He was offered to every NBL team last season at min price (Yes, 37k) and no one was interested.

He will be 36 before the new season starts and while yes he is still in good form, there are a LOT of off the court issues with him. I'm a big fan of his game and what he brings, but at the end of the day if a player is being unprofessional off the court.. You gotta weigh up if he's worth the risk.

From what I know he has done/does off the court - IMO he isn't worth the risk.

Sounds like a lot of haters, I guess all of the dud that have played in the league of the last few seasons are more worthy? Nat, I would say that your figure for a FULL season is very off, what you have heard may be talking about a part of a season (very sure of this).

He would be much better than having Gibson at the point.

Hahaha Anon, are you suggesting that the whole NBL was a weak field? Good one buddy, I'm sure the league is much stronger now with its star calibre boomers and all.

Good for the league, bad for his team.

Now another anon turns this into an Internet bashing and prejudice posting. Don't talk things other than if you think he would suit a team here or not. Why discuss falafels tool?

Prejudice?

Not keen to see him on either team I follow.

#383, all I was doing was asking how the above comment could be considered prejudice?

does he like Kebabs or just Felafels?

OMG teh racism!!1!

Too old . Rather have Anstey comeback
His tigers team was huge but nobody wanted to bang inside. Get to the damn free throw line.

Time isn't linear in your world, is it Pikachu?

While he is probably too old to get a run now, you can't deny that he was a pretty good player back in his day. Going to the rim he was a better finisher than anyone in the league right now. He couldn't shoot to save himself, but he didn't turn the ball over much and always showed up for big games.

I don't know where people come up with this "bad locker room presence" nonsense because it is completely unfounded (at least from his time in townsville). He was let go because they wanted to go with a pass-first point guard.

Ironically every point guard they've had since has pretty much averaged less assists per game than homicide...

Enjoyed watching him for Townsville. I thought he added a lot to the league.

Mick, barely turned the ball over? He led the league in turnovers when he was last here and has a career average of 4+ tpg in the NBL.

As for stepping up in the big games does anyone remember the Valentine's Day Massacre?

Mick, I can guarantee you that there in fact were offcourt problems with Homicide at the Crocs. Recent history (last five years at the very least) says that you can't really trust anything the Crocs release to the media. Hopefully that changes with the community model, because you don't want to lie to those whom support you.

It's not a great look for the club either when you fire a league MVP and one-man-marketing-machine via a classless, detached e-mail and alienate your entire fanbase in the process.

Obviously my memory glossed over the turnovers, but in his prime with Townsville he was a game changer, even with his shortcomings.

Yeah he had streetball roots and didn't always play the game the right way, but point guards who can finish at the rim like he could are very valuable indeed. He was every bit as good as Gary Ervin, albeit without the jumpshot that Ervin developed last season, but a better finisher IMO.

You have to remember that he wasn't exactly young when he came here...
