LONDON Olympian Adam Gibson today shocked pundits – including this one – by signing with Townsville Crocodiles while Chris Goulding has quit United for the Sydney Kings.

As today’s official first day of legal free agent contact got underway, Perth Wildcats were shocked with the news championship import Casey Prather also will join Goulding at Sydney, with veteran Shawn Redhage returning to the NZ Breakers – where his NBL career began.

Nathan Jawai (below) also is moving on, Brisbane Bullets to announce his signing “before the weekend”.

Josh Childress now looks “most likely” to pursue business opportunities in Melbourne, and you know which team is based there.

Hakim Warrick now also will return to United - coincidence? I think not - David Barlow set to make his NBL return in 2016-17 back at a regenerated Sydney Kings.

Jeff Van Groningen’s extensive search for a new coach at the Kings has come up with a different JVG, NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy ready to take on the coveted role.

Yes, it’s a big news day for the NBL … at least until midday.

Then maybe we can get serious again.
