Before I get shot down I believe Hodge would create a boost to a team that is struggling; generate more people to the games in a season that is now lost.
He would also plug the hole from Crosswell and to some degree Balls as is a good rebounder and can step up when the game is on the line.
Could Hodge and the club sort out their differences?

Jake you should get shot down for not realising a team can only have 2 imports!

NOPE the past is past,people who are hodge haters out there will shoot him or have his neck if he plays for Adelaide or another team,ironically hodge didnt play for an NBL team last season and i very much doubt hodge will step inside australia to play basketball ever again for any nbl club.

I noticed at an exhibition game with some of the NBAs best, (about a month ago) that he shot twenty odd points . I wonder if he's in any of the training squads , at the moment.

I think we all agree that Hodge was exciting when he played for the Sixers and he put a lot of bums on seats.
However, Hodge is a little bit like an old girlfriend who did the dirty on you when you were dating her (eg walking out over the "paygate" scandal, or non-scandal) and the girlfriend who then bagged you out to everyone else (eg the "stompgate" incident)
There's no doubt he would generate excitement if he donned the jersey once more, but then again I am told that scuba diving naked with a pack of white pointers at a seal colony is also an adrenaline rush.
Along Jack's thinking, I remember this thread from the time...

Think that describes the Hodge feeling spot on...

Jack - if only you applied the NBL import rule to your old girlfriends. No more than two on the go at any one time!

And they command a large portion of your salary cap?
i love how the hoops regulars get worried when it's school holidays like it actually downgrades the quality of posts on this forum. It's crap all year people, the kids actually post some topics to get discussion happening, get over yourselves

Girlfriends do take up a fair bit of the salary cap, an even two on the go is pushing it. A mate of mine from school tried it. One girl was a Walford girl, the other a Wilderness girl. Problem was, they met at a party and they were commenting how great their boyfriend was. Only problem was that he walked in - lost both.
