Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2024

[one-eyed]

Any rumours about us trying to poach Cadman can be put to bed.

-------

GWS has received a huge boost with No.1 draft pick Aaron Cadman signing a two-year contract extension.

According to the BF Tigercast:

* In the market for a marquee player (Ben King is one of four names).

* Cadman was "a plan B".

* Ben King hasn't resigned. If he doesn't sign by June/July then he's gone (out of the Suns). Caveat is Hardwick was the bloke who was selling Richmond to him but is now the one who is going to try to convince him to stay at the Suns.

* Still in the market for a winger. A priority. 

* We do a three-year cycle. After getting one target, we do one year of nothing, one year of building capital, then a year of going hunting.

I’m not that impressed by king at all.

[WilliamPowell]

Very convenient that it's said Cadman was only plan B ... after he re-signed

I’m the opposite
Reckon he has superstar potential

Fair dinkum if anyone believes that flog on Bigfruity they need their head read.

TIger 71 knew about Hopper before anyone else but that was the first "scoop" that the flog got right in a decade.....

(literally - his last correct mail before that was that we we're going to take Vlastuin with our first pick in the 2012 draft... )

Ben King is poised to re-sign with Gold Coast as the Suns set themselves for a charge towards a maiden finals berth.

While there is no agreement on finances yet, King will commit to a two-year deal that will carry him through to free agency eligibility at the end of 2026.

Looks like another name to cross off.

Was always going to re-sign, even more so after they appointed Dimma

[Simonator]

Not phased if we never get him, don't rate him personally. Would love to try and target our own KPF in the draft either via trade for picks or whatever. We need our own replacement for Jack like he was for Richo

[Damo]

Not phased if we never get him, don't rate him personally.

I reckon he could be absolutely anything. Such a huge talent.

Or absolutely nothing !!!

[MintOnLamb]

I wouldn’t be giving anything up for King, too inconsistent, injury prone and I think, mentally not up to it
