36ers Import PG Spot

Laughing at these Singapore references by the way. Last year Sixers were also invited to that pre-season tournament then had to cancel as it was in late Sep and clashed with the Blitz. Same thing will probably happen this season with similar dates. Surprised they got another invite.

Pretty clear that Dillard was going to be signed then he got the Euro offer.

Maybe Dillard was the one on the table at the time of that article, then opted out with Euro contract?

Don't think we'd ever find out.

But if the Sixers are happy with the selection made, I have confidence its someone very good and will take the team to the next level.

..yes and they put roland roberts there also...

Pretty poor form by The Advertiser putting in print Dillard was expected to be playing for us in Singapore.

PAOK seem to think Dillard is their man, so it's probably not him.

Oldham? WTF?

My feeling be...........Oldham,Moore,Roberts for our Imports.

But now Dillard signed with PAOK? Euro out clause?

Sorry Isaac...

How did you make the link nice and neat like that?

Boti's article just now:

OH, and Adelaide 36ers fans? Stay tuned later this week.

Benno...

The google link (non-pay wall) to the article.

Extract from the article.

"The Sixers are the only Australian team in the Singapore event, in which it will be pitted against some of Asia’s best teams from countries such as China, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

Adelaide expects to have its three new imports — expected to be Ramone Moore, Kevin Dillard and Roland Roberts — at the event."

Someone has to know who the new PG is. Name drop somebody ;)

^Where is Drmic?

I'd be stoked if we got Dillard although not as talented as Randle he's the kind of player that would likely be a better fit for this team than Randle was but if he's already signed with PAOK?

Dillard, Moore and this Roberts guy would be an upgrade on Randle/Ferguson/Jacobsen.

So....;

PG: Dillard / Doyle
SG: Sobey / Moore / Teys
SF: Creek / Moore / Teys
PF: Johnson / Roberts / Deng
C: Hodgson / Roberts

Dillard, Moore & Roberts.

Recent article on Adelaide now names Dillard as 'likely'

I'm happy to be wrong on this one.

Seems it is likely to be Dillard.

Looks like Dillard signed with PAOK Thessaloniki, the team Sobes went over to play with after the NBL season. I think their season starts about the same time as ours? So unfortunately seems unlikely we would be the sixers import...

Do we know when an announcement is likely?

Got the email from the club confirming roberts moore and the pg and the invite to training...
yest yoking.....

Shouldn't the "Adelaide 36ers Fans" Twitter handle be named "Adelaide 36ers Fan"? It's one guy's Twitter after all lol. Pretty pretentious if you ask me.

Sixers aren't a sexy pick in the recent era due to years of underacheiving. Bookmakers have no idea about NBL so go with that assumption. Back when Sixers were hot late 90s/early 00s it was the reverse. Go with it and make some $$$$.

What are we looking at? Something like this?

Import/Moore/Doyle
Sobey/Drmic
Teys/Creek
Johnson/Deng
Roberts/Hodgson

As usual, range of ways this could play out, but if Roberts is anything like that highlights video and they're happy with the PG import, they should be decent. Wouldn't think anyone would've regressed and almost any import should be an upgrade on Ferguson.

I believe the club may be pretty happy.

Dont mind how the roster is shaping up. Still dont get how were predicted to finish bottom by most betting agencies (even though it doesnt matter). Just because we lost Randle it doesnt mean were finishing last. But,by the looks of the roster, we will be even faster than last season which should be fun to watch.

Oh yeah RR, somehow forgot that whole thread.

Ronald Roberts (4/5) and a currently unnamed point guard.

So who are the three imports.

Moore and _____ and _____ ?

Dillard would be incredible.

Master Chief...Dillard would be a good fit I reckon too. Ryan Boatright would be another good pick I think.

Be interesting to see who they have gone with.

Ricky wat?

Tornado, would not be unhappy with Dillard at all. He just seemed like a player who could steer a team.

"I dare ya, I double dare ya MF, say 'WHAT' again"

Breakers sign PG Edgar Sosa so not bringing back Kevin Dillard.

36ers have mentioned in the past that they were holding discussions with Dillard.

Do we dare to speculate...?

It might not be an official confirmation but it's a boti confirmation. Say what you will about the guy buy he is rarely wrong when it comes to 36ers news.

Benno, go into "tweets and replies" should find what you are looking for.

Sixers sign everyone by late July. Very nice! Can't recall a side getting it done so early before.

@Dave where exactly on twitter does Boti confirm that the 6ers have signed a PG?

Boti has basically confirmed on Twitter that the 36ers have signed their PG and the team are very happy.

Good times. The signings so far have the makings of a great team, IMO. It all hinges on this PG signing for me.

It's me moron with the Oldham props, never said he should start but could be a cheap backup, will romp home in the Woolacott.

Creek suggested tonight on radio that all imports are signed. Quicker and more athletic than last yr. more athletic than t ferguson. Interested to who the pg is. Assuming Moore is a done deal.

"I don't think it was ever in Randle's court to change his mind. He nominated a ridiculous figure he wanted to be paid to come back and the 36ers rightly moved on from him."

I was hoping that that was just usual negotiation games and jostling.

Anyway maybe if United take Randle we can take Casper Ware.

That too.

I don't think it was ever in Randle's court to change his mind. He nominated a ridiculous figure he wanted to be paid to come back and the 36ers rightly moved on from him.

I doubt very highly that Randle changes his mind. He's been pretty open about the fact he thinks they haven't been honest about his contract negotiations etc. He hasn't missed the opportunity to take a dig at Joey/Guy on social media so I assume that relationship has broken down to a point that it wont be fixed.

If flash Mcguire is stating Sixers have signed a point guard,then why hasnt it been announced.Maybe they are teasing the media.I hope its Dillard or Randle might change his mind?

Anybody who thinks Doyle can be the starting pg for Adelaide is completely delusional
