I think we should go to three imports per team to reflect NBL rules (and stats/playing minutes for those imports). But we may need to change the keeper rules to ensure sufficient local players are in...
In a world where there was an unlimited salary cap, that could be possible.
But its not.
I think long-term, the Breakers will roll-out a PG duo of Tai Webster and Shea Ili, and that'll be quite...

Nick Kay likely to Wollongong.
Finding an import PG is do-able, and the chances of finding a MVP-caliber player are slim (but is the equivalent of finding a new import in general). Its just that the Breakers shouldn't be going...
So based on Hoops rumours, Brisbane's roster looks like this:
Jervis/Petrie
Kickert/Young
Craig*/???
???/???
Gibson/Bruce
With an import to get. Lemanis has said he would only get 2 imports...
Coaches are all from the Breakers environment.
Paul Henare's the head coach (current Tall Blacks coach), Judd Flavell's the lead assistant (coaching Southland Sharks in the NZNBL) and Mike...
Pledger's returning on a 3-year deal (after the Bullets pursued him). If he doesn't incur another injury between now and next season, maaybe he'll be able to play a consistent 25 minutes a game and...
I've heard Nick Kay's name as one bandied about.. Could he be a 5 option for the Bullets?
Intrigued to see which positions the imports will play. I presume Richard Clarke's going to use the same...
Lisch must've been the beneficiary of the 'marquee non-restricted' player cap. Now Sydney need to release what he's making.
There's one rule I don't understand - the aggregate $400K rule. The rule reads as though any 5 players on a team cannot have a combined salary of $400K (so any starters or any bench guys put...
So realistically, is this the squad?
Bogut / Andersen
Baynes / Bairstow / Motum or Jawai
Ingles / Broekhoff
Delly / Newley / Goulding
Mills / Lisch (Delly as backup PG)
For non-Perth/NZ fans, the Finals series could've been a chore. There was some good stretches of Game 1, the last 5 minutes of Game 2 were great but the rest was tough, and the Breakers didn't show...
Or Sunday's the day where we confirm our status over the NBL in the 2010's and repeat what happened in 2013 ;)
Well.. Looks like the travel's going to show for Game Three.
The Breakers could've choked that a few times, but some big shots by Abercrombie and Webster turned the tables. Mika was big as usual,...
I was hoping for changes to the schedule if Perth won..
But that ain't happening now. Sigh.
Ili's a DP. McDonald is the backup PG, but he looked lost in the first few games (and playing him more than 10+ mins was costly early on)
Melbourne looked soft and Majok/Kickert couldn't box out on the defensive glass. Vukona at 100% is quite a defensive player and Pledger makes a difference on the defensive end.
By the way, was the...
This sounds exactly like Sky Sport in NZ. Overpriced, offering $20 day passes or season passes to rugby/league for at least $300 a pop, subpar Internet apps (with no synchronising feature to...
Hawks are the best team of the 3 - they have the highest peak, especially with Martin coming back. I don't want to see that gunslinging Martin-Penney-Lisch trio in the playoffs.
Damian Cotter sacked according to Boti Nagy. Not sure if I should be surprised or not..
Another Perth vs NZ GF would be a 'flip the bird' move at Sydney and Melbourne - but wouldn't that be great.
NZ are in form, the Prather vs Webster battle is going to be amazing. Charles Jackson...
The Breakers shouldn't have been in the game in the first place - the Kings' defensive rebounding in the first half meant the Breakers were chucking shots knowing there was a guaranteed 2pts by...
Is that the same guy who mentioned the Goulding flop?
Great commentary, appreciated the interpretation of the rulebook here. The fouls didn't occur simultaneously from my view, they were...
But aside from the ref blunder, the other 39 minutes and 50 seconds was some beautiful basketball from both sides. Runs and constant comebacks. Multiple offensive threats, some tight defense, clear...
