Josh Childress Arrival Video

Exactly... Although I don't think he will have to try hard... Seeing him and Perry match up against each other would be good if we didn't have to rely on Perry to guard DJ & Hodgson! :(

I remember Chill had some comments around the "too old" comments... so glad he's back...

*wanders off to daydream about what could have been with a starting backcourt of Draper & Lisch and Chill back in Kings colours*

*sigh*

I can't recall the exact details of the written information/conversation since it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure in my mind that I've seen/heard it on at least 2 occasions that he notified his availability. The Kings politely declined.

I'm pretty sure Adelaide and a few others have had conversation with him over the years, and wouldn't be surprised that they ran parallel to each other. On one of those occasion, I recalled Childress wasn't too impressed that the consensus was that he was too old when he had initial talks with NBL teams.

Anyways that's all done and over with. Might wanna mark Nov 18th and Jan 13th though, he'll try to tear a new one against the Kings.

I think the Kings wouldn't have been in discussions this time around, but you can guarantee they passed him over early on as they were talking up the continuing discussions and that it was up to him, but then went and signed Ellis...

If there was ANY player that you'd wait until a few rounds in to sign, it would be Chill, but they fcuked that up as well...

Bring in a local 5 *cough* *cough**cough**cough* then play Isaac more at the 4, ACTUALLY play Tommy in the first two games, then even not having a proper PG might not be as big an issue...

Then when Chill doesn't make an NBA team, you've been in constant communication, support of his making the NBA and POW, you get him in this round...

But no... fcuked things up again...

Not sure that's true SteveK2, it turns out Childress & the 36ers had been in talks all offseason but he was determined to try and make an NBA team so stayed in the US so the Sixers went with Roberts instead.

When he was cut by Denver former Kings coach Joe Connelly the brother of Nuggets Pres Tim then rung Joey to let him know Childress might be interested now so Joey rung him to replace Wiggins and he immediately agreed.

I can't wait for JvG to be questioned on it and for him to lie saying he wasn't approached. Wrongagain is a complete worm.

Was mentioned somewhere that Chill actually reached out to Kings first. He was bypassed by the Kings, not the other way round.

Poor Josh... R.I.P buddy...

Oh, he's not dead? lol...

A nicely put together video though... You guys definitely got a good one in Chill...

I agree with TokotoRulz. From that music I was half expecting Childress to arrive with the coffin of a deceased parent or something.

Today I learned Adelaide has an airport.

The quality is a vast improvement from previous years. They've done similar videos for their preseason stint in Singapore and for the other Imports this season. Way better output.

That music made it feel like he was leaving.

Quality of the footage and interview were on point.

Music and tone was an odd choice.

It's pretty good I reckon. Not as good as Melbourne's Prather one from the other day but still good.

With the Women's making the finals for the first time in eons, the men's teams sure to announce some new signings, players returning from college stints overseas and new juniors coming through, the program is looking to attract new players as well to fill all divisions in Seniors and Youth League.

What an exciting opportunity for aspiring players to forge out their pathway and get involved in a club going places.
