BOGUT INSURANCE OK...Now KINGS..BLAZE..or 36ers?

Look, like most other here I hope he signs with Adelaide. But like I said, I'll believe it when everyone concerned (the NBL, whichever club and Bogut himself) comes out and says its a signed deal. Until then I won't believe he's singed with anyone, despite what some say or believe will happen.

Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants for everyone if Bogut up and signed with say Townsville (they don't have Big Red for the first 2 months through a hip injury, a perfect replacement).

Personally though, I am over this $hit. I'll believe who Bogut has signed for when I read a legitimate article on the NBL or News website or I see AB himself on the telly saying "I've signed to play in the NBL with the ....."

Gold Coast think they have him locked in, 'sources' say he is going to the Kings and everybody else wants him to go to Adelaide but thinks that's a long shot. I think I might ask my dog if he knows who Bogey will sign for. If he barks 36 times I might believe him. But I'll probably start looking for hairs on the palm of my hand instead.....

Terrific news! lets hope it is sydney, Melbourne v. Sydney in Melbourne friday night is going to be sensational if this is the case! Great for the NBL.... may only last a couple of games due to discussions with the NBA lockout beginning to take shape...

And so it begins... :D

Yeah if Grant is released, I think he would be well worth a look for the Sixers. Wouldn't be as mobile as Williams but should fit the bill as a low post scorer and rebounder.

Equally if Ratzsch were released, I think he'd be worth a look too.

Not sure who is Making room for him.

Done deal. Sydney have him signed. Very good source just informed me.

Gold Coast or Sydney will get his services not adelaide i put my money on this.Adelaide already has Johnson and Helliwell .

Those numbers are definitely a fair bit out OPT, as the above list would put all three teams over the points cap!

In Sydney's case, you'd think they would simply cut Grant to give them the 10 points to bring in Bogut.

Adelaide is easy, just bring Bogut in for the departed Williamson.

You'd think GC would just cut Hudson.

In terms of roster fit, GC is clearly the best destination for Bogut, because they don't have much in the way of Aussie big men. In Sydney and Adelaide's case, Bogut signing would negatively impact on Khazzouh and DJ and would also make their rosters a little top heavy.

Would still love to see Bogut in Adelaide though!

Anon is surely right about Bogut's signing not being announced today though. They will wait until tomorrow at the earliest.

Come on AB get it done!

Boti's "bitching" section in today's Tizer Says the Tool is getting rid of all other alpha males from the Dragons - Drmic goes. Given that Frank is the same age as(and for some time, considered a better player?) than Matt Nielson is he a worthy of an approach by the 36er's

Is Williamson still in Adelaide?

If so and we get Bogut could we get him to stick around and rehab in Adelaide with the promise of being bought back in when Bogut leaves for the NBA if/when he recovers from the injury in time.

Anyone in the know able to say if the 36ers are a realistic chance to get Bogut? it seems that we have the best spot for him as he would essentially be our 2nd import, so we should have a decent import wage and points wont be a issue, so we dont need to cut anyone or anything to fit him in where the Blaze and Kings would i think.
