Tell you what, they’d want to win some early games in the new season or the fans in the West are going to string up everyone involved with the Wildcats. I’ve never seen so many angry supporters of their own club as they are right now. Makes the Sixers supporters anger over Scott Ninnis look pedestrian.Gozu wrote:It looks a bit ordinary but could be changed the following year.

We've had a few shockers at the Sixers. The Adelaide street map jersey wasn't too flash.
I hear you and expect the Wildcats will be right up there again this season. The only positive in Cotton's departure was you can only have a combination of four imports and 'marquee' players, a player designated by their team as a 'marquee' means only about $150k of their salary counts against the salary cap. Cotton, because he bungled his naturalisation attempt back in 2021, is still an import and because of that the Wildcats could never 'marquee' his contract which restricted the talent they could put around him salary cap wise. Teams can go over the cap but then have to pay a luxury tax to do so. I think the Wildcats will now be able to field a more balanced team rather than being so Cotton-heavy.LaughingKookaburra wrote:Tell you what, they’d want to win some early games in the new season or the fans in the West are going to string up everyone involved with the Wildcats.

On paper that’s as good starting 5 that’s ever played in the NBL. Feel this is the origin of the NBL taking the next step in Australia. Clubs spending huge $ and making it genuinely one of the worlds best leagues behind the NBA.Gozu wrote:ESPN's Olgun Uluc is reporting the 36ers have signed import PF Zylan Cheatham who played for the NZ Breakers in 23-24 where he averaged 15 & 7.

I would ask is it sustainable though? Really does feel like an arms race has kicked off this off-season.LaughingKookaburra wrote:On paper that’s as good starting 5 that’s ever played in the NBL.

The money in most sports are through TV rights, advertising etc. Put on a good product and hopefully that will followGozu wrote:I would ask is it sustainable though?

That's the big thing at the moment why a few NBL team owners are taking Larry Kestelman to court led by the Illawarra Hawks billionaire American owner Jared Novelly.Jim05 wrote:The money in most sports are through TV rights, advertising etc. Put on a good product and hopefully that will follow

They better bloody win the title!Brodlach wrote:So had their salary spend
Worth every cent
I really think this is the birth of a new era in the NBL and soft caps will explode over the next 2-3 years. The NBL is doing exactly what Football Australia should have done with the A League 12-13 years ago and now FA has completely stuffed it up. NBL popularity in this country is about to explode and become a big money spinner with all the private owners coming in. Adelaide have made some pretty bloody good investments financially over the last 5-6 years and whilst it hasn’t turned into on court success (Yet) you can’t argue that they aren’t investing into their fans over the last 2 years in particular.amber_fluid wrote:They better bloody win the title!Brodlach wrote:So had their salary spend

Then it’ll be worth every cent spent.
As long as the beer prices don’t go up too!
