Sixers to sign Vin Baker!!??

Isaac, yes I think Holmes can play the four, but I think he's more damaging elsewhere. Oscar is the same: he can play the four but causes more match up difficulties for other teams at the three, where he has the pace to defend a small forward, and at the same time causes a problem for most small forwards in the league who can't prevent him from getting his jumper off. Also, I think Holmes is too good a passer to be playing the four. All of the suggestions on my previous post follow the theme of us getting bigger, not smaller, which moving Holmes to the 4 would do. It's one of the things that makes it difficult for us when playing Melbourne or Sydney, in that we start those games down 15 on the rebound count. To me though, it isn't at the 3 or the 4 that we are getting beaten. We are weak in the middle, and that has been shown up more than in the past because Farley has played little perimeter defence.

It would be a shame to lose Dusty Rychart, who manages to post 20 and 10 even when he's playing like crap, especially for a guy who is a hundred years old, overweight, and NOT A CENTRE, as is the case with Vin Baker.

Isaac is right about someone like Eversteyn. Though I still don't see why we don't chase Jason Dix. Who cares if he hardly trains? It never used to bother the club when Darren Ng was on the roster. They should be able to work something out for Dix where by he can keep the job he has PLUS play NBL.

Giving up Dusty to get a centre would probably mean Jacob or Oscar moving to the 4 and that won't work either. It will just create a hole at a different part of the key.

The problem is Farley's two year deal. If they could cut him to get a centre then they could move Maher to the point, Jacob to the 2, bring Oscar in as the 3, Dusty the 4, then whoever after that.

All that said, if Hunter is in financial trouble, then Adelaide should be all over Gordie Cullen. Larry Davidson would also be a good fit in Adelaide.

Is there any word of the cap increasing for next season? In every other industry you can expect a pay rise each year to atleast help compensate for inflation. In the NBL it seems players are continuously being asked to take pay cuts.

I can just imagine them applying for a housing loan and saying to the Bank Manager "I need a loan that will allow me to reduce my repayments each year because my salary is going to decrease".

That's funny Isaac, they're my stats also. And everyone else who hasn't played in the NBA.
