Dragons may lose Ebi Ere

Seems like the Dragons' pick-up of Ebi Ere wasn't as locked in as we might've thought.

Ere is off to NBA veterans' camp and the Dragons don't want to be left waiting too long. Molloy likes the fill-in import mentioned previously on this site, Tremmell Darden, but Goorjian will have the final decision when the Olympics wrap up.

An article on the Herald Sun has a childishly amusing quote from Molloy:

"I don't think the door is closed completely," Molloy said. "Ebi's got a couple of balls in the air, but we're pretty sure there are some more alluring prizes in Ebi's lucky dip than what the NBL can offer right now. Good luck to him, but I just don't think we can wait around. We had to put Plan B into place."

Massive shame for the league. He is a superstar down here. Can't say that I feel for the Dragons however.

Also, Could it be at all possible that in a months time when Ebi has exhausted all his NBA options that he signs with the Tigers?

That all depends on whether Melbourne can fit Ere and Hodge under the salary cap.....

Silly me, as if the Tigers would let a little thing like the salary cap get in the way!

I would just like to know what relevance Ebi's balls being in the air has.

Dunno, but it might have something to do with his door being open ?

It would be a little sad for Australia. I love watching Ebi play.

Shoot or dunk. We see some beautiful basketball.

On the other hand, this may bring the dragons back to the pack somewhat. Ebi was easily a top 5 player in the league, and although the Dragons are still stacked, his loss will hurt them.
