NBA or NBL for Newley

I hope they go with

Dench/Cooper
Ballinger/
Import/Copeland
Newley/Ng
Maher/Davidson/Sutton
or maybe a import PG, and move Maher and Newley up one spot!

Well i dont think Dmac can get that loyalty discount, he already has a discount of 2 points making him a 7 instead of a 9 due to loyalty which doesn't really make sense because he signed with the Tigers the season before the Giants folded. If they do manage to fit him in, I think there will be a lot more people crying foul than was the case with the Dench situation last yr. Newley should be a 10 anyway.

A quick Points count of the Tigers gives:

Anstey 10
Thomas 10
Hoare 8
Barlow 8
Stiff 8
Crosswell 7
Dmac 7
Corletto 1
Greer 1
Tucker 9

Thats a pts. total of 69, already 1 over the 68 pooint limit. This means they have to sack some1 - presumably tucker as has been rumoured which gives a pts total of 60. Add Newley who is a 9 and that is a total of 69 again which is not within the limit. To fit Newley in, another player has to depart from the Tigers, the only player who has possibly been rumoured to be leaving is Thomas - which would free up another 10 points meaning they could fit in Newley. However I think Newley is a downgrade on Thomas and picking up Newley means they can only sign a 9 point import. The only listed ones atm are Farley, Franklin, Scott and Tucker, none of who it appears the Tigers are interested in. I think this means the signing of Newley could well result as a negative for the Tigers. If I were them, I would be doing everything possible to keep Thomas who IMO is the best import in the league. If Newley signs with the Tigers, it will be interesting to see who goes or who stays. I can't see the Tigers improving their team with the signing of Newley unless they rort the points system, which I guess isnt all that inconceivable.

Yea id say a bust out Olympics could be his best bet, a bit like Shane Heal back in 1996 Olympics

Yea out of the 2 main targets Newley and Schenscher i thought Newley was the more likely to play in the NBL, i dont think he will get a full time NBA gig, but wish him well as another Aussie in the NBA would be AWESOME! and from the report he doesnt seem that interested or desprate to go to Europe so i wouldnt be surprised to see him in the NBL. Bit like guys like Sam Mackinnon, who also trialled NBA at around Newleys age and came back and played majority of his career in the NBL, apart from David Andersen, Bogut and Schenscher pretty much all the other top Aussies have played significant time in the NBL
