Not as deep as last two seasons but definitely the best top end talent they've had to date. Hopefully they click, especially two score first type guys in backcourt.

Could argue they are deeper this season - Kenyon, White and McDaniel replaced by Drmic, Madut and Deng. Kept defensive focus with more height and scoring ability.

Imports have Magette and Kelly replaced by Crawford and Lee while retaining Doyle.

Have played small for their first 2 seasons now have options of mixing it up. McVeigh, Krslovic and Macdonald solid. Bairstow occasional minutes.

Unknown is will Magnay get healthy and have some impact.

Yep Kenyon, White and McDaniel are big outs along with Magette who played smart and had a strong character but reckon the roster has been upgraded (with the knowledge other teams have as well!)

Didn't call anyone out by name, just amusing the Kings got triggered so badly by it

Bogut is always speaking out for the oppressed little guy, the Kings are no exception

Exclusive: Every NBL teams total spend

The NBL experienced an interesting phenomena over the 2022-23 season: the three teams that spent the most missed the playoffs, while the three teams that spent the least made it into the top-four.

Mate I have no problem with Tassie spending. Love what they have built and done, fans should be proud of them. Love the rivalry that has built between them and the Kings too.
I just find it amusing when certain clubs spend its they are trying to buy the league while other clubs spend and its all well and good.

apologies if i appeared defensive or whatever you'd like to call it.
just a passionate JJ's supporter lol.

Kings seem all for releasing clubs spending. Why would they if they were the ones killing the cap?

Nothing like a drive-by on Perth

Lovely bit of fishing by Coach Roth, usual suspects took the bait like marlins.

If people believe all teams have declared all their spending I have some land to sell.

For a club that was not named one has been prominent in responding to the fishing.

entertaining

The old “I wasn’t sooking I was fishing” defence.

He has mentioned the Kings many times in the past.

They have literally been the only ones calling for it all to be released.

I’m sorry that hurts your narrative of the Kings being the big bad of the NBL, but it’s true.
They spend nowhere near the most.
You think Cotton stayed for love? Or that Melbourne built those teams because players liked the coffee?
