Melbourne United re-sign Barlow for 2018

Looking at a list of active players from 2003-04 I've realised he is tied with Vukona who also debuted in that season. Both are now tied with the retirement of Oscar Forman from NBL basketball.

His first NBL season was 2003-04.

I doubt any other player active in the NBL right now played anywhere close to back then?

34 years old, he is a veteran now. If I am not mistaken he is the only player still active from the Kings three-peat era (he played in the last two of the three titles).

Man, I feel old.

How old is David Barlow nowadays? Seems to have been around for a very long time...

If rumours are true:

In: Trist, Pledger, Smith-Milner (Elevated from DP)

Out: Wesley, Majok, Andersen

With imports to be signed.

United already had one of the best import groups ever- Ware and Boone making all NBL 1st team and Prather with injuries but playing a valuable role in the GF.

With the improvements to Sydney and Perth's locals - and Adelaide re signing their core- United won't start favourites next season. Far from it.

Good signing - are Melbourne bringing Andersen back?

If Melbourne aren't would free up $$ - Melbourne need one more high quality local player to compete with Sydney etc.

Team looking like
Import PG/Adnam
Goulding/Hooley
Import SF/Moller
Trist/Barlow/Smith-Milner
Import C/Pledger?

Pledger is rumoured to be going to Melbourne

Well technically it is the same club, Tigers were just rebranded as United.

On the signing with some of the big shots Barlow hit in the playoffs especially in the GF I'm a bit surprised he wasn't able to squeeze a two year deal out of them.

Melbourne United are pleased to announce that experienced power-forward David Barlow has re-signed for his sixth season with the Club.

Melbourne's interesting relationship with history continues, I see.

Barlow hit some big shots in the playoffs.

He could, at the right price, be a decent spot up shooter off the bench and veteran leadership.

Good on him for extending his career.

It's a good signing, but with Melbourne losing Wesley, Brisbane gaining some good Aussies, and Sydney getting Bogut, they're really going to be up against it to be at the level they were last year. They'd better be ready to put in some big cash for imports.

Ubaka set to play against his former team. I think a few people will be keen to see how much change he brings to the Hawks, as well as the second outing of Myron Allen.

Tips?
