SOS 36ers press conference, midday Tuesday

Ch9 news went pretty quick.. likely Rychart for Holmes, they said. Ballinger signed. Not sure if they can keep Bruce under rigid salary cap.
Ng likely also. Someone else they are letting go.
Chasing Burston. and keeping Luke as an invitation to return if Europe doesnt work.. and more but it was too quick ???

I think ideally you would want an import pg who can play on court at the same time as Bruce (ie 64 with good defence). As for Burston, did he just marry a Meblourne girl? If so, I'd favour Adelaide over Perth, which seem to be his two main options.

ABC news just had a short story. A fe signings are apparently expected in the next few days. They had a sound-byte of Ninnis saying that he had spoken with Matt Burston, and that he thinks having a good point guard is very important for teams looking to win a championship.

So I'm guessing Ballinger, Holmes and Hill are likely to be signed soon. Burston is obviously a high priority as well. The most interesting thing Ninnis said is about the PG position though. Does this mean he doesn't see Bruce as our future PG? Or does it just mean bringing in a top import at the position, with Bruce learning his trade off the bench for a couple of seasons?

Can I second 'no Cooper' please? There has to be a better big man out there. If we can't pick up a good FA as a backup, lets give a young guy with some potential a go.

For mine, it looks like the Tigers are again putting together a team that struggles to create shots for each other or handle pressure, while NZ will again lack athleticism across the board, which means the championship is wide open for any team that can astutely assemble a balanced lineup from the wide range of talent that is still available.

Thanks DICKO but I'll go watch the team and make my own mind up. Particularly as I have not seen a roster. It's all just speculation as to whose in and whose out at the moment.

Lets take one step at a time. I know there will be a team and a comp. Enough for now. Looking forward to reports from the press conference.

I don't think Hodge would be welcome back while any of last season's fans still love the Sixers.

On another note, I wouldn't mind seeing a name change from "SOS", as you know, it seems they are no longer in immediate danger..

Issac, can anyone go to a press conference or only the press?
