Cedrick Jackson > Flynn + Scott

Tigers and Scott have been in contract negotiations. Both parties have said publicly they are keen for Scott to play next season but it is down to financials. Whether the story is different privately I dont know.

Anstey's comment on Flynn: "Do we expect him to come back? No. Will we talk to him? Absolutely."

The mystery around Scott is if he will be healthy or not.. He has back issues and if you've ever had any back injuries some take months or years to recover from, if you even do recover from them.

Flynn. I wouldn't put any money on it.

Tigers are activly talking with Scott pending medicals etc.

Flynn wants to get back in the league and as much as the Tigers want to talk with him....Flynn doesn't come cheap and will be looking at all his options in Europe/getting back into the league.

The word I've heard that both imports won't be back next season,both imports wants a pay rise after a good season.great pair won't team up unless drafted to another nbl team,which is highly unlikely.

Yep both want a rise and i can see why best pairing in league.

Scott - best strech 4 in the league this year...when fit great on baords and can score inside & out.

One of the best import big men to hit our shores for a while

Flynn - Second best import guard in the league behind Jackson...no worth $50k plus thou

What do we think Jackson would be on $150-180k?

Tigers retain a nucleus? I don't understand that concept, I'm pretty sure if Melbourne don't win they just sack everyone and start again.

"Flynn - Second best import guard in the league"

Not sure he is, maybe in a pack with Ervin, Lisch, Wilson and Deleon but I dont think Id take him first out of that group.

Boti is saying Wortho to Tigers.

As for Scott, the guy started great and then averaged 10 & 5 the last 20-odd games. He is a very good athlete and shooter but his bball IQ isnt high and isnt a great contributor if not scoring. Not worth a pay rise IMO.

Flynn = Gone
Scott = Needs to restup his back and let it recover. Talents aren't too shabby and he's still relatively young

Anon....Scotts numbers pre injury were very solid in both boards & points.

I wasn't comparing Scott to past legends like Davis but i don't think we can argue that for a last few years we haven't had many if any good 4/5 imports!

Tigers can do much better than Flynn and Scott. With Goulding's improvement this season, along with the impending arrivals of Worthington and Gibson, the Tigers should get Dunigan to patrol the paint as their sole import. That would be a team I would pay to go and watch.

Big Red , owned this league. Miss him at the breakers , he had style and was a winner. Dropping 3s everytime they need one

I think when it was said we haven't had many if any 4/5 imports of late... I remember David Van Dyke getting like 15 rebounds and 11 blocks (correct me if I'm wrong) in a game, to me that is the only way any import should be compared to Davis, Bolden or Crawford. If your not averaging at least 3 rebounds a quarter then your not in the conversation and that is why Wilkinson should NEVER be mentioned in the same post as Mark 'mr chairman of the boards' Davis

Davis played in a different era , He was the NBL version of rodman on the boards but with a better attitude.
Big Red is a champ and he won't comeback to this league to any other team but NZ

Looks like Flynn to Bobcats http://www.australiabasket.com/Australia/basketball.asp?NewsID=312851&showcomments=1&Women=0#c seems a pretty small PG lineup there.

Maybe somebody in the NBL can try get Taylor Griffin down
Here from the D League!
Luke Zeller
Hassan Whiteside?
