blanchfield is a lower budget player now, though JVG took him to the kings, so likely to over pay him in Adelaide.

Rumour out Illawarra is that no players have been contacted yet re the up coming season, part reason that Glover could be at Kings. Free agency could be delayed again or the new hawks will be nbl1 team with a gun coach.

DJ Newbill is a legit gun of the league but flies under the radar in Cairns.

Newbill flew under the radar at the breakers, solid player at both ends and doesn't look for accolades. Cairns very smart in picking him up two seasons ago, hope he can stay there.

Not even close to factual. Move along.

With free agency a week away you would think the hawks would have announced a signing or two. If a local home grown talent like Glover is kings bound because he hasn't been offered a contract maybe you have better move a long a bit quicker.

Which players and coaches did the Ball group have? surely you are happier with professional basketball people running the club, not more flash in the pan investors.

AIr Delay , Lavalle & the Ball camp would've been in the same predicament as the current owners, they had to sign a coach & staff, then talk to the players & offer them contracts
Who is to say that the players would still sign before free agency starts

Lavalle was going with the existing coach and had new assistant coaches ready. The players were training at the snake pit under Flinn. All has stopped and players agents are looking elsewhere. The whole thing is set to fail, and people who don't no much about hawks the snake pit is the centre of everything basketball, senior and junior teams.
Before everyone starts bagging Flinn, how did Kelly go first season or even the great Gleeson do at Melbourne.

There will only be scrubs left, Glover is no scrub either and a very popular local, if they don't want the team in Wollongong should have moved it already.

The new owwners that probably own 25% of a club in crisis. Do you think they have any say in what LK wants?

You don't read well, hawks have offered nothing to any of there players. By the way the kings offer was bottom line.

So is motum going to Perth, hawks, sem, Melbourne, cairns or Sydney

In the post...
Adelaide is full, brisbane is full, breakers are full.

You don't read well, hawks have offered nothing to any of there players. By the way the kings offer was bottom line.

You are wrong , the Hawks have offered

They haven't.

They haven't

You know nothing,they certainly have

They certainly haven't.

This is fun!

When the Hawks went into VA,all current contracts were all void. When the NBL took over the ownership they offered contracts to the players it affected (Dech, Froling & Glover). The new ownership which took over from NBL have been quoted that the contract offers are still on the table for these players during free agency

What are you smoking Andrew.

Apart from the local free agent hawks
I thought Kenny was solid off the bench for cairns.
I think Hickey deserves more time at sem too from a dp.
Interested to se where j.white goes, both Melbourne teams need him.

Blanchfield and Ogilvy won't work hard enough for Goorj - he won't want them.

Lifelong hawks fan here, and I love the Hawks/Kings rivalry just as much as anyone.

But for the love of god please stop with the "PurpleFilth" garbage.

Not intelligent, not funny, very embarrassing.

And bring on free agency - hopefully they announce some HUGE signings to put this debate to bed and we can get back to actually getting excited about it rather than trash talking the new look Hawks.

Krebs to the Bullets.

B-2 in Japan, wonder what sort money they pay.

They combined 2 leagues in Japan. A lot of teams. Top players earn half a mill in D1

Good luck to him, hopefully he sets himself up with a good paying contract.

A league starting up in a foreign country this year? Don't tell Dr Kobe.

Strange I thought you said no overseas competitions until mid next year. Can't be stuffed finding the exct quote. I guess you can't even remember what B/S you made up.

Kobe: I never said that, you just made it up.

Stalker: No, I can't find where you said it, so I just made it up.

I can't be stuffed finding it. You have posted 5000+ crap times. I never said I can't find it. You can't even read and comprehend it appears.

OK. You said "

Earlier this year

Other than Singapore who have tightened restrictions most countries will probably start to ease them in next six weeks.
Maybe, but there's a long way between 'easing restrictions' and 'business as usual', [Bold]which won't be happening until the middle of next year at the earliest.[/bold]
Citation needed. Happy now?

How does that prove KR said that no leagues will start up in foreign countries? Business as usual factors A LOT of things into it - not just easing of restrictions, and certainly not the commencement of a local basketball league.

Pretty clear to me.
koberulz
Earlier this year

'business as usual', which won't be happening until the middle of next year at the earliest'.
Citation needed.

Oh ok, repeating the same thing out of context is your sole argument....

And saying "citation needed" means what exactly?

If I were Koberulz I would just ignore the anon.
Can't view posting history anyway.

Kobe always asks for a cititation once idiotic posts are made. Like this one. It's his opinion based on nothing. Please cite where this "fact" is published. before gobbing off. It's not out of context at all. It was stated as a 'fact' based on nothing that's the whole point. Like so many other 'facts' he posts.

You can search posting history, but you'd have to be pretty obsessed with someone to do that to the extent this stalker does.

"Kobe always asks for a cititation once idiotic posts are made"

Yeah so why are you saying it after your own post?

" It's not out of context at all. It was stated as a 'fact' based on nothing that's the whole point."

No, the whole point is you're a sad fucker who spends too much time over what KR has or hasn't said. You have an unhealthy obsession with him.

