Heard Kevin Freeman signed today with the sixers on a melbourne radio station, great news for the sixers and great for the league to have him back in.

that would be the 2nd import for the team used to play for the bullets.

I don't dispute what your saying one bit but how would a Victorian radio station know?
If the Adelaide 36ers released a statement regarding this player signing wouldn't they send a press release to 5AA, the major television news services (lets see what happens in just over 2 hours?) and Isaac (this web site?)
Hopefully it's true but I just wonder how a Victorian radio station gets this sort of information first.

One would presume it was heard on SEN - Sports Radio - that would a) be the only radio station here in Melbourne with basketball coverage and b) be the only station/place that could possibly know before Adelaide media. Some of you may be aware of Andrew Gazes heavy involvement with the station.

Ok something about the Adelaide 36er signing a superstar (there words not mine) will be released on channel 7 news tonight (I guess channel 10 would have the same details as well)
Sounds like it legitimate
If it is true more great work (not) by the sixers to get the info out to their local fans. I thought this would be something they'd be bursting to announce. Let's hope the new owners are more media savvy.

For the zillionth time, the club cannot announce signings until they've been approved by the NBL. If they could, they would've done it, trust me - they find the situation quite frustrating!

Most of us understand that the Club cannot official ANNOUNCE the signing until the NBL approves it but surely they could release something after said player has signed prior to NBL approval -
Something along the lines of they are in talks with Player and he is very close to signing, or they are pending NBL approval? Especially considering they were very quick to make some news regarding other imports that seem to be the smoke screens mentioned.
Every other club seems to be able to get something out there but the Sixers always throw out the excuse that they arnt allowed to announce anything until NBL approval. Why?!

DJ, that was infact the exact wording that were used tonight in reference to the Freeman signing on the news tonight, they said that the club was very close to signing him.
