Operation get Myron Allen!

Id also like us to pursue Greer as a role player and Lucas 'waxy' walker.

There's not that many players on that roster I would go for to be honest. The only one worthwhile would be Daniel Dillon. Walker is an absolute Douche, most of these guys play for themselves which is why this is all happening.

Panther i think you might be onto something!!

Dillon would be a great pick up thou don't think you'll see him in Adelaide...most prob Kings or FNQ

would people want to see Burston back? Fit he is decent enough and bring a protect the rim mentality that the team has lacked.

he would also allow DJ to stretch the d to exploit his range

I like Walker for the FU he has in his game. Cue video of him talking trash to Holmes when he dunked on him twice

He also is decent enough slasher , we do have Creek though

The 3 ex Taipans really suffered in their new environment. Taipan Dillon would be good not Tiger Dillon

Bennie Lewis cold be interesting too. Long , lean and athletic with range. Could bring some muh needed swag to the 36ers

anon, you are obviously only after games in which both tgeams scor over 100 pointsws in 40 minutes.

What about Rush? Was played out of position all season...could add some depth on the wing for us.

Tiger watcher, has Dillon been involved in the walkout? His agent is Paul Bell I believe? Adelaide might be already looking! Walker will stay.

If they get trigger I highly doubt I will be renewing my season tickets.
Will be a big step backwards!
As anon said above, DJ isn't the best defender and neither is Ballinger, adding Trigger would make us the worst defensive team in the history of the game!
We would definitely need to get a second ball on court as well to give to Tregardh as DJ won't want to give it up!

If Trigger goes to Adelaide, i'll get a 36ers tattoo. Screenshot this, save it, mark it down, whatever you like.

IF he's released from his contract, he will be going back to Wollongong or MAYBE to NZ. He isn't going to Adelaide.

We have a good scoring big of johnson and get an australian defensive centre.

Ballinger if he comes good starts if he doesnt come good then bring him off the bench, with another Aussie PF.

Import SF athletic type with creek off the bench.

I would look for an import 2 guard who can score from outside but can also get into the paint. and Ng off the bench!

Then go with an australian pair of point guards. A pass first as the starter and a defensive point guard that could played together if needed.

Johnson/Aussie
Balls/Aussie
Import/Creek
Import/Ng
Aussie/Aussie

Please, please take Trigger! You can have him!

I dont know if I would take any of the Tigers? Perhaps Burston as a back up C but thats about it?!

Trigger is a scorer but is limited to the paint. Ballinger offers a bit more range and a bit better defense.

Rush/Walker - already have Weigh and Creek, would rather give the extra minutes to Creek.

Dillon - maybe? I think Bartlett is a similar player though and probably cheaper along with being a better team man.

Lewis - would rather stick with Ng

Greer - role player, not worth it.

Dorsey - maybe if he is cheap, could try him at the SG position? If recruiting him as a SF though would leave alone as we have Weigh/Creek

Allen - think we can get a better import PG.

I think the Sixers need to recruit players for their positions. Dont recruit a 3rd SF and hope Weigh can fill mins at PF....we've seen this doesnt work with the Tigers.

Baller #3.....Weigh is contracted for next season so you might have to adjust your team?!

And Crosswell as well is contracted.

I would be grabbing Dillon at the PG spot with Crossy and then grabbing a import 2 and grabbing Simpson again but I highly doubt we can get him back.

I'm with Tornado. Dorsey if he was cheap. Dillon, but to play what role? I'd rather Bartlett again.

I think multi-year deals to Johnson combined with Tragardh could be very risky.

Rush showed some signs this year, but can't see where he'd fit in.

The one that makes slight sense is Burston.

Panther 32, Baller#3 had an "Aussie" listed as his back up point so didnt worry about correcting him on that point as it fit with who we currently have.

Simpson is supposedly out of the price range for the NBL now so he definitely wont be back.

Corletto must laugh every time he reads the news about the Tigers...screwed him out of a contract into a Championship

Panther, Dillon is a SG (although he thinks he is a point) as he has very sub-par ball handling ability. he would be a decent back up at the 2 over Herbert.

Got a nice spot on my leg for a basketball tat.. But i don't see a 36ers one going there ;)

After this whole Trigger rumor is dead.. I'm going to make a deal with Sav that if the Hawks win another championship before he retires, i'll get his face on my leg.

