NBL OffSeason

[Morenito]

Just thought id start a thread on the NBL offseason and changes

Brisbane look to have a new starting lineup of Rucker (re-signed 1 year), Black (re-signed 2 years), Mckinnon( 2 or 3 Years) Brennen and Bradkte (2 years). Plus add Copeland to that whos rumored to be signed and you got a super squad.

SYdney on the other hand have resigned or signed CJ Bruton(3years) Jason Smith (3 Years) Roland Roberts ( 2 Years), WOrthington (Boomers trainon squad member from US collage to 3 year contract), Martin (2 years) to go along with Barlow, Kendell, Knight, and Possibly Wheeler and Sheridan or instead of those guys another import.

I think these 2 will once again be the early season favourites

Breaking News has come about tonight that Simon Dwight may retire.

Row looms over Dwight contract
By Tim Morrissey
July 7, 2005

WEST Sydney Razorbacks have written to seven-year star Simon Dwight urging him to retire - but deny they will sack him.

West Sydney chief executive Robbie Cadee confirmed the club had sent the letter to Dwight, but denied it was basically a notice of termination.

Dwight has been plagued by knee injuries and it has restricted his ability to train with teammates in the lead-up to games.

"Simon's got to decide what he's doing, whether he's going to be retiring or not," Cadee said. "We've been told by our medical staff that his knees are shot and that he's got to consider retiring because they just can't treat him any more and they are worried about long-term damage."

However, Dwight was still a force in the NBL last season, averaging 16 points and 11 rebounds a game for West Sydney - which is above his career figures over 314 games of 14.9 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game.

Dwight has approached and secured the full support of the NBL Players Association, which is affiliated with the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance union.

MEAA representative Peter Moscat yesterday told The Daily Telegraph the matter was now in the hands of the lawyers.

"Without going into Simon's contract our legal people think he's got a very, very strong case and we are willing to back him all the way," Moscat said. "As far as we are concerned there is a contract there to be honoured.

"This has got to stop in basketball. You just can't cut players willy-nilly."

Cadee said he was unsure how Dwight's retirement for medical reasons would leave the club's contractual obligations but he was adamant Dwight had not been cut.

"The last thing I said to Simon is, 'Mate, you've got a contract but I don't know whether it will stand if you retire. But you need to go away and obviously think about it'." Moscat and the MEAA's legal representatives will sit down with Cadee on Monday to discuss Dwight's position.

He was a founding member of the West Sydney tea, and will be sadly missed by all the fans esecially myself and buddies who are season members in the SDS (Simon Dwight Stand)
