The unthinkable has happened. Reportedly signed with the Adelaide 36ers. Fans are going beserk but I’m not surprised. Wildcats have never been the same since Trevor Gleeson and Jack Bendat departed.
Apparently Bryce played under the Adelaide coach when he was an assistant at the Utah Jazz. He owes the Wildcats nothing. But where he’s put egg on his face is when he said if he came back to the NBL he wouldn’t play for a rival team.
Frees up huge money for the Wildcats to find another high class point guard. Apparently they’ve been talking to Patty Mills. That would be awesome if they can get him.
I think firstly Bryce Cotton served Perth exceptionally well and really when you look at it roundly - he probably deserves the choice of where he wants to finish his career.
It now appears the overseas deal fell through badly for him and then players agents had feet in the door before Perth could get moving fast enough.
He’ll smash Perth at some stage very soon we can count on that and this is how sport goes these days , there’s no such thing as loyalty or a contract when it all boils down to shitcakes.
The story they are keeping quiet here in Australia is the Adelaide 36ers big ex NBA centre Montrezl Harrell is one of two players in China that’s tested positive for essentially cannabis or a derivative of it from what I can gather.
I first heard this guy might not yet make it to Adelaide yet during the NBL Blitz and it’s just been reported in the NBL app that there “an issue” over in China. That’ll be a big blow for the 36ers if he can’t play.
There we go. An early season setback for the 36ers. Was hard to watch Bryce being Bryce against the top Euro league team in Sydney.

Must admit I didn’t realise how soon after the end of last season the Wildcats put the hard word on Bryce for an answer. Sounds like it was just a couple of weeks after the end of last season. I thought at least a couple of months had passed by. Not so it seems and the club said deadline has passed we are moving on without you. Idiots.
So you ran the risk of giving up your best player to an NBL opponent and that’s what you did. I’m now satisfied Bryce would have returned to Perth.
Clearly the biggest fuck up in NBL history.

Well we’ve all seen Bryce Cotton heroics for our Wildcats and it’s a tough watch seeing him do Bryce things in a Sixers singlet.
But tonight I watched about the last 3 min 40 seconds and I reckon his 2 point layup to win the game with zero seconds left was his best. Scores were level, Sydney missed, Adelaide got the rebound with about 3 seconds left on the clock. Passed to Bryce who was well aware of the time left and took off like a scalded cat with ex NBA player and mid season Sydney import Tory Craig in pursuit.
If Bryce went with his right hand Craig probably swats the shot away but Bryce switched to his left hand and laid it in on the left-hand side of the bucket.
Replays show the red around the glass just starting to show as the ball was dropping in the bucket.
Commentators briefly said oh hang on the shot doesn’t count before saying it did. Dickhead Kendrick Davis made an absolute fool of himself mouthing off at Cotton who just won the game to level the series 1-1.

NO CLASS DAVIS
Who already made a complete Fool of himself MOANING about the MVP Result,instead of Graciously Congratulating the Winner,which happened to be Bryce and Well Done to him,in case I haven’t said out loud myself!
Without any shred of doubt letting Bryce Cotton just walk away
is the biggest fuck up of all time in sport
Mark Arena really is out of his depth
totally out of any semblance of touch or anything at all really come to think of it
Perth Wildcats will sink to what they were before Cal Bruton
a wasteland of shittyness
Andrew Vlahov,time to take charge mate!
