Is Ballinger a Tiger?

Boti today -

"Sixers captain Adam Ballinger, playing in Israel but persistently linked to Melbourne in erroneous internet speculation, is deep into negotiations with Adelaide for a fourth year."

If he doesn't sign, it will free up a serious amount of salary cap yeah?

Well, if Balls is gone then that pretty much means I'm hanging on to my $500 next season.

How about a line-up at C/PF of

C - Schenscher, Johnson (Melbourne - surely can't keep him as well if this is true)
PF - Rolan Roberts (still a beast and with a decent centre (not Hinder) behind him would be even more effective and Ben Allen

Retain Holmes as back-up SF/PF or sign the big O for the same role.

Still plenty of options if Ballinger leaves.

Ballinger is a good player and while I would like to see him stay as a player, he is a professional and if the Tuggers have offerred more coin, then you don't blame him to be tempted to go.
Personally, I believe there are much better options, I feel he is not leadership material, and I have grave concerns over his back which could flare up at any time.
If this is just a rumour started to spur the Sixers to offer more coin, I would be disappointed.
If the big O replaced him in the side, I would not be disappointed

At the risk of being controversial, "good riddens"
Yes, he is a good player, but he is not captain material IMO and needs to seriously re-connect with fans.
IMO, His captaincy skills partly contributed to the Sixers poor show last year.
I can think of much better options.
While I thank him for his efforts while at the club, good luck and let's look forward

Methinks someone pruned this thread so there were fewer exclamations of "it's true", and moreso just conjecture.

Last Season , Adam Ballinger , a top-tier Import became a naturalised Australian, 36ers Captain and MVP and was runner up in the League's MVP voting.
YES the Tigers are after him. Coach, Al Westover confirmed yesterday.
Not sure which direction he's going.
Boti may run the story on Thursday.