I prefer him saying "citation needed" at the end of his own comment because he thinks that it's something you say after an idiotic post.

"No, the whole point is you're a sad fucker who spends too much time over what KR has or hasn't said. You have an unhealthy obsession with him." Wow. Such a pointless post that is suppossed to have validity. Sad. I hope the medication solves your issues. Seriously I do. Nah. Give your trolling of me up. That's about as pitiful and pathetic as you are.

BTW you really can't comprehend DR Kobe. I wasn't replying to you

What a curious response

"No, the whole point is you're a sad fucker who spends too much time over what KR has or hasn't said. You have an unhealthy obsession with him." Pot, kettle, black.

Every thread gets high jacked with personal insults, yes koberulz does talk crap at times but also has good things to say. It's the same with most on here, say your piece and move on, stop attacking posters, it’s there opinion and if you don’t like it don’t read it.

How do we know if we do or don't like their opinions if we can't read them?

This goes beyond opinions though. It's one sad twats who stalks koberulz and tries to show him up but always fails.

Perthworld's part of the problems we all know. Between the 2 of them the hoops would be a lot better off with neither here.

Its the idiot that keeps bagging them for no reason that is the problem.

Yes perthworld

Oh boy the trifecta of D2.0, Perthworld and Koberulz.
The anon trolling those three is just as sad as them if not worse.

Can't believe I'm going to say this but Koberulz is ok. The other two are obviously gronks.

The three off them are fine, read what you want and ignore the rest.

You'd be surprised at the age of the guy doing the anonymous bullying!

Ok I will bite how old is this person?

I wouldn't mind Blanchfield at Perth tbh the guy is only 28/29 and might thrive in new environment.
Provided he isn't asking for big money.
Perth will need that for their bigs.

How many new environments does that spud need to shine?

Perthwordd asking questions as an anonymous. Not unusual.

If you're meaning Blanchfield think about some of the crap teams/coaches he has played for.
Perth will probably go an import small forward anyway.

mangok mathiang has gone back to europe to play in Slovenia

JUST TURN UP AND WATCH THE BEST TEAM GOING AROUND IN A LONG TIME

Citation needed.

European basketball sites have Angus glover signed with the kings mason peatling signed 2 yr deal DP first yr with United

Glover gone, the new hawks not travelling to well early.

Is kuminga a ns?

What about Matt Kenyon

6'1 M.Norton/6’1 D.Martin
6’1 B.Cotton/6’5 W.Buluk
6’5 T.White//6’7 C.Steindl
6’10 B.Motum/6’8 J.Wagstaff
6’11 D.Reath or 6’10 A.Brandt/6’9 M.Majok
DP
6’7 L.Travers SF

Plumlee if cotton naturalises.

D2.0 wring again
Brandt left Perth first time because Trev wanted him off the bench backing up an import 5. Brandt won't play for him again unless he gets marquee money. Which Perth already gave to cotton

Wrong again D2.0
It's not a bench cap , it’s for 5 players.
Read a book

It's Dazz Meh.

Brandt left Perth first time because Trev wanted him off the bench backing up an import 5

Absolute rubbish.

John Roberson signed in Spain. SEM need a point guard.

SEM also need a new GM

[Perth wildcats have been very quiet compared to other teams.]

Wonder why they couldn't land any college guys or big fish?
I'm sure D2.0 will give us his "expert" opinion.

There are more than five players available for then to sign.

They already have two young up and comers in Wani and Travers (and Travers is tipped to be better than them all) so they just need a couple of pieces to complete their roster.

Perth need a next star.

"SEM also need a new GM" Where's Tommy gone?

Hawks sign Deng deng, have they signed deng Adel as well ?

i wouldnt be surprise Deng Adel was false along and it was deng deng

Who's left and who gets a spot. Cairns very quiet, most other sides taken shape.

if Oliver doesn't return can u see Nate and aj sharing the centre position

i have seen on some websites that rob loe was playing in japan so maybe pledger could go home to the breakers

Jawai confirmed for two more seasons at Cairns. Good signing on last seasons form.

Cairns should get a local Centre and keep Newbill.

Realistically they can't afford Oliver if he’s getting Euroleague offers and there are more local Centres available than wings.

Even Pledger splitting minutes at the 5 with Jawai would be fine

Smith-Milner would be a good back up 4-5 at Cairns.

Ogilvy to cairns perhaps.

Whats a local centre?

Missed out on this season... hopefully we see them soon.

Mathiang
Motum
Fotu
Reath
Salt
Kay

Still possible... for nbl

Bolden
Landale
Maker
Mcdowell-White
Brandt

Is there a point?

Would have been much deeper rosters and overall better quality league.


Several teams scrapping for nbl1 level players to fill local. Spots.

i saw that Jesse hunt 6 7 and Andrew Ferguson 7ft r both in the country, are they good enough to get jobs in the nbl

No

Kevin white signed blurrr

Not many local spots left, most teams done.

Which teams still need local and imports ?

Prather signed at Eilat in Israel top division, he must have known this before being released by United.
