Kent, reality means falling below the top 8. Reality is not what the fans want. They want a club that can be competitive both on and off the court. I'm sure the owner also wants a team that can lift above the 8th position. Any money spent on putting a team together that won't make the finals, is money that could be saved altogether and not bother having a team in Adelaide. Its like buying a pair of shoes that are 2 sizes too small simply because it was cheaper. How much value will you get when you can't wear them? If it takes spending over the cap, then let it be. Its not as though the NBL is policing it that thoroughly. If they were, it wouldn't be happening and the championship winners would not be necesarily the ones that spent more. With recent financial problems associated with a few clubs in the NBL, I feel Adelaide could survive the practices that have seen them collapse. Adelaide has a strong fan base that increases with the success of the club. With success comes an increase in sponsorship as well. Money makes money.

so that leaves the tigers with....
Anstey 10/Johnson 1 or 3?
Grizzard 10/Sturt 1
Hodge 10/Hoare 9
barlow 8/Greer 4
Crosswell 8/Corletto ?
Signed:
10 Anstey
9 Hoare
8 Barlow
8 Crosswell
4 Greer
1 Sturt
? O'Hea (* not on the points list)
so adding Grizzard, Hodge, Johnson who was signed as well as corletto is their 10 players
They have a lack fo Points guards in that system but I guess Barlow and Hodge will run the point when Crosswell is off.

Tigers today resigned corletto and signed up 212cm centre, 19 year old Daniel johnson
