Vicko on Overtime

To explain to those that don't quite understand what Vicko was talking about, it wasn’t in relation to them not being able to sign them, it’s more that teams have been hesitant to take on liabilities (contractual debt) before there is a league start date, as they would have to pay the players monthly without knowing is a season would commence. This is why they weren’t in a position to offer them one.

But that's not what he said. He rabitted on blaming it on the delayed start to Free-Agency.
And besides, it doesn't make any sense. Any existing contracted player is already a so-called "liability" and some teams already have several. Whilst we may not know exactly what the competition will look like, and it may be subject to change if there are 3rd & 4th waves, a couple of extra weeks isn't going to change that.

In relation to the Boomers comment, it’s also to protect the privacy of the players going through there, so take that into consideration.

Sometimes there’s only a certain amount they can say. What you can take from it all is that Goulding will he seeking a European deal for the coming season, hence, not signing him either.

He also said he was watching the Boomers training, but when asked about who, he said "Andersen was working out with Goorj". WTF?

Perth Wildcats star centre Matt Knight has re-signed with the club for a further three seasons in a deal that will see him wear a Wildcats singlet until at least the end of the 2015/16 NBL season.

Knight picked up numerous accolades throughout the 2013 season, including finishing runner-up in the Wildcats MVP, being named in the All-NBL first team and voted as the starting centre in the All-Star game, reaffirming his status as the League’s premier big man.

The 27-year-old says he's excited to re-sign with the ‘Cats and the decision to stay in Perth was an easy one.

“I’ve loved Perth for three years and I wanted to continue to be here,” said Knight.

“The facilities are first class and we’re playing in front of 13,000 people at the Arena. I feel that the Wildcats are starting to build on something special and I want to be part of that.”

Knight played 27 games in 2012/13 and hopes to win a championship that has so far eluded him in his 129-game NBL career.

“Personally, I want to build on what I’ve done so far, help win a championship and continue to bring success to the club,” said Knight.
