Kings sign Bruce, Crosswhite, Garlepp & Harvey

Adelaide have recruited well and looking a lot better than last year. DJ at 4 and luke at 5 looks good but they will need a good preseason to gel.

ADE better than Cairns so far ?

Cadee is an upgrade and will get better, Crosswell missed the season and will be rough, mitch has talent but is raw, Luke/DJ could be potent. The rest of the team had a season to forget.

V

Import Big / Trigger (inside) / Loughton (outside) / Dusty (garbage man - does anything) rotation is a massive step from last year offensively. Defensively its about the team system and Fearne has a proven team defensive system. Gliddon/Steidl - future boomers and shooting prowess, Grabua / Hill (should be signed) - atheleticism v defence mongrel and Jamar (its Jamar 'The Smiling Executioner' Wilson - enough said). Taips need a reliable backup to Jamar from the FA list but overall the club has addressed shortcomings from last year and with a good preseason will go top 4 (only missed by 1 game after all those injuries)

Taips are looking for an import C - depending on the team they are playing the import would start and rotate with Dusty/Alex/Trigger.

It looks as though Loughton went FA to reduce his points rating - word is he has already signed but the paperwork didn't make it last week. He is currently at the Mt Isa Mining Expo with sponsor Skytrans in his Taipans uniform - you dont do that if you haven't re-signed with the club LOL

Someone like Baynes would be good, but he is looking for more fame and fortune in Europe for the next few years - he is a Cairns (Mareeba based family) boy like Jawai so expect them to play for the club eventually. A rather mouth watering proposition.

Need 2 really good imports to blend this mob of aussies! No X factor at all! No finals 4 Kings IMO...

& while i'm at it 36ers will struggle again also.

Big improvers - TAIPANS!!

Early in the season , I heard Heal, as a TV commentator ,
before he was coach , say he'd have an Import PG and Bruce at 2 .
Of any off-court malaise , I cain't comment ,
only ever watched him play and train . I've never met him.

No chance Anatoly Bose is returning to the Kings. Neither is Grant or Ratzsch.

Gynes is still a possibility at returning
