Sydney Kings Sign Steve Markovic

I've been on the record for a long time saying that this was a great idea^ and that we needed an experienced floor leader instead a kid fresh out of school, so this is a good get (since Gibbo re-signed) which should be at an affordable price to free up a bit more cash to splash on an import SG and Chill (hopefully) not to mention paying for Jules as well...

... paid $100K by some donor who is a Kings supporter would that be against the rules?

I seem to recall at least in the past, that all money earned, even if not basketball related, was subject to the cap? However, with how the marquee rule is set up, with only $150K needing to go against the cap, surely they can find specific sponsors to pay just for him in a completely legit way?

@fstos - I dig your line up, and before this signing, thought Clarke was the better option over Lisch (if I was to be super greedy!) as he always dazzled me with his ability to make the Hawks better and get it to the open shooter as well as being able to take everything on his shoulders and to win games just by himself...

If it means getting Clarke (or Lisch - still holding out some sort of hope!) then I'm ok with SOJ, he's at least not shy to shoot... I'd MUCH rather Mitch McCarron though...

^ - if he can stay healthy

Wow that's a big signing, well done to the Kings for smartening up about rookie imports playing the point.

If they get Rotnei and with the talent and Illawarra and Melbourne and the confidence in NZ... I think my Wildcats may struggle to make the playoffs...

Whilst we are on the Wildcats, if Wagstaff leaves can the Wildcats make a play for Cosy Ellis or is his contract over at the end of next season?

Duinker looks to be on the outer according to everyone

PG: Markovic/Cadee
SG: Rotnei Clarke/SOJ
SF: Chill/ Brad Hill
PF: Garlepp/Ellis
C: Khazzouh/Brandt

A line up like this would be achievable and decent.

Nice work Kings.

Childress is currently in Sydney apparently.

Here is a stupid question; if the Josh Childress foundation is set up as a registered Austraian NGO and Josh is made the CEO or MD or whatever and paid $100K by some donor who is a Kings supporter would that be against the rules?

I'm all for going with an Aussie PG - too much of a risk to pick a rookie import at the position, and probably too expensive to grab a veteran at the spot if we hope to re-sign Childress.

I think a Childress/Khazzouh frontcourt would be just about the only way to make Garlepp at the 4 work. For all his scoring - and he's really improved in that area - he is just too weak on the boards at the 4 spot if we don't have a 5 and 3 who hit the glass.
