The Bear is back!
Sourbroker. Correct they won't be back. But the reason they won't be back has zero to do with the company not making money due to covid.


MCR is the guy wrapped up with LaMelo's bid and they weren't selected as owners, so can understand why he'd grumble and bail.
Can't believe it only just occurred to me that the dropping of "Illawarra" is likely to enable them to relocate the team down the track. I imagine it's already planned with the new owners.

#074 100% correct.
If my information is anywhere near correct I believe the US part owners are ringing him as well as BG. This bloke is big time, employs hundreds of people, owns race horses etc., there are a few others and most people close in the basketball community in the Illawarra know this. I know a few people in the Illawarra and the all spin the same line.

Yep, good signing, nice to see him back in the league. Will be interesting to see how he's used, and how many minutes he plays.
Hawks continuing to assemble a good squad, could be very competitive.

Couple of comments. Awesome signing. I don't think we have seen the best of Bairstow, he has been plagued with injuries for much of his NBL career.
Froling is not a starter YET. BG will be great for his career development but it will be a bridge too far at this stage. End of the season come playoffs then it is conceivable that could change.
BG hinted on ABC Radio that there is another big Australian as in size to come. Could be the re-signing of AJ might not be. Could be DA? I think they could still do with a Next Star big or possibly a 3.

They could win it and be back in administration again. All the previous sponsors are not renewing, got to do with the name change I’m led to believe.

Decent team coming together and the GOAT coach at the helm.
Exciting times for Hawks fans.

If the Hawks and 36ers can get stud imports, it will be a very even league! If either team don't get stud imports/good import combinations, they'll be a step behind the rest IMO.
There's talent on both sides that can do a lot of damage (Adel, Johnson etc) with some youth that can do damage as well. That veteran leadership, x factor import(s) is what they will really need to make a push for top 4
