Good riddance over hyped turd.

no need for a personal attack just because he didn't play as well as you hoped.

What local could they get quickly.

If they could get maker for 10 games...

How much $ was Adel on as a marquee player?

A lot.

Harvey
Jessup
Simon
Maker
Froling

Naar
White
Grida
Deng
Ogilvy

Crap attitude the day he turned up.

Bairstow another rubbish signing so the Hawks will be very very short handed.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sign no one as Gorg has lost the players anyway.

Maker will be as bad as Adel, some people never learn.

No way, maker would be great.

Coenrad out of retirement

Marquee, probably on 500k plus. Good out come for the Hawks, could another nbl club pick him up?.

They don't need a sf with Simon and grida, they need a stud 4

Gleeson only has cotton n Mooney, they lost Martin Terrico plumlee

What are you basing your opinion on Maker being great, the same media that told us how great Adel was and would clean up nbl. You should actually try and watch a few games. Also Maker has not played in 18 months.

He wasn't any good? Bad attitude? Club needs to take equal responsibility from a recruitment point of view. Bad luck.

"Goorjian should be COTY with that crap roster having a them a touch under .500"

You can't be serious? Three imports, a returning NBA player, a decent Aussie veteran big and an up and coming big, and he's done nothing with them.

It's time we started calling Goorjian out for being completely overrated.

Its up to the player to actually care and have a decent go.

Lock up everything or it might go missing.

Crazy.
The first time in NBL history the hawks paid more for players and coaches then their "big brothers" Sydney.
Been very underwhelming.

Who gives a toss about the kings.

Cooks is available at seasons end, Kay as well, marquee money can get you a good player.

Yes they have. By a considerable margin.

Must be the CEO to know how much they spent or just a s. T talker

Sydney spent half a mill more.

Sydney total budget compared to hawks.

Please take Cooks. Another over rated player.

Santamaria tweeting kings should take him, lol, he's still believing in the hype, I suppose he’s part of the reason for the hype. Forde to smart to bring him in.

The boomers list can be cut down significantly.
Can take out 5 guys right now.

"Sydney spent half a mill more." If they did someone should be sacked.

Only 5.

Another over hyped bum!

Adel shows that his game is built for G-League adn NBA style of game but in a more FIBA style of basketball he doesn't have the fundamentals or game smarts to effect winning and simply isn't good enough!

The worst best player i know

Anyone calling Gorgi overrated speaks volumes to how stupid he or she is. Typical don't know the first thing about basketball never played anywhere domestic leagues don’t count hahahahhaah

No heart or discipline....gee that's a surprise.

Anyone calling Goorjian Gorji is even stupider.

I think even the most one eyed Gorjian fan has to admit that the coaching has caught up to him since he has been away.

The answers to some of the problems presented by other teams this year, just haven't been there, and although the Hawks locals aren't the best, he does have one of the best scorers the league has seen in a while. Imagine what other coaches would do with Harvey?

For me how he goes with the Boomers will be the litmus test. If it's the same, grind, grind, grind at one end, with only the amoeba to change things up in the half court and the 4 out 1 in - cut opposite corner stuff that clearly lacks the variation other teams have available to them, then we're in real trouble.

Here's hoping that he's got a LOT more in the bag for the big kids, but I'm worried that he's looking starting to look a little fossilised.

Goorjo reminds me of my grandpa was young once but alas now is old.

Goorjian chose the imports.

Some punters on here don't have a clue,
Perth keep winning championships because they play DEFENCE, Goorj has got to get that right first, good offence flows from good D.
Harvey needs a lot of ball and is a bit of a one out player, hasn’t helped even though he has been good, at least he shoots at a good percentage and plays ok D.
Adel has done nothing at either end, Bairstow is injury prone as usual have been there two big mistakes for money invested. Is this on management or the coach or both.
The rest of the locals have improved there games significantly, an example is that Naar actually plays reasonable D now. AJ has had his best year in seasons, Froling, Deng both on the up.
Jessup and Simon have been ok to good.
They are still a chance of finals which would be remarkable.
The nbl, fiba competitions and European basketball is not like the nba, as proved in the last World Cup, USA second, third string side could not get it done.
Goorj will be fine, just hope politics doesn’t get in the way of selections as it looks like in the forty man squad.

The level of knowledge that people think they know how much teams spend on their rosters from so called reliable sources is astonishing
No GM or anyone close to that information would let it leak out,that's why none of the players salaries have been made public for salary cap reasons

It doesn't rile me up, it’s just a laugh that you think you have inside knowledge

When the two players you sign as marquees fail you, I'd say your offence failed for that reason. Adel never showed up and Bairstow only play spasmodically due to injuries.
Defence still wins premierships.

I think Goorj has done OK. The Hawks are better than I expected. And I think everyone, including the Hawks, expected much, much more from Adel. At the same time, the quality of coaches and players are probably much better than Goorjian's last stint and league parity is probably much better.

Bolt said "I don't think anything. I'm mates with a GM at one of the clubs. Believe it or not, they have friends, and we discuss stuff."
Pretty sure mate that when it comes t the crunch about what GM's talk about you aren't included. If you are then your GM mate needs sacking.

Bolt is indeed a troll.

I wouldn't write off Goorjian yet. Remember when the Hawks got off to a flying 4-0 start? Deng Adel was injured for those games. This will be addition by subtraction and you can expect the Hawks form to pick up again.

Bairstow is not soft, just injured a lot. Adel has been bad, hasn't contributed to the hawks at all, so no loss.

Imagine if Illawarra got Dech and Blanchfield instead of Adel and Bairstow and got an import 4 instead of Simon

Hawks would have needed him in quarantine three days earlier than he was rumoured to have arrived in order to make him qualify

Hawks tweeted last night that Bairstow and Adel out tonight due to injury.

Going to Perth I'm hearing.
