What's up with Gibbo?

As much as I think Gibson has been our best player and will win the club MVP the reality is he is on big $$ and when you consider that essentially he is taking the place of an import I would definately be seeing what is out there as the combo of Gibbo and Cadee hasnt worked. Whilst you know what you get with him ( great D , work ethic ) his offence has been limited ( due to injury and fitness ) and I expected more scoring from him. If we get that silky guard like a Jackson , Ervin , Flynn type guard I would definately see it as an upgrade !

Adelaide would love that trade, Gibson Out, Ervin In.

Perhaps he's a bit worn down from a fairly heavy schedule, inc. Boomers, over past couple of years.

Some down time will see him comeback strong next season.

Maybe he is waiting to be a Brisbane Bullet (again) but seriously we all keep saying he is on a great pay packet (Boomer so why not) but is he really worth it?

How many clubs could he go to right this moment and make them better without giving them deficiencies due to others lack of playing time.

I think he could make Cairns better, but is it worth taking away Gliddon's development... I'd be absolutely against that and Wilson would be disgruntled by lesser responsibility and playing time.

I think he would be a perfect fit in Perth but would he take a paycut and a role off the bench as we all know Perth fans wouldn't let Martin be benched due to Gibbo!?

I think New Zealand would be a great for for Gibbo if Jackson leaves and Bruton retires but only time will tell.

I believe if Gibson has this high pay packet then him staying in Adelaide is doing nobody any good. Use his pay packet on an import that can help take some responsibility off Cadee as his development should be paramount along with Daly at 36ers.
As for Mitch Creek, he has a stuffed archilles, he won't be back to good enough form for starting until 2014/15... Most archilles injuries take a full year of your career.

Just went through the Dream Team points per player per game. Interesting stuff. Basically broke it down to DT points/min played. Looks like to get a win, a team needs around 200 DT points/game and this means each player needs to pull in 1 DT point/min played.

The team: (DT/min)

Creeky 1.25
Luke 1.17
DJ 1.13
Petrie 1.00
Gibbo 0.84
CJ 0.78
Pero 0.77
Stevie 0.77
Cadee 0.65
Tommy 0.57
Crossy 0.52
SC 0.14

Tigers could take him, flynn probably wont be back next year.

I mentioned that his stats have not been great a few weeks ago and got my head chewed off. He has not been great all season IMO, He is probably the last (least performed) of all the starting PG's this year. Everyone will say how good his defence has been and blah blah blah but honestly he has not had a good season and it reflects in Adelaid's performances.
