That question will be answered on the court next year but yesterdays capture of Lindsay Tait (190-G-82, agency: Duran International) on a three-year deal means it is certainly up for discussion.
The Tall Blacks point guard joins fellow internationals Corey Webster, Casey Frank and Dillon Boucher on Pero Cameron's star-studded roster, while the Saints still have two import slots open should they choose to fill them.
2013 squad so far: Lindsay Tait, Dillon Boucher, Arthur Trousdell, Jordan Mills, Damien Ekenasio, Casey Frank, and Corey Webster.

The Breakers have suffered yet another loss in their turbulent pre-season, going down 79-68 against the Cairns Taipans in Brisbane.

The Breakers have suffered yet another loss in their turbulent pre-season, going down 79-68 against the Cairns Taipans in Brisbane. Thomas Abercrombie (198-F/G-87, college: Washington St.) looked to have overcome his injury troubles of the past few weeks, scoring a game-high 24 points, while new man Akil Mitchell (206-F-92, college: Virginia) added 11 points coming off the bench. The rest of the squad underwhelmed, with an inexperienced Breakers side struggling to gel as the new season quickly approaches. Key players Kirk Penney and Corey Webster were missing having failed to overcome their injury concerns, while the Taipans were missing the likes of Nathan Jawai (209-F/C-86, college: Midland CC) and Mark Worthington (203-F-83, college: Metro St.). The result makes for grim reading among Breakers fans, with the club's poor pre-season run stretching to 5 games without a win, following a 3-0 series loss to the Brisbane Bullets, as well as going down to the Sydney Kings earlier in the tournament.

The National Maori basketball team will be taking on the Apunipima Australian Indigenous Basketball team in a three game trans-Tasman series, starting tomorrow in Gisborne. Game two will be in Te Awamutu and the third in Tauranga. Head of Maori Basketball, Willy Taurima, says the Australians are the favourites due to the team being the defending champions and featuring some players, which will be led by ANBL veteran Tyson Demos (191-G-88). 'It certainly won't be a whitewash. They have a few stars and we are missing a few guys due their obligations with the Breakers, but we've recruited enough experience to really have a crack at bringing the title back home to New Zealand.' The New Zealand Maori team that's been named boasts two recently retired Tall Blacks, nine NZ NBL current players, and eight former NZ Junior Tall Blacks. Taurima says there is a great rivalry building between the two teams. The last two events were highly competitive, with both nations holding a title each. 'This is the third year in the event's history. The first year was in 2014 when it was a two game series. It resulted in a draw at one win each, but New Zealand Maori won the title on point differential. The second year, in 2015, we lost two games to one. All three of those games went down to the wire, with about five points in it.' This year the event is being taken on the road to towns that Taurima says has a proud Maori representation in their communities. 'We wanted to widen the opportunity for people to see international basketball. And these will be great games with that good old Australian/New Zealand rivalry.' Courtesy of: basketball.org.nz
