Good stuff, McCarron should be a suitable replacement for Giddey.

Unfortunately local SA boy Isaac White has re-signed with the Illawarra Hawks to a one-year deal.

The 36ers have announced the signing of former Cairns Taipan Tad Dufelmeier Jr to a one year deal. The 6'0" PG was a development player last season and is the son of Tad Sr who played 178 NBL games and was a member of the 1988 Canberra Cannons championship team.

https://nbl.com.au/news/dufelmeier-jr-j ... aide-36ers

A very good signing. He was quite impressive for the Taipans when he started getting minutes even started a few games and scored in double figures six times. I can't remember the last time the Sixers were this strong at the PG spot with McCarron and now Dufelmeier.

In probably the best news for the league in years the NBL have announced a landmark broadcast deal signing a 3 year deal with ESPN, Kayo, Foxtel & News Corp believed to be worth $45 million. A FTA partner will be announced in due time expected to be either Ten or SBS.

- Every NBL regular season game plus finals to be shown live on ESPN

- Every game shown on Foxtel and Kayo subscribers with 2 games a week on Kayo Freebies

https://nbl.com.au/news/nbl-achieves-hi ... media-deal

Considering the last TV deal with ESPN & SBS was for no money at all this deal said to be for $45M over the next three years with a FTA partner still to come and roping in News Corp who have previously never given the NBL good coverage is to be honest quite extradordinary.
