If it goes through, I really hope he doesn’t fu** the club around and respects its history and what it means to the ‘gong.![]()
Aussie league: Sale of team to LaMelo not done
LaMelo Ball played only 12 games in Australia, but he is now linked to the NBL after potentially buying the Illawarra Hawks with his manager, Jermaine Jackson.www.espn.com
Considering the current owner, he couldn’t do worse.If it goes through, I really hope he doesn’t fu** the club around and respects its history and what it means to the ‘gong.
New Latin motto: manere in laneThe Illawarra Melos
So I think it’s safe assume that Melo has put his hand up as one potential new owner.![]()

Yeah that would be a great idea .... the guy that owns the league owns (or at least "owns") United so why not have 1 guy own 2 teamsHaven’t listened to it yet but according to the NBL pocketpod supposedly the Kings owner Paul Smith tried to buy the Hawks but was rejected.

I’ve listened to the pod and supposedly the NBL wasn’t a fan of 1 bloke owning 2 teams in the 1 state (don’t know if it would change if he tried to own another team in a different state).Yeah that would be a great idea .... the guy that owns the league owns (or at least "owns") United so why not have 1 guy own 2 teams![]()
Explains why he wanted Hawks fan to come cheer for the Kings in Sydney.Haven’t listened to it yet but according to the NBL pocketpod supposedly the Kings owner Paul Smith tried to buy the Hawks but was rejected.

Doubt it.would he try and relocate it ?
He's a 'Gong boy, so it's doubtful.would he try and relocate it ?
It was always going to happen. He chose to burn his bridges at the 36ers.Kevin White is now a free agent after agreeing to being released by the 36ers.
Im shocked after what happened in February......
There'll be another team next season. He may get lucky.It was always going to happen. He chose to burn his bridges at the 36ers.
I’d be surprised if another club will take the risk of signing him up given his conduct at the end of the season.
It's not as if he was one the out and out must have stars of the competition where you get to forgive some attitude issues.It was always going to happen. He chose to burn his bridges at the 36ers.

Didnt know he was co-captainIt's not as if he was one the out and out must have stars of the competition where you get to forgive some attitude issues.
He was very much a bottom of the rotation. 2 points per game, few minutes of relief per game, 33 year old in an average team sort of guy.
I'd be stunned if he stays in the NBL.
Was that a statement or a question?Didnt know he was co-captain
California high school star Jalen Green, the No. 1 prospect in the 2020 ESPN 100, is making the leap to a reshaped NBA professional pathway program -- a G League initiative that sources say will pay elite prospects $500,000-plus and provide a one-year development program outside of the minor league's traditional team structure.
Green -- a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft -- announced Thursday that he is bypassing college to become the professional pathway's first participant, a decision that likely clears the way for more commitments from elite prospects.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver and G League president Shareef Abdur-Rahim have worked to eliminate two massive hurdles to convincing players uninterested in college basketball to pass on the lucrative National Basketball League of Australia by providing a massive salary increase and a structure that doesn't include playing full time in the G League.
