Crocs sign Ervin and McFarlin

Ervin was great a couple of seasons ago. This season we have some very strong PG's in Deleon, Wilson and Jackson whom I can't see being "dominated" like some of the of the other guys were when he won MVP. Not many could keep up with him where as I believe at least these 3 will.

It will be easier because he already held a visa here previously, plus he has a clean legal record as well. So i'd imagine he will suit u for R1

work Visa's to be set up in aus are sorted within in a week or 2 at the most, and thats for normal people. my work has brought a few people over before and its a week turnaround usually. so i doubt it will be any logger than that.

Shaping up to be a great season with some great Imports in Lisch, Ervin, Jackson, Wilson etc

He's expected to suit up for round 1. I'm unsure of time frames for immigration but..?

Well well, the Crocs have actually told us on our webpage that they have signed Gary Irvin. That's great, but Boss, no one including me wants David Penissi signed. He wasn't much good way back when he was a Suns player. We need someone quicker, younger and better. Hopefully another import.

Anon, I hope you are right about these two signings. We are getting told so many different things up here, it's hard to believe anybody. I'm a season ticket holder for many years and I have just about had enough of all the BS we are being told, about finance and imports. One thing, our club has had to do it on our own, no help from the NBL or the government as other clubs have had. Supposedly we are good for the next three years, I hope so. I will always support my team, but it gets harder every year. Unlike other people on this site, I think the Crocs will still finish in the top four.

You wouldn't sign him for his offensive abilities. You'd sign him to clear the boards. Wouldn't be surprised (if given court time) if McFarlin lead the league in RPG.

McFarlin played briefly for the 76ers and was involved in the Iverson trade when he was traded to the Nuggets. But Ivan was released a few days later and hasn't returned to the NBA since.

I remember not last season but the season before, he just smashed the SEABL on the boards. 16 or 17rpg from memory. Hawks tried him last prior to last season, i'm not sure why they didn't pick him up, but he did impress during scrimmages.

Crocs may be trying to say they haven't signed anyone but it's a done deal! I'd say they just wanna wait for the local news to be available to announce it

Hope it happens, Crocs looked awesome in the game they beat the Breakers in the semi finals.

If McFarlin is a solid import who cleans the glass and Ben Allen keeps up his form, there is no reason the Crocs won't win the whole thing.

Neither player has signed, yet.
