YES. Ch9 confirmed he will be back here , ' despite a big offer from Melbourne united, he has decided to play here , and the 36ers will confirm this by thursday.'
That's all they said at the end of the sports news. Didn't say whether one season or three seasons etc....but, we'll know by thursday.

Especially seeing as we'd pay more than the D League as well, don't we? One of the only significant benefits of that league over ours is for the upper level fringe NBA level players that might get called up on a days notice, but there's not too many of those, surely?

Get one of those highlight reel players that aren't much a lot of anything else cheap and get them to excite the crowd, etc etc without the expectations of the top import player...

I think he will be back one way or another. The club is clearly milking this for all it's worth.

Hes got time. THere is no urgency on his behalf to re sign. He can go and play some Euro league for awhile and mull it over.

Its Adelaide who are painting themselves into a corner here. THey more they push the public path to get him back and keep repeating the line'But he likes Joey!' the more they build expectation and if it for some reason does not come to pass then thats a fair bit of bad blood there.

I hope he does sign back up, Adelaide should be having a plan B and C though.

Yeah, I just think it more likely that he hasn't been signed...

During this period of time, immediately following your season, you want to maximise publicity whilst people are still interested. You'd think if they had Randle's signature they'd be shouting it from the rooftops.
Only thing might be, if they linked it to a new sponsor (as was mooted) maybe that announcement is being kept for a particular time?

Apparently Triple M said that they didn't want to overshadow the news that Lightning and 6ers had merged.

Which I don't really believe either.

Heard that too... MMM have been off with these things at times though.

They better not be playing with my emotions!

Only news I've had is from Boti. They are still in negotiations with Randle's manager and we may not have to wait until he is back from Europe to get an answer...

So nothing really.

Let's say they pay $300K instead of $100K for another import PG. With an average ticket price of $30 (I'm estimating), if Randle brings in 500 more people per home game he's paid for himself.

That assumes that there are no on-costs (super, payroll tax, workers comp) and that the $30 ticket price is pure profit.

It just seems to me that if it were that simple, Adelaide would not be facing restrictions in the first place?

I don't know what a single NBL player is paid, so its all speculation. But I feel that $300k must be Marquee territory, and even then must be top of the wozza? I know that theoretically you can pay a Marquee whatever you want, but who has the cash for that? (Not Adelaide I'd wager) and there has to be a trickle down effect.

I don't know how much cash Adelaide has to splash around? But given you went for an old, fat, Ebi Ere as your 2nd import, I'm thinking not much?

And is Randle that great? Clearly he's one of the best offensive guards we have seen in recent times, and his retention has generated significant interest. But based on one season, is he the super-star people seem to think?

I'm just saying, that if Adelaide are going to plonk down that sought of cash on a single player, they need to be 120% certain that he is going to perform at that level for the duration of his contract, and draw the crowds required.

I'm intrigued by this, being a Ukranian citizen, will the 36ers be happy for him to play for the national team and 3 years is a long time so obviously he isn't going back there to live anytime soon.

You'd imagine he would go as the marquee player and that's all good and well but how will the rest of the team line up?

I hope they get their man and he can keep pulling the crowds

I gotta wonder if this was the real thing, what that would do to memberships and indeed pricing?

however speculation is something we are used too however, randle did write that he loved doing his thing on court and joey allowing him to do as he almost pleases so....you never know

Lets face it all these contracts are rolling 1 year deals. If they want to get out they will.

Great for Adelaide if they can get an import to commit for 3 years. Unheard of in the modern NBL.
