So SHP has done a total reshuffle of the roster.

It's strange ... The purchase of the high salaried 27 and 30 year olds suggests trying to compete and win now and over the next 3-5 seasons, but the big "fire sale" suggests trying to bottom out and rebuild.

I'm curious what's next, I'm thinking we're not yet done with the turnover and particularly the new acquisitions to this club. I think maybe he's trying to prioritise something in his new players that might not have been there or as carefully planned with the old roster, maybe?

If I had to judge it purely on the players in vs players out now, I'd say Surry is playing to retain ABBL position now and wait for the trio of Koop/HBG/WA to decline somewhat. It's basically what I'm doing too. But the salaries of the two recent acquisitions make me believe they are all-in, but haven't found a supporting cast to invest in yet. Could put them on the back foot if it takes too long for the right players to hit the market.

Your speculation is pretty close.

The guys I let go had basically topped out and weren't going to cut it and had hit the sweet spot for selling to get reasonable value. The top guns have some pretty heavy salaried guys and will be hard to overcome.

It's a chess game and includes a bit of luck, TBH I just love a competitive game and hope some scouting and tactics provide some upsets.

I wish I could call starting the season 10-0 a failure.

What was the point of Melbourne North End throwing against HBG if Pete was just going to throw the cup game against me anyway XD

This draft doesn't seem to be too productive in terms of 5/5 A+ 18 year olds.

In fact, i think there's only one. There is 4 18 y/olds i haven't scouted though.
