The NBL import roundabout


Following on from my last post about Julius Hodge leaving the Adelaide 36ers, I read today that they (Adelaide) have just signed Rod Grizzard. Grizzard was recently released from the Melbourne Tigers to make way for (ex-Tiger) Dave Thomas who was released from the Cairns Taipans when their financial woes came to light. Its good to see the NBL teams are sharing the import talent around! Click on the title below to read the full story.

The Adelaide 36ers have signed sacked Melbourne Tigers import Rod Grizzard, bringing to an end a successful but dramatic week down at the Distinctive Homes Dome.

Grizzard, who is due to arrive in Adelaide from America on Monday, will replace Julius Hodge who sensationally walked out of the club before the team's game against Wollongong on Wednesday.

It's believed Hodge left the club because of a delay in one of his monthly payments.

A tentative Adelaide coach Scott Ninnis tapped his desk in a gesture of good luck when he confirmed the Sixers' deal with Grizzard.
