It's time to get over Newley and Ingles
I'm quite sick of reading alot of the crap on here about Newley and Ingles. We all know the club missed out an opportunity to sign the two best young talents in Australia. And so many people think that they would quite willingly come back to Adelaide: "sack Maher bring back Newley and Ingles", "when Newley and Ingles get out of contract we should get them" etc etc
This is crap. These guys are destined for bigger and better things than the Adelaide 36ers. They most likely will NEVER play for Adelaide unless they a) get cut down by serious injury and don't reach their potential; or b) come here in their twilight.
So we should get over them and concentrate on the next generation of young superstars coming through.
As for Schenscher, why would a guy who has just come out of a series of NBA contracts come to a league that is tbh well out of the NBA spotlight??? Unless he is severely homesick and would want to play for the love of the game (whilst making an income as an extremely tall "door bitch" at HQ), why wouldn't he want to go to Europe and get paid serious $$$$ and leave him in the NBA spotlight?? If Helliwell is getting decent denaro in Europe, than there's no doubt a division 1 team somewhere that would use a guy like Schescher.
I just thought it might be time to face a few home truths. Don't get me wrong, I'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE for these three guys to come back and play (simultaneously or not) for Adelaide at some stage in their careers....but I don't see it happening in the next ten years unless there are something major happens.
