Darius Days

Like Lamar, why is Lamar Patterson even playing minutes in the big 2026? Like, I don't know, man.

And it's still quiet on the replacement imports, the Darius Days.

This, this season's over before it's begun for him.

Um, New Zealand, the big winner.

The start, I believe, doesn't actually reflect the quality of the team.

Not having, you know, having Darius Days and having to make a change there certainly is disruptive.

And it didn't help at all their success and their ability to kind of unite as a team.

But the team that's really pleasing to me is Tasmania.

Now we'll move forward to round four.

Now, something else that has happened is you did get rid of import Darius Days, but what teams have done is they've signed, uh, an import injury replacement.

So how much is it a luxury for you guys to have Lamar Patterson fit in whilst you guys are still on the market for an import?

It's huge, man.

They're two different players.

So I know that they've just sacked Darius Days.

They're going to bring in a five-man because Mason Peetling is a lower leg injury, I'm hearing.

I'm hearing this could be a long timeout.

You know, Milton Doyle is not Trey Kell.

Darius Days isn't the guy that he was when he won the championship.

So, yeah, there's a lot of concerns there.

So, I mean, I'm going to see tonight.

So, look, I think what Melbourne United have done with their roster, you know, Cole Anthony, Joe Ingalls, Luke Travers, we'd love nothing more than those players going back to the NBA.

Is it a great reflection on how serious the league is when we bring in imports like Darius Days and they're sent home because they've pretty much been disrespectful by not showing up in shape? That's a great thing for the game, isn't it?

I completely agree, yeah, because we know that this isn't a league where you can just come and earn a few bucks.

Yeah, exactly.
