My person opinion is that when Ontario Lett became available on the market (a player Fisher wanted to sign during the pre-season) it was time for one of the two current imports to be shown the door. Ellis has been in fine form recently; Tucker injury-prone. Bye bye Tucker. Combine this with the injury to Burston and a big man such as Lett looks like the answer.

There have been dozens of reasons dished up, but I think this one is the most plausible. Lett arrived at Perth Airport (from a day-long flight) five hours after the Tucker sacking was announced. In regards to Tucker not being a "team player" -- Fisher had to say something at the press conference, didn't he?
