Kings 1st team in NBL history to top ladder all season

Dazz isn't the only dickhead on the forum.
Perthworld and Reality are also complete tossers.

^ Thanks Dazz's mum

It’s easier to obtain $4mil than high speed internet in this country

Don't forget the time they brought in Cotton late season to save their precious GF appearance run.

"Perth logic: Sydney have a 4 million dollar budget.

Pays out Hunt and signs an NBA guy for $50k per month"

Don't forget the time they brought in Cotton late season to save their precious GF appearance run.

Perth don’t have a salary, they all play for free.

Perth to win with the lowest salary ever.

Kings will do the Collingwood cobbliwobbles.
Bogut and newly to struggle over 5 games. Perth with younger legs to strike again. Cairns depth will hurt them.
If NZ can make they are my dark horse.
Could be the tighest most exciting series ever. Hope goes max games.

While salaries are talked about:

“In April of last year, Kelly revealed a group of wealthy sponsors put together an offer, including cash outside of the salary cap, to help retain reigning club MVP Trimble, but it was still not enough.”

“ Australian hoops broadcasting doyen John Casey revealed during Saturday night’s game against Adelaide that Cairns had offered the biggest contract in club history to retain American point guard Machado.”

"Where do you get the $4million figure from?"

I think this was a figure mentioned by Joey Wright when he was asked how do you catch the Kings?

Cheers Koberulz. You are one of m yg favourite posters.
You're never wrong and you shit on people that are :)

“Seriously dude, you need to come up with a new angle. We've won 4 out of the last 6 titles, and are in the mix again.”

Seriously dude ?! Lol you haven’t won anything. You support a team. You didn’t actually win anything right? You perf people can be so dumb.
“We make a difference , we have 13k, we cheer the ball in blah blah” lol

Dazz sounds like a 12 year old haha


Well done to Sydney, they made good moves across the board during the off-season.

Adelaide didn't top the table until round four in 1986, per NBL Facts.

Great effort by the whole Sydney organisation. Didn't quite have daylight second but tough to do in an even comp like the NBL.

They did top the table but it was 1986 so only fossil 36er fans care.

How do you know the ‘86 Sixers team didn’t top the table the entire season? They did go 24-2!

Cook came in and did what Moller was doing, Cook took a few more boards and Moller a few more points. Both play D, are exceptional athletes with high IQ,I’m hoping they get out there together, kings D will enormous. United had Moller and he helped win them a premiership, only get less minutes the second year, he was allowed to leave United and Weaver pounced. Melbourne don’t like younger players or giving them a go, strange.

Bogut is a Melbourne boy, and it's on the public record that he met with United before meeting with Sydney

Hardly pie in the sky stuff to suggest he could've well ended up with United!

Honestly what is the point of dreaming of who you want to insert into last year's line up.

Why stop at Bogut?

If only Kyrie was at Melbourne, this year they would have got DeAndre and KD35 to come as well.

[He would have been a perfect fit for United with Barlow more suited to a bench role how and Long needing a solid rebounding 4 to help out.]

Spot on, that's the 2nd Sydney signing that United should've got.

Bogut being the first.

If they'd got Bogut they would've won last year, and if they'd then kept Casper and signed Cooks they'd be going back to back.

Such is life!

Let's give Kings some props for turning it around from the Gaze era.

Credit should be due considering the following :
- They found a much better coach.
- They found Tate.
- They took Ware off their biggest threat.
- Bruce has flourished.
- They successfully got Lazada as a next star and Didi is very servicable.
- They recruited Xavier Cooks who is playing very well in Bogut's load management time.
- They got Deshon Taylor who is shooting the lights out right now.

Setting aside the perceived salary and the 4 imports issue, they have done the RIGHT things to win.

Sixers fans...don't you wish our management would do HALF the above?? Just half?

Very good recruiting. I find it amazing that they were able to add Xavier Cooks to what was already a very deep and talented roster. In retrospect it's a surprise others didn't chase him very hard and offer a better package. He would have been a perfect fit for United with Barlow more suited to a bench role how and Long needing a solid rebounding 4 to help out.

What rumour about the kings, you are full of shit as usual.

Anyone not going for Cairns if their own team isn't in the top four is a bum.

Perth fans so butt hurt lol
Perth logic: we beat Sydney 3-1, don’t need home court we’ll win.

Fails to realise they have cairns and lost 1-2 including a whopping at home!

Perth logic: Sydney have a 4 million dollar budget.

Pays out Hunt and signs an NBA guy for $50k per month

9 titles :)

Yeah that was overzealous criticism

If the kings are spending more that’s great, hopefully they can start to catch up to Perth who have always bought their premierships.

I'm not a Sydney fan at all but my goodness #212 Is a fucken idiot.

Where do you get the $4million figure from?

#212
You have proof of all this off course and you are going to share it with us.

Cairns won't beat Perth.

1986 still history but it's hardly recent.

Way back in 1986. Lol.
Kings have lead the way but as others have alluded to it won't mean anything unless they win the title.

I think we will no more about Cairns this weekend, go into Melbourne and beat United will tell us they are the real deal. Sydney will suddenly have Bogut, Moller, Didi back, so plenty of depth. Cook, Moller and Tate is a defensive juggernaut, long, fast and athletic and can guard 1 to 5. Lisch back is also a great positive. If kings can get the offensive side of there game going they should be tough to beat.

I still remember the 73-9 Warriors dominant all year but not winning when it mattered.

Anyone not going for Cairns if their own team isn't in the top four is a bum.

Hopefully they'll add another record to this being the first team in NBL history to top the ladder all season AND not be Champions.

After reading some of the posts from the sixers meeting and the artcile in the paper today I'm getting worried that 36ers management haven't totally dismissed the idea of Marty coaching again next year.
The paper article indicates players signed for next year all support marty.
My question to everybody would be what would your reaction be if Marty is resigned next year?
