Thomas was terminated following multiple breaches of contract and breaches of the Phoenix code of conduct.
Very clear that some nbl teams do not have good scouts or an eye for talent or do their due diligence.
They have a code of conduct? Suppose it's just applies to certain people then.
Rice was here way too long and they covered half his bs up.

Ridiculous that he never even suited up. Lots of imports have come here this year and been injured from the get go.
Australia is still a great holiday destination. COVID has probably affected a lot of preparation, but these guys are professional athletes. NBL clubs are more professional than ever but a lazy player or shit bloke will always fall through the cracks. Player managers need to be a lot more accountable.
Maybe go local, think pozoglou deserves another shot. Maybe they bringin in Thon.

Was a bit of an odd signing to begin with signing an import who was playing in Estonia. Must've come real cheap and now they probably realise why.

caught part of a Euroleague game the other day where Exum was starting for Barcelona and played a pretty decent role so would be surprised if he becomes available any time soon

Super odd inclusion in the article: "on the radar but just joined Barcelona"....clearly not available then.
Crackers having zero concept of how to read between the lines.

Was he ever even warming up with the team at shoot around before a game because he's got to be the worst import ever conversation if he lasted weeks and wasn’t even allowed to do that
Hmmm....I've been watching a Euroleague game with Exum in it. Came off the bench and has been VERY ordinary. I think he may be seeking an early release for some strange reason.......

I saw Dante in the starting lineup on the beach and he played better than ordinary, but worse than pretty decent.
Exum is doing fine - but only if you understand the coach and style he's implemented at Barca. Also the fact that there’s a cracking young Lithuanian PG in the rotation also, but hey watching five minutes on fox makes us all experts...
Haha. Ingles13 was talking about his previous game before Xmas, I was talking about this mornings effort.
Today's stats are 26 mins, 3 points (1 from 5), 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 block, 4 turnovers. Not what this franchise will want from him.
clearly off court actions only taken into account for certain people
DR KR said "I love this forum." Yes it will be much better when you leave.
Anonymous 117, I don't understand your comment. Obviously you don’t get my post. Thomas is a shit bloke and a shit player. Is that simple enough for you. Oh the great anonymous posters!
