Why aren't United signing 2 injury replacements

Oh FFS.
NO replacing locals is far from easy. Where are they supposed to find them? Only guys floating around are by definition those who couldn't land a bench role with any team, and/or couldn't or wouldn't get a gig in England or similar.
This season we've had Walker, Wroe, Hussey, and Bragg. Previous years we've had guys like Luke Martin.

The pool of imports available is at least 100 times the size.
That's the very reason they have been able to sack JJ again.
JJ has easily outperformed say someone like Gus, but there is nobody around to replace a local.

Watching beal this season they aint missing much. He looks trrible with the bullets

If your definition of "replacing" is just "replacing with someone not up to scratch" then replacing locals is also easy.
If that's not your definition, then replacing imports clearly is not a piece of cake because Perth have already screwed it up once trying to replace Beal, a second time trying to replace JJ, and a third time trying to replace Ingram.

Yes, but it was easy. Plenty of imports out there.
Replacing a local is hard, we have never found a replacement for Martin

Dazz Perth have had all sorts of issues simply replacing imports this season. All sorts of separation anxiety from those they have deactivated.

It's the same old story:
Imports are easy to replace, whether you grab a known quantity, go chasing a gun, or take a punt on someone in the D-League.
Decent Locals are much tougher to source, especially when the criteria is getting somebody better than your existing bench and DPs.

Williams is useless.I hope they keep him so it gives the Hawks and other teams a better chance of winning.He's better suited to scuba diving with those goggles.

Hopefully

I think Williams is cooked.

In a Fox Sports article by Olgun Uluc he says: " Boone will join United as a temporary injury replacement, but is expected to be with the team for the remainder of the 2016-17 season, sources said"

How can this be?

3 imports per NBL team but United will have: Ware, Williams, Boone and Moore

Maybe they like the small ball lineup they have now and only really need to cover 1 player

Both combined were probably playing the minutes of one player?

I plus alot of other people want Daniel Johnson to start for the sixers. If not start him bring him off the bench early and increase his minutes to atleast 20-25 a game. He has pretty good stats for only about 15 minutes a game of 7.1 points, 3.5 rebounds. If he plays more center it allows ballinger to play his normal position, therefore we would most likely see a increase in his scoring. Its a win-win situation. Then you could go with a Howard, and Shannon backcourt and either carter, holmes or hill as the last starter!
