36ers sign Brad Davidson, retain Matt Sutton

I'm interested to know why Singapore didn't want him. I admit I haven't had a good eye for Davidson until now but its hard to get excited when you sign someone outside our club before the season ends with no competition from anyone else. What is it that makes him good for Adelaide but no one else interested. Show me a real star that 6 other clubs are vigorously puersuing and then when Adelaide wins him, that will be cause for excitement. I would like to see the likes of Ebi Ere even if he commands $300K. If any club will pay that sort of money, why not Adelaide?

I think Davidson is a good signing, particularaly if he is coming in as a back up point guard to Maher or a import, i think Davidson gives us flexibility as he can start if need be but i think ideally the team would looks something like
PG Import/Davidson/Sutton
SG Maher/Ng or Hill
SF Newley/Majstro or someone like Rush
PF Import (ballinger)
C someone like Moore or Melmeth/Cooper

thats how i would prefer to see the team but if we miss out on Newley or a a decent centre we can always start Davidson and get a import in the SF or C spot. I think for a team like that a Cortez Groves type import would be ideal or even Tucker as Groves could start PG but play minutes in the SG spot n maybe even SF at times, and with Tucker he can start SF (Newley to play as a guard) and play some minutes in either guard spot if need be, that way even though he is coming off the bench Davidson would still get some decent minutes along with Maher and the import

Thanks for clearing that up Isaac.

So why did Singapore not want to retain him?

Great move by the club in my opinion, just interesting since I thought he was one of the 'better' performers for the slingers.

Should be a good fit, Davidson running the point with Sutton as back up, Maher back at the 2, scoring and playmaking...2 good big men as imports. Sounds like a step in the right direction at least...
