Rumoured - Perth Wildcats to Sign Hugh Greenwood
Good to see that at least they're saying that it's not a lock at Perth, as I would have hoped a previous national juniors coach would be working pretty hard on signing him for his team...

Cats...are reluctant to include NBA & European out clauses in contracts.[citation needed]


This Robbin's signing thing is hilarious.
Knowing the source of this info it's fun seeing people bite and speculate.
Robbin's has lost a ton of weight and is arguably in the best shape of his career, and all his niggling injuries have healed.

I think Paul is on the money with his assessment of Greenwood and his potential imp[act in his first year of NBL.
Trist to Sydney makes sense as he is a local boy. Would be a very good addition.

@PeterJohn - I wasn't factoring in the last import spot or the marquee ruling. So basically looking at 9 players - 850K salary cap with 150K + for a Marquee ontop of that.

You can have as many points as you want, doesn't mean you can afford him under the salary cap. Assuming Perth used the full 1 million salary cap last year, they only have U'u and Ross's salary to use.
Greenwood wouldn't of come that cheap. Very doubtful they will be able to come close to fitting an 8pt player under the salary cap, hence my suggestion for Robbins.

@Train hope so man. his and marto's defence in the back court would be unstoppable!

@Rashad - Just an assumption. He has been registered on the free agents list, looks in great shape and he would seem like a likely option.

Wildcats could be looking at NBA Draftee JK Tokoto. 6'6 athletic SG. More Ennis like than Daniels

@train is Robbins making a comeback?

He's a 3 point Australian.
Meaning the Wildcats have 18 points to splurge on an Import and another local.

I'm predicting the team to look like this for 2015/16
PG: Martin / Robbins??
SG: Beal / Greenwood
SF: Import?? / Hire
PF: Wagstaff / Redhage
C: Knight / Jervis

I haven't seen a lot of Greenwood but saw a bit of him when he played for the Boomers vs China last year. He should be a great addition to the team and a good back up to Martin.
I assume his signing would be 3 points under the points cap which also leaves the Cats with 18 points to blow on their last 2 roster spots.
