TJ Starks Open to Extending Stay

On nbl.com.au.

Briefly, it says that TJ Starks is (still) committed to China deal, but anything can happen between now and then! He already loves it here "with the JJs".

First impression, Fantastic! A Scoop, but for whom? He says JJ's, which would mean that Johnson, or another of the imports has to go.

Any other team want a top guard? Any other team not want a top guard? Think the "ayes" have it!

His skills would be "useful" to a few of the teams.

Illawarra may want an upgrade for McLaughlin (sorry),
Cairns have the room for him.
SEM may have the need for an up-grade and do have room for an import.
Sydney will want to add him as a back-up to Delly and Davis(Oh,Shit! Just noticed, they only have two imports. Would cost them a local's spot, but Brian will find a way.)

The plot just thickened! nbl.com.au has up-dated to advise that Goorjian has said that there won't be any changes to King's front court.

Is he getting us ready for a King's back-court change or addition?

For what it is worth, it was mentioned during commentary of the JJs Brisbane game that Stark would be too expensive for most other teams. No idea how much he is being paid but seems JJs new owners are not afraid to spend and the commentary team knows the number.

I am Interpreting Starks comments in the context of DJs injury maybe taking a longer recovery period than currently advertised or if there is another injury to one of the imports he effectively can effectively provide cover for any of Hamilton, Campbell or Johnson.

"RobT - Cairns have the room for him"

Cairns has already signed three imports.
