36ers working to keep Randle for future

Yep no brainer to retain him if we can. Then build the team around him as part of the core group for a couple of years. We may loose a couple to the new Brisbane team but if other options don't fit then don't force it, particularly in the Madgen situation. Some have said this combination could be defensively weak.

Surely this is what the marquee player was meant for.

Sign him up! Best import we have had in years. The team is not far off the pace and I feel like the extra time they've had on the practice court recently has allowed Joey to work on their defence. It was certainly much improved against both Melbourne and NZ. I can see Joey orchestrating another late season run to get us into the playoffs at this stage.

Sign Randle to a two year deal(use Gibbo salary)
Get rid of Gibson
Get Ben Madgen in sixer uniform.

Get a quality 2/3 man then we will be championship team.

Yep lock him up if you can but i would bet that his agent will hold off till the end of the year for nothing else other than to push his price even if he wanted to stay. Honestly when was the last time we retained an import? The league has so much turn over it would nice to lock some talent away even for a 2 year stretch.

I wonder if the Sixers would be a consistent top 4 team with a returning import each year. I don't think Adelaide has had an import play two (full) seasons since about 2002(?)

When an import returns, there is some certainty and consistency about the team. It gets fans and sponsors excited and this flows to the scoreboard.

I agree. Lock him in for another season with a season extension option and then build the team around him. Get a second import (4/5) contract swinging on the "off year" and then do the same for that import.

I had the chance to speak to him quickly after a game. He said playing here has helped him fall in love with Basketball again after not enjoying his time over in Europe. Surely that is a good sign, although I'm sure every other NBL team will be after him.
