Very experienced guard who can play 1 or 2.Has alot of international experience so should slot straight in.Still no fix for there rebounding problems.

Conditions of contract:
Don't take anything a fat guy yells at you in the locker room to heart or immediate termination will apply.

Poor decision for mine. Compare his Chinese stats to Patty's to get an idea of how good he is.

Really needed a big. Could have survived the season splitting PG role between Dillon and McDonald.

Some good highlights below. Looks to be a player that could bring some interest.

Allen's stats are a fair bit inferior to Patty Mills' over there and they were from the same team in China too.

6'0' 180 pounds, that should help them get more than 25 rebounds next game

Agreed Mystro motivation will be down since the players have been demoted from professional athletes to disgruntled employees. Unless Myron Allen has a breakout debut like "2hard2guard" in his first few games. IMO unlikely. tigers will be going down the ladder.

this guy will have to be pretty spectacular to turn things around in Melbourne's locker room.

If if everyone else is lucky Seamus will fire a player a week and Adelaide can get Dillon at a bargain and the Blaze can fill a few of their injury holes with decent players and the Hawks can start again.

Wellington Saints of the NBL are reportedly chasing Ubaka!

Good chance to sign him too, as Ubaka is good friends with Pero from the Blaze days.

Saints throwing big money at him supposedly.

They lost Craig Winder. He signed a contract to play for the Saints, but it had an opt-out clause and he exercised that to play in Dubai!! Very random..What is the league like in Dubai??

"Tigers coach Trevor Gleeson said in a statement on the club website Allen was selected for his leadership skills."-The Age

so Tigers leadership team basically suk? Now I have a feeling Myron was signed by Seamus not Gleeson, just like TJ Campbell

Don't care who signed him - as long as he can get that ball moving for a good shot, and the players moving to good spots for a good shot, then I'll be happy. With Chewey there was too much standing around while Chewey got intimate with the ball.

What good shots? Except for Mills and Ubaka there arent many who have hit shots this year for the Tigers. Trigger's going to find it pretty tough I imagine because no one is left to spread the defence.
