If the thread about a past import returning to the nbl is to believed it will be Corin Henry or Cedric Jackson going to the tigers. Whoever they get will be an upgrade over Ubaka.

"personal reasons"

There you go Playmakermo, Ubaka has returned to the US for 'personal reasons'.

"Another nba player coming to town in Melb? I think so..... The Nbl is back!"

@rick F*** YES

ATF also said its not a returning player..

Cedric Jackson won't be playing for Melbourne.

Ubaka's been cut by Melbourne twice now, back for a 3rd?

Luther Head ?

Ten telecast suggested Ubaka was cut by Tigers and they will be making an announcement within next 24 hours.

Carfino and Rosen wouldn't get it wrong, surely not.

I am hoping for Luther Head. would be good to snag an NBA player who I actually know before even having to research them... Was a good player for houston not that long ago.

Kendall Marshall anyone ? Current free agent ...

Delonte west ?

Just throwing names

It's not Flynn or Luther Head..

Nat can we at least have a clue, this is killing me!!

It's like playing guess who "does he have glasses?"

Tracy McGrady. Stay tuned

Nat, has the person in question got NBA cred?

Any Aussies on the bench in NBA ......

Not Flynn or Luther Head... Does the guy have NBA cred? If he doesn't... it would be underwhelming!

Haha, look at us now ^

"If he's not NBA, he's nethin"

my guess...Charles Barkley..or possibly someone else.

anyone who has information from credible source drop a hint dammit

Word that I am getting is the guy has NBA experience... but then again so have many imports.. I wanna know if the guy can make some highlights basically or brings something new to the league.

Ahhhh I want to know!!!! Hopefully we hear some news tonight or tomorrow.

Please be darko or scalas

darko or scalas? who r they?

Allen Iverson?

I know Ansteys just said.. whoever it is.. there wont be an NBA out clause so that may limit the talent pool but then again, it might not

It will be a vrey solid pick up for the Tigers!

They will be sharing title fave with Perth once this anoucment is made....get on now to get the juicer odds for tigers for the title.

Corin Henry to the Tigers

Pffft come on! its 2013... this league can do better then Corin Henry.

And Tigers watcher.. do you know who it is or are you just speculating?

Mustapha Farrakhan Jr

Centrebet has withdrawn NBL odds, either for a weekly review or waiting on this announcement. If it's who I've heard it is, we will have a great championship race on our hands, especially if Young takes Sydney up into that bracket with Perth and Adelaide.

Still amazes me that Goulding was $11 for MVP while averaging 26 PPG. He's now averaging 27.3 PPG and (I believe) about to get another good distributor in the team. Meanwhile, Ennis was paying $3 and while he is #2 in scoring, #4 in rebounding and top five in 3P%, Knight is going to take up a few shots and boards, and Redhage will get some attention too. Worthington is a bit more passive, as is Morrison - if Goulding wants to take the shots, he's going to get his chance.

What? MVP odds $11 for Goulding that is crazy!

Isaac do you know when the Tigers are expected to announce?

Could you give any hints of who you have heard?

Daniel Eade says Mustapha Farrakhan Jr.. I know of his grandfather, never heard of Jr though. A little underwhelming

Not to mention Beal as well Isaac. (Just when teams thought they only had to deal with Ennis, up pops Beal and his shooting form to go with Knights successful return)

Honestly though, if Beal keeps this up, he could easily be in the mix as well.

Lance.. I am watching some video of him. I don't think its underwhelming.. Its not quite Sam Young and James Ennis but this guy is just another very good import to add to what has been our best import year in like 15 years.

An NBL championship by any means necessary

Those crazy cats at Wikipedia must have copied Eade's article to get their information on Farrakhan!

Farrakhan is confirmed.

If this signing is true, hopefully he can play & Warney's mate, Joe the camera man doesn't start working for 1HD, otherwise we might start hearing

"Farrakhan can't shoot, Farrakhan can't pass and Farrakhan can't defend"

Is it too late to suggest Mark Price :-)
