36ers off-season results

Not living in Adelaide any more i wasn't quite as exposed to the level of media and ill sentiment that the 6ers management took. It was certianly ominous reading posts by yogee regarding the situation the 6ers were in.

If these 3 signings come off and they can bring in a big man, who would have Rees coming off the bench, I would say that it is nothing short of brilliant.

If these 3 signings come off and we dont get a big man, then its a decent offseason, but we are awfully light on in the centre. That isn't always a bad thing, since we won 3 titles with Reesey in the middle, but it is going down the 'past champs back together' path a bit much.

Still, it does give more weight for the Maher for Boomers PG argument I've had with Sydney fans on ozhoops. :D

All subject to the NBL approval, of course...

I would think that there would be cap room.

Catt was rumoured to be on about a 200k deal (of course, no one but his agent, the 36ers management and Catt himself will know the truth - the way it should be too), and with the signing of Farley and Williams, you would expect the most to be paid there is $185k ($125k max for Farley, $60k for Williams). Of course, this would be a max, and I would be surprised if that is even close to correct.

Points cap wise, we would also have a minimum of 11 points left, mind you, we use all of them, and we could be in trouble is someone gets injured.

If club management has been able to assemble a team like it soulds like we are going to ahve, and still have some strong room under the cap, I must be the first to say well doen to them.

It's not often I get to congratulate the management lately, but if they have done it, they certainly deserve some ptaise for it, and maybe all our criticisms were a bit harsh??

But having said that, let's see what the final roster is before we get to excited about whats going to happen.

yea, i thought so aswell, some of the money left from cat and CT leavin is still available, which is why there are still rumours of guys like rogers and moore, we only have 8 guys signed (assuming farley, rees and williams are signed (or soon to be) as reported in the advertiser) so obviously there is still some cap space!

I thought the signings hadn't finished and we had room for another big man (not import), ie Moore. Correct me anyone if I'm wrong.

I reckon cats money, say 200k was used on farley and williams and rees, and CT's cash was used in retaining Dusty and jacob
