Ballinger will re-sign with the 36ers. The club is very keen on retaining his services.

Keen at minimum wage I hope. Never trust an athlete's ankles, after a certain age with history attached!

Kobe24 i'm pretty sure Ballinger would be offered a reduced salary. An experienced player on the bench is going to be very important with Clark opting for a youthful line-up.
I honestly think the loss of Ballinger and Crosswell for a large portion of the season were pretty significant in determining our overall finish. You really need these experienced guys to settle the team, especially down the stretch in close games.
For mine, I thought we looked much better and showed more poise when Crossy was running the offence earlier in the season. His experience in particular, I believe in invaluable (great choice for captain).

Ballinger is out of contract and the club haven't re signed him YET to public knowledge. Regardless, his going to be a solid addition to any club. No doubt he will be on alot of teams radars now his a free agent.

SOS would be very dumb to offer Balls anything close to his last contract. If a team is willing to take a bet on him and outbid, id let him walk.