@Skudd...The Tigers didn't screw Corletto out of a championship at all. He wanted to go so he did. He didn't want to be a bench player while Mills was there but the Tigers wanted him to stay. I don't know why some people make it sound like the Tigers did anything to him.

ummm the tigers effectively cut him from the team. he could not have played whilst Mills was on the roster.

@BJF. Untrue. He was offered full pay and everyone knew from the start that Mills was a short term gig. I can certaintly understand why Corletto choose to go as obviously he wanted court time but he wasn't pushed.

I think BJF is on the money could not play until Mills left

anon: you are talking rubbish

he didn't have a contract when the Tigers signed Mills, he got Corletto's roster spot. Gleeson effectively told him that if he wasn't happy waiting to see how long Mills would be playing that he was welcome to look at other options and Lemmanis signed him straight away, Gleeson got all butthurt and Corletto ended up starting and winning a championship, the end

hang on

he is a ball player and wants to play.

If he stayed at the Tigers he wouldnt have played until Patty left. And NO one could tell you at season's start how long that would be.

So what if he was on full pay. He wanted to play as he was signed and contracted to do.

It was the Tigers who pushed him out the door.

Gleeson has been on leave, out of state, for last 2 weeks whilst the new board etc choose his players for him. Guess Anstey is settling the debacle back in Melbourne. Trigger is definitely at the centre of the revolt.

Major shit happening at the Tigers- that organisation is a debacle. It calls itself professional? Trigger is the instigator in all of this and now he's going elsewhere from what I hear because Anstey doesn't want him either. That's the word. Who would want to play for Anstey? The guy has the personality of a toothpick and no pro coaching experience.

Dillon and Tragardh released:

http://www.nbl.com.au/tigers/news/article/2012/april/daniel-dillon-cameron-tragardh-part-ways-with-melbourne-tigers/

I don't think Trigger would suit the Sixers or the Hawks. Maybe Perth?

Any team that looks at picking up trigger needs their head read.Rumors that this guy has caused more problems at the tigers than any other player ever, even homicide was better this guy sooked faked injuries and back stabbed everyone who got in his face. So 6ers please pick him up, what a joy he will be for Clarke more pain.

I really hope Trigger is not the option they are discussing. A: he doesnt play defense, B: he wouldnt come cheap, C: however way you look at it, what he accomplished in the Gong is already behind him, and the current 6ers coach hasnt proved he has the tools to get a Trigger type player back to franchise level.

I just really hope cooler heads prevail on this one. Dillion on the other hand is a very unique prospect, in the right environment could be awesome. Deceptively strong, quick and can make things happen.

I'd be pretty happy if we got Dillon. Handy player.
Tragardh, Johnson and Weigh in the same starting line up... Thought we struggled keeping teams under 100 this year, we'd struggle to keep them under 120 with that setup. 50% of the game is defence. You can't just ignore it and hope for the best.

Trigger could easily end up at the Blaze. Wortho thinks himself a bit of a wheeler and dealer in the agent department. He will be def getting an offer delivered.

I would like to see Myron Allen at the sixers as he is a solid point guard. On Tiger watch he is averaging 19pp 6rpg and 8.6apg. Solid pick up if they can get him.

Those are his averages in Mexico. Adelaide can do much better.

I think they have actually been released from their contracts at their own request, meaning they wont receive any further money from those contracts, so I imagine 'no' is the short answer.

@ Paul - correct. Dillon couldn't get a straight answer re who was going to coach from Anstey and was given the impression he wasn't wanted from Anstey. Dillon liked playing for Trevor but was sick of the circus. Trigger started this whole thing and thought he could just do to Trevor what he did to Al last year. But because Trev has a good contract it backfired on him. Karma. You get what you give and Trigger got what he gave.

@Paul, Myron Allen averaged 18, 5 and 5 in China also, is that a dud league? Could the sixers get another quality import such as Gilchrist, or Howard or Groves or .........to many underperformers to count. Allen has experience a good shot and can find the open man.

#just a thought!

Yes, China is a low quality league compared to the NBL.

Allen may be a decent fit with smart talent around him so he can use his athleticism, but he is not what the Sixers need. His shot is very wonky, his effort on D is poor and he makes some bad turnovers.
