When time comes, it will happen. Regarding Maccabi Haifa these aren't rumors, it's the truth. I haven't signed yet and I am waiting for the best opportunity and for the best situation.
At the moment, Maccabi Haifa is the best situation for me.
The city of Haifa is one of the best places in my aspect, since everyone speak English there, it's a very nice place and it has an excellent basketball team.  know Devon Jefferson. We're friends and we got to know each other well the past few years. We met in L.A. when he was in high school and we played against each other.
Devon is an excellent player and a great person. He told me that Haifa will be a great experience for me, that Israel is a great country and a great place to play in.
I got really into it, and he told me that it is probably the best city for me.
This is why we're checking this out seriously, just because I've heard recommendations from someone was is there and plays there. My agent told me that Israel is interested. Beyond that, Israel sounds like a real cool place to be in, and if I arrive there, I intend to work real hard in order to succeed. The only team that I know about is Maccabi Haifa. I know that there's interest of other teams, but from what I understand, we're mainly talking with Haifa. I'm going to arrive where it's going to be best for me, and if Haifa is the best opportunity for me, this is where I'm going to be.
If it won't be Haifa, it will be in some other country. At this stage, I think that there's a good chance that I'll sign in Haifa" said Tyler.
