2025-26 NBL Season + Off-season news

Save when DJV goes, I hear he was a big distraction in the locker room

His podcast slip was no slip

Craig and Kuol won’t come cheap

I was a fan of DJ as he did things differently

[Gozu]

DJV was on pretty good money and Jenkins with all his NBA experience wouldn't have been cheap, plus we bought out his contract in Romania too.

Bring in Joey Ingles also since money is no issue here and bring on the 27 season

[Gozu]

Looks like Ingles is likely to sign with Melb United.

Given the money he’s earnt he ain’t coming here for an extra $100-200k
Surely it’s Melbourne as has been mentioned in the media

[Gozu]

Not much in the way of signings for the first day of free agency today and no one has changed teams yet.

Perth Wildcats have re-signed Elijah Pepper to a 2 year deal.

Brisbane Bullets have re-signed Sam McDaniel to a 2 year deal.

Sydney Kings have re-signed Keli Leaupepe to a 2 year deal.

We would be the last team he’d play for, he cannot stand the 36ers. Stems from his junior days

Bul Kuol officially signed, will be a great fit if he has overcome his injury

Badly needed a defensive player

Badly needed a defensive player

Not sure he’s the missing piece but will be a good depth player
He won’t be in our starting 5

I think he is more than depth. We don’t need another scorer, we need someone who defends and clears space

I think we do need another scorer though as we can’t keep relying on Bryce
That was so evident in game 1 and 3 of the GF

[Brodlach]

A decent third import

Can DJV come back now Wells is gone?
He is still here and hasn’t left for NZ yet

He's already signed with the Breakers.

Looks like my last few posts about Wells, Vickerman and Krebs have been excised.

Anyway Wells gone rumours are Gleeson or Vickerman and SEM signed Tanner Krebs for 2 years.
