Barlow and Baynes
I was thinking should the 36ers offer these 2 contracts, Clarke is there as assistant coach with them at the moment i hope he is getting in their ears. There have been rumours of Barlow wanting to come back to the NBL and Baynes was rumoured to be a 36ers target on here a few weeks ago, would it be better to go without the 2nd import and sign these 2 along with say Ervin.
I know we have plenty of SF/Sgs but Barlow would be a good signing IMO, if we get Baynes or a cheap import big along with Johnson, Ballinger we dont need too much more in the PF/C rotation, and Weigh,Creek, Barlow would be able to play PF for 5 mins here and there. Barlow would give us a good proven go to guy at NBL level and would be our only legit top level/Boomer in our team.
Baynes would give us the aggressive inside player to compliment Ballinger and Johnson.
Given we have 2 import spots and around 29 points to spare, if not asking crazy money and interested in the NBL i reckon we should have enough spare to offer these guys a decent contract.
Would give us a team of
Baynes/Johnson
Ballinger
Weigh/Creek
Barlow/Herbert/Ng
IMPORT (Ervin)/Crosswell
id use depth chart of
Baynes (25mins)/Johnson (15)
Ballinger (30)/Johnson (5)/Creek or Weigh (5)
Weigh (20)/Creek (15)/Barlow (5)
Barlow (25)/Herbert (10)/Ng (5)
Ervin (30)/Crosswell (10)
I'd be pretty happy with that, obviously it would be a tough ask to get Baynes and Barlow, but hey Clarke surely has an advantage and shot at it being involved with the Boomers aslong as we can offer market level contracts to these guys.
