Should the 6ers target Wilkinson and Jackson?

Breakers have bought some decent Imports into the league. Awvee Story has been Lemanis's only dud to date.
Orien Greene wasn't bad but didn't have anywhere near Cedric Jacksons speed and ball handling skills, he had a bit more size tho.
Rich Melzer was good enough to get an NBA gig after the Breakers.
Pre Lemanis, Ricardo "Carlos" Powell was a beast offensively (2007 leading scorer and all NBL 1st team).
Kevin Braswell was pretty good
Wilkinson was all NBL first team last year and 2cnd team this year (should have been in the 1st team instead of Worthington this year)
Jackson was a stand out all NBL first team

I reckon Wilkinson will either go to Europe or accept a lesser role for NZ. The Christian values and tight family atmosphere at the Breakers suits him and his young family as well as the clubs stability so can't see him looking at other NBL clubs. Cedric Jackson, NBA or DLeague or NZ again maybe (if we are super super lucky). Can't see him surviving in Europe away from his family and friends. NZ was his first whole season out of the States and he said the only reason he lasted was because of the guys on the team being all cool and looking out for him, he won't get that many places in the world.
You will struggle to convince players to leave a team they have just won 2 championships with to join the wooden spoon unfortunately.

If both Wilkinson and Jackson both leave, I am confidant that they will be replaced with 2 quality players that will suit the teams needs. Awvee Story was the only real dud import under Lemanis (dud attitude, not skills) so the Breakers American recruiting is pretty decent.
