United sign Carrick Felix as Prather replacement

I like the idea of signing a strong defender who is a lower ball use type guy. On paper it sounds like Felix is a good fit.

When United's CEO talked about Felix during half-time of the game he said he's been brought in more for his defensive abilities. He said they have enough offensive options without Prather so concentrated on signing a defence first guy.

Which is Basketball-Speak for "we're totally screwed without Prather, we just hope this new guy can pull our nuts out of the fire."

Felix's skill set is a complement to United's current guys.

He is a low maintenance player. Will for right in. Great move. He has something they need. Plus, I still think Casey is done for the year and they ain't winning a ship without a third import

Not a good decision, look at Sydney Kings, they are just starting to show they can play together and gell. United have shown they are starting to gell as a unit, this risks breaking up the momentum they have, we will see I guess!

What's wrong with the Australians on their roster, just give them a chance to step up, they will not disappoint!!

Except, there is no evidence that the distribution is going to happen.

Go out and earn revenue like everyone other team does instead of stretching out for hand outs.

This is a great signing for Cairns. Melbourne’s luxury tax distribution will equal their budget this year.

In the press release they said he'll make his debut on December 30.

Goulding definitely looked to be playing as free and easy as he has all year.

Conversely the best ball united played as a team was when Goudling missed the first 3 games (OKC + 2 in Adelaide).

Gives you hope that they can work it out but I would want Prather back, especially for play=offs.

Plus whenever he gets in a fix he reaches into his bag of tricks.

If I'm a Melbourne fan I don't want Prather coming back. Case in point tonight's game. Do not need the ball in another guy's hands. Too many cooks. Felix is a better shooter and perhaps a better defender.
