Rolan Roberts.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm. At least he's a big black man.
Roster should be reasonable if we can keep Homicide.

Homicide is back in the 'Ville! baby 
36ers are testing out John Gilchrist?
IIRC that's the dude who was once projected a 1st round draft pick in the NBA, and then got his coach and team mates to start hating him, where he then became undrafted.

That's him. Regardless of his coach issues, on talent alone he was never really a 1st round guy. Will be a good pick up for the 36ers, reasonable but not great at everything. I do remember him in the ACC tourney where he had something like 20-10-8 to lead the terps over a far superior Duke team in OT. Whoever's running the 36ers obviously has an understanding of the concept ACC tourney MVP = NBL superstud first with Hodge, now Gilchrist

I'll miss Cat
Two seasons, I think. Will be a good additionDarnell Mee has confirmed he wont be playing for Cairns next year. Taipans coach Aaron Fearne said this week they were keen to look to youth rather than re-sign Mee. I think he's 37/38 (give or take) these days.. He is reportedly looking into getting a coaching gig. Best of luck to him. Was a great player for us
Grabau has resigned for the Taipans & Phil Jones is another new addition. Sure to bring some experience.

Cairns has signed 29 year old import Rich Melzer. Averaged 18.6 ppg & 7.4 rpg in his only NBL season with the Breakers in the 05/06 season. I think he's been at the Spurs since.
Taipans starting to look like having a decent squad. Hopefully we can improve on last year. (Shouldn't be too hard)

Adelaide signs Cortez Groves
and this
Read this article in today's The Age:
"BASKETBALL Australia boss Larry Sengstock has boldly declared there will be Sydney and Brisbane teams in the National Basketball League by this time next year."
"A grassroots bid backed by Basketball Queensland appears to be that state's best hope of NBL involvement. BA is seeking a more corporate-style presence in Sydney."
As pointed out in a few other threads, talk has been quiet on the Sydney front, but here is some positive signs...
Can it be done? I think the Brisbane option is more likely. Do Sydney deserve a team?

Even if half of them are ****ing Breakers games.
Still, as someone who gets to see their team once (twice if I'm lucky) a season - I can't really complain with the coverage.

That will only happen with their home games – so 11 game.
Away games are not covered by their TV network or foxtel unless it’s a foxtel game of the week.
Thanks to the great man's blog - "No more Steve Carfino on fox sports coverage of NBL"

They should have Andrew Gaze, Bruce Palmer and Simon Kerle do the call by call.

NBL signs a major sponsor in OAMPS Insurance, and apparently Dwayne Russell, Brian Taylor, Shane Heal and Andrew Gaze are your commentators for this upcoming season.
NBL coverage now based out of Melbourne HQ seems to have given these guys a gig on the NBL.

So Boti in the Adelaide whatever today said
Here we are: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,25953971-5006371,00.html
that the sponsorship deal from OAMPS is only for the league, but isnt a naming rights sponsor ala 'Mitsubishi Challenge' so the NBL should be announcing a naming rights sponsor soon.
More cash in the coffers at the NBL. OAMPS also offers a variety of insurance options and will invest in NBL programs such as in Darwin.
Hmmm, if only we had 3 more teams in the league I'd like where this all was headed.
New NBL website to be launched next week as well I believe, which is rather necessary as the season is 5 weeks away now.
