SE Melbourne Phoenix Roster

If I'm Delly, and I don't pick up another contract, this would be a great fit. The guys been overseas since he was 18 at college, he's made, what $35m(?) off his most recent contract, so going to Europe for money wouldn't be a necessity, recently married, and could return back to his home state and be a foundation/marquee type player.
It's a good situation in my eyes.

Just my view.

Get Aussies who will stay for years and build a stable team.

Recruit imports that fill the holes.

If Xavier Cooks returns, surely it would be with Illawarra or Sydney?

Cooks another forward off the bench.

Would love to see Madgen and Motum back in the league. Not sure how feasible it is but the more good Euro based Aussies we get returning, the stronger and deeper our national comp becomes.

pretty much all of that roster you listed are not currently in the league, but I expect a decent amount of the Phoenix roster to be made from players currently in the league, similar to how Brisbane formed their roster 2 years ago.

If they can somehow lure Delly back, you just know the NBL is going to market the shit out of "THE CURRY STOPPER" for a good 3-4 months to try and attract the casual fans hahaha

It's Fantasy. Pass.

That guy from the First Ever ads looks like he can ball and he clearly hates wearing other teams uniforms because he has his heart set on signing with the Phoenix. Make it happen Phoenix.

Phil Jackson says "there might be" an NBA job that would lure him out of retirement.
The 11-time NBA champion coach tells HBO's "Real Sports" that the Knicks and Magic openings this offseason were not the positions to bring him back to the bench. In an interview scheduled to air Tuesday night, Jackson confirms that New York, where he started his playing career, didn't contact him before removing the interim tag from Mike Woodson's title, but "I wasn't going to take the job, that's for sure."
Jackson calls the Knicks' roster "clumsy" because their players "don't fit well together."
Amare Stoudemire needs "to play in a certain system and a way," he said. "Carmelo (Anthony) has to be a better passer. The ball can't stop every time it hits his hands."
Asked whether that's the sort of situation he's successfully turned around in the past, Jackson says: "Yeah. Well, it didn't happen."
Jackson says he wasn't interested in Orlando because it's too far from his Montana home.
The 66-year-old says he's feeling better physically after knee replacement surgery in March. Jackson resigned from the Lakers for the second time after last season.



I would really like him to return, but which situation would give him (and the triangle offense) a place to succeed again?!?!?
