Bradshaw signs with Blaze

Anyone know if he's cleared to play the Sixers tomorrow?

Years ago

Moody guy for sure- I wouldn't be the first to say it!
Let's see what happens though.
I'm pretty sure he signed his contract yesterday then went home but not sure when he suits up or actually starts training, but I'd say Joey'd want him there pretty quick.

Bradshaw has nothing in the post, all his moves are facing the basket, athletic forward at most. can play but needs to lay down on the couch and get some stuff off his chest and then get on with it

He was rated at a 10 because he'd just come out of college.

Hendo, Bradshaw's one and only NBL season was with Brisbane because I sat courtside right in front of him for all of it.
He nearly signed with Breakers but the Bullets got to him first and signed him as soon as he left college at Winthrop.

Brisbane has sat out the past 2 seasons- I know, because I'm still waiting for them to get their sh*t together after two years of no games here.
(The only games I get to see are when I'm in Adelaide on business)

What do you mean last season?
Bradshaw has not stepped foot on an Australian court for 2 years.

I think he is best suited to the NBL style and could build a good career for himself if his attitude is right.


And that will be the key for him as well as forgetting about money for the next 3 months.
I'm pretty sure though he will end up overseas again now that he's dipped his toes in other waters out there but whatever Blaze are paying him it's better than nothing and the other grossly inflated flimsy prices he was offered up north.

Either way no club was going to pay him a year's salary for 3 months work.

Imports here generally get around AUD$30k+ a month, when the dollar was average it was a big difference- he was on US$.
Don't forget when he last played here he wasn't getting anywhere near that- he had to go overseas to get that kind of money.
When he was with Brisbane he was still an awkward kid straight out of college and that didn't pay much at all.

The Korean league cut guys so often it was practically a sport within itself.
They had a lot of guys trying out for that league and he admittedly lasted longer than some as a 2 draft pick.
I think it was Isaac who previously ran a thread about how many guys they get just trying out for that league it's huge and pay is around the $25k mark a month.
He has improved since he was last in the NBL, he didn't get a lot of court time in either Spain or Korea but when he did he played a good allround game I have to say. *gulp*

My concerns with him are his attitude, but if he listens to Joey and doesn't start acting up again then I think he will at least produce some good results on the court and that's ultimately what they're looking for.

*tsk*
Put it this way, he was unhappy with all the offers he got, especially when in comparison with the money he would've been making overseas.
I doubt he will want to play here once this stint is over- he's too rich for NBL pay now.

Joey will at least help him get back on the right path and sort his head out I hope and as far as I'm aware it's just until the end of the season.

In the same period that's seen BASA make the front page for some financial reworkings and the Hunter Pirates begging for sponsorship to stay afloat, the Wollongong Hawks, one of the NBL's founding clubs, isn't clear of trouble.

After operating losses of more than $800k over two years, KPMG has stepped in to request each of the 16 shareholders to dig deep for another $50k to keep the club in business.

The fun never ends!
