Waiting for Perth & Cairns to start making announcements.
Perth dong have any. They missed out on all their targets.
No jack white
No Keanu Pinder
No Dejan Vasiljevic
No Sunday Dech
No Angus Brandt
Already talking about imports and hoping Bryce gets his citizenship

Not all doom and gloom in Perth... we do still have the reigning league MVP... also:
- Jack White was not going to sign in Perth (even though I understand we enquired).
- Keanu Pinder probably wanted to distance his family name from the Wildcats (fair move going to the 36ers).
- Dejan Vasiljevic was an unfortunate miss, but highly sought after (however a long shot).
- It would have been great to get Sunday back, however we have left this roster spot open for a scorer (interesting to see who we sign here before being too judgmental).
- Angus Brandt would have been a great signing, however does this mean we are going for Duop Reath?
I highly doubt those guys were the only targets Perth were going after. 34 straight playoffs says to trust the organisation through this process.

I think we found Corey Williams burner.
Man, Perth really suck.there are only five basketball players on the planet they could have recruited but they didn't get any. They probably won't be able to field a team this year. Why do they always fail to recruit good players?
Don't forget Rhys Vague left.
Trev doesn’t develop young talent. Needs to inherit a good team and buy the replacements.
This is good time to put shit on Perth supporters because at seasons end they seem to always have the last laugh, while rest teams look for excuses.

Perth have 4 spots to fill.
That sounds like a lot, except
1) We want Damo Back
2) We're going after a gun import PF, and that's not going to be filled early, probably not till the fate of other leagues is better known.
3)

yeah, well sometimes being all thumbs is a problem..
3) We need an Aussie centre, and the rumour is we are trying to get Reath. So ok, Brandt might have been an option, but you can forget most of the other names.
4) Yes we need a 2/3, but I'm not sure that this year would have been the best to sign another young gun. We already have Wani, Travers is on a 3-year deal, and presumably we're targetting Britt or others as a future PG.
Now consider that Cotton WILL naturalise.
Based purely on the numbers, without any assistance, he has a "75% chance" of that being within 18 months, which would be about 6 months from now.

Who will be the starting centre and small forward Dazza?

Other than Blanchfield what small forward options are there.
Haha let's check in two weeks time to see how far off you are this time
Might be wait and see until the draft and get a nice drafted player.
Salt would be a good fit for Perth, a defence and rebounding first player, would suit Gleeson.
guessing todays announcements will be Rueben te Rangi and Gliddon SEM and Isaac Humphries Dech Pinder for the 36ers
Humphries listed at 6'11", about time they got it right, never looked 7’.

Perth got their eyes on Fries, but he's only going if Salt is with him.
Jonathan kuminga has signed to play in the G league for 500,000
Gotta love the deluded Perf fans thinking Cotton will naturalise before this season starts. He will be extremely lucky to naturalise before next season even starts. He doesn't get priority just because he gets BJs from the reach-around army.
Also, Salt injuring his NACL - that is gold!
Who said he deserves priority? He submitted his application about a year ago. How long does the process take?
Perthworld
Years ago
About a year. He is in the queue with every other regular applicant.
So with that timeframe, its reasonable to expect he may be naturalised before the start of the season.

Why would Cotton not get preferential treatment if the right people are batting for him. Happens all the time for some. How may tennis players got naturalised fast? Olympic athletes?
Perthworld

Basketball doesn't seem to get that sort of treatment though.
Why isn't Mitchell Reuter getting a contract? Big unit who can dominate around the cup.
Can't dominate in Waratah. How’s he going to dominate around the cup in the NBL?
Get your facts straight bro.
Reuter owns Waratah.
First in scoring, eighth in rebounds last season.
Waratah last season and last 10 seasons is woeful, give it a rest.
You're wrong, so you’ve moved the goalposts. Clearly he can dominate Waratah.
Dominating the Waratah is no recommendation, bit like winning a date with your sister.
Round 1 12 points 8 rebounds...DOMINANT in a league full of 6' old men/has been’s. Where do I sign him up? What a crock of shit. Thanks for posting Mrs Reuter

James Hunter dropped 20 something points on 85% shooting in first game in waratah league after averaging a double double in nbl1 south, he probably is closer to return to nbl than most of the guys running in that league

waratah league isn't as bad as everyone thinks, if waratah was brutal you would think the CoE would come through and beat everyone by 20plus as they did fairly well in the NBL1
No Waratah is actually worse than everyone thinks. Bose averaged 22ppg & 10.5rpg last season. And someone above has described him more eloquently than I could.
so is that all for today in the free agent signing
josh childress was on corey williams instagram suggesting that SEM were after Scotty hopson guessing it was just a joke
COE were about the same level in NBL1 as a couple of Big V teams that came in.
They also go through cycles as the young guys develop and improve over a couple of years. They are not the same standard every year.

Haha let's check in two weeks time to see how far off you are this timeI'll take that bet.
1) Damo given every opportunity to make it back.
2) Import PF
3) Local cenre or 4/5
4) Local SF or 2/3
5) Cotton will naturalise at some point. If approval were to come though early enough, then 3 or 4 could be changeded for an import

As I said
without any assistance, he has a "75% chance" of that being within 18 months, which would be about 6 months from now.
Reality is, it could happen any time from now, and we'll never now if there was assistance.

Talk is that Reath is trying to get out of his contract, nd we would be seriously interested if that happens. Perhaps surprisingly, that Trev had talked to Brandt, but obviously if he signs in Melbourne that's off. Otherwise NFI, other than that the Cats have of course spoken to the agents of mostly available FAs. It's not impossible that we start Jook, and bring in some young Turk (given Trev's penchant for players with upside) but NFI who that could be.
Starting SF is a chook raffle at the moment. Trev has confirmed he'll start Steindl if necessary.
Could be an experienced player, could be the roster slot is filled with a young guy, could be Cotton naturalises and we get another import, could be we start the season with a DP elevated in anticipation. Don't know what Pozoglou is doing yet.
Sydney
Import, Bruce
DjV, Glover
Didi, Newley,
Cooks, Moller
Import, Hunter.
One more spot to fill, Didi doesn't return Moller to the three and possibly Kickett back. If DjV not a starter yet Didi to the two. Flexible team, Cooks can play 4/5, Newley 2/3, Moller 3/4, Didi 2/3. Could possibly start with one import and play Cooks in the five, Moller start in the four.
Import, Bruce
Didi, Glover
Newley, DJV
Moller, Kickett
Cooks, Hunter
Didi doesn't count as a player in the 10 man roster as he is a next star
So 3 spots to fill
Import/Bruce
Dejan/ Glover
Newley/Moller
Cooks/ ?
Import/ Hunter
Probably Kickett returning
Very quiet on the Cairns, Hawks scene, even Perth a bit quiet after the massive signing of Cotton. All other clubs getting closer to their full rosters.
Oliver finished his contract in Israel, didn't make finals. Be interesting to see where he lands. I can’t see Cairns having the money so I’m tipping Perth though Sydney could be in it.
All of the above though depending on if he doesn’t like playing in Europe.
