Anonytroll(s) just making shit up again.
Perth could never have had Brandt off the bench behind an import. They need their backup centre to be cheap and fit within the bench-cap, and that was never going to happen with Brandt.
Brandt was out of contract, and for the money he was being offered elsewhere, Trev thought he could do better with an import.
With Kay coming off a great season, and that extra import slot available, it was an option Trev wanted to explore.
But as I said, I found it "interesting" that they claimed Trev was still talking to him.
And as I also said, being a local makes Brandt a valuable commodity. He's made it clear he won't return to the NBL unless the money is right, but if he did there would be several teams interested. It would be good to have him back at the Cats, but there is no indication that's going to happen.
Having to replace Kay with an import, and being an import spot down, mens we're basically down TWO spots. We need a local centre. As such Brandt becomes a valuable commodity. There's continued speculation Reath wants to exit his Serbian contract, but otherwise we're looking at trying to recycle a Veteran , or pluck a young guy from obscurity.
Depends on the direction Trev wants to go.
In the past he's been happy to play stretch-4s in the SF role, especially off the bench. But in recent seasons has pushed more towards a wing player with very good outside shooting.
The issue with a young guy is that they already have Lo Buluk, are looking to develop Travers, and probably another youngster as their next backup PG (Britt?)
I think there are other options, but things will become a lot clearer over the next week as free-agents are signed up.
If by "confirmed" you mean that The Worst has finally started reporting the bleeding obvious, instead of click-bait about Landale & Motum...
Interesting that they claim Trev is still talking to Brandt. It would be awesome to get him back. With Jook as backup, that would cover the 5 spot nicely.
Ideally we'd hope Cotton gets naturalised and we can chase an import SF.
Otherwise yes, we're looking for a local 3 or 2/3.
In this case school holidays aren't the problem - he would qualify for the age pension by now!
It's a sad reflection on our education system, when anonytrolls don't see the irony in attacking people just because they choose to use an identifying username.
Beat me to it - the sad little man has gone from stalking me to kr.
That's not how it works.
If Glover, or anyone else goes elsewhere, it will be because they got a better offer. End of story.
At the risk of pointing out the bleeding obvious, if they are intent on signing elsewhere due to aforementioned better offer, then they're not going to re-sign with the Hawks just because you say so.
If you argument is that Lamello would have offered them more money than Goorjan, well then I don't think any further reply is necessary.
I put it to you that Lavalle would have set the Hawks up for failure if he went with the same sh!t as last year.
If I may your honour, I submit states evidence #1.

Is Brandt really that good, yeah his good games are really impressive but so often he isn't worth his minutes. Ideally a full season of Plumlee has far more intrigue than known quantities such as Brandt and Terrico.

There's continued speculation Reath wants to exit his Serbian contract, but otherwise we're looking at trying to recycle a Veteran , or pluck a young guy from obscurity.
If Perth go for a local 3 man what names jump out other than Blanchfield?
Deng Adel likely to go Illawarra?
They could find another youngster and start Steindl.

I hope that we can find the best locals and maybe even a next star too would add further intrigue as would seeing what the young fellas do with their time on court.

Perth can, does, and has used TPs.
In addition to serving as Training opponents, they are often used as injury replacements.
Often they are just local guys from the SBL, but in recent years they've had DKD, Walker and then Dech as TPs.
Vague was still training with the Cats and would have continued if the Japanese or similar opportunity didn't come up.

Wow. What have I done to upset 'Knowledge Delayed' ?
No hiding from me, yes, I'm tight with the Lavalle's (it's spelt with an a not an e FTR) & am lucky to talk to a few people around the traps, but you're hating on our Mercury too?
Flinn wasn't coming back as head coach, there was going to be a HOF coaching director, then Flinny getting his second crack.
No other coach coulda done any better last season with all the cards Flinn got dealt.
Free agency wise, I'm all for Goorj, I was a Kings fan as a kid, but if the new Hawks are trying to win some local love, letting Angus leave for the PurpleFilth & not picking up Timmy (who was one of our best players last year) is a bad move.
AJ would be a very good back up centre at any club.
Blanchfield a good back up 3 at any club.
I love Emmett, though can't see him starting anywhere in the league.
Dech, great, hope we keep him, but he's a tweener, not really a 1 or a 2, but a really good defender & effort kind of guy.
Froling's got a high ceiling & had a disrupted year. Not a starter yet, but could be an NBL starter in a year or so.
If we end up with Brandt, Adel, + 2 quality imports, I'm stoked, but we're crazy if we don't snap up Gus ASAP.

Apart from the local free agent hawks
I thought Kenny was solid off the bench for cairns.
I think Hickey deserves more time at sem too from a dp.
Interested to se where j.white goes, both Melbourne teams need him.

It seems as though Knowledge Delayed is a very pleasant, forum-friendly human being that confusingly claims to be a Hawks fan.
Outside of a starting 5 of 2 imports & a couple of top shelf locals, who are the best budget local free agents still out there?
Assuming Coenraad is playing on, he'd be an asset for any team.

I think I speak for most Hawks Fans when I say how bitterly disappointed I am with the appointment of Brian Goorjan. Seriously, these new owners are clueless. We had a great thing going and they rooned it.
The whole point of being a Hawks fan, is being able to constantly bitch and moan, without actually going to games or supporting the team in any way.
FFS, if they stop being an embarrassment, then we lose our excuse for not going to games.
If this shit is allowed to continue, they're going to start winning games, and people will have to start buying fucking tickets. Where does it end?
Before ya know it, they'll be in the damn play-offs and we'll have to fork out for more tickets.

When the Hawks went into VA,all current contracts were all void. When the NBL took over the ownership they offered contracts to the players it affected (Dech, Froling & Glover). The new ownership which took over from NBL have been quoted that the contract offers are still on the table for these players during free agency

I can't believe people are whinging about the new owners already.
Flinn's last NBL season = Wooden spoon
Goorjian's last NBL season = Championship
If you don't know anything about Goorjian he's got standards he's not going to sign some scrubs just because they're local hell the team are just called the Hawks now if that wasn't enough of a give away about where their future lies.

Lavalle was going with the existing coach and had new assistant coaches ready. The players were training at the snake pit under Flinn. All has stopped and players agents are looking elsewhere. The whole thing is set to fail

I'm super disappointed as a Hawks fan right now. I don't want to hear excuses from the new ownership group. I want answers!
The Lavalle-Ball crew had it all sorted, players, trainings, coaching staff, etc. etc. yet LK went the other way & apart from delivering us Goorjian, seems like the only thing else we're getting is a big fat duck egg full of excuses right now : (
