Sixers Season thread 2

Iggy would be a better foundation to start a team with than a 30 year-old point guard who refuses to play defense.

I disagree. I see Iggy as more of a Pippen type than I do a Jordan (obviously exaggerating but you get the point)

[ice grillin you]

who knows if you can build around iguodala or not...what does building around even mean?

to say he cant be a scorer tho is ludicrous

[hunt]

yeah, really.  how about building a team like they did in detroit?

[SD_Eagle5]

Well you have to start somewhere, right? 'Building around' doesn't necessarily mean around 1 player, but I want a foundation before I trade the franchise away.

Who else has any semblance of talent on the Sixers that's young?

They play defense so that rules the current roster of the Sixers out.

There's only one "franchise" beyatch.

dalembert and iguodala especially do..and again iggy is 21 years old and played two years of college...dalembert just started playing basket ball less than ten years ago...they both have high ceilings...how high?...who knows...but they are definitely two good young pieces with wich to work with...salmons korver and willie green can be important parts of a mix as well...but they have to be given the chance...

what they need bad is a young point guard to grow with these other guys...id love to get rajon rondo in the draft to fill that need...but they gotta get in the lottery to do so

[SD_Eagle5]

Dalembert's been a huge disappointment this season.

You really think the Sixers can build a team around Iggy and Dalembert? Why don't they just step up and play their roles? Oh, forgot, AI is holding  them back.   

[hunt]

he is.

[SD_Eagle5]

he is.

How so? Because he takes too many shots? Tell me you don't cringe every time Dalembert tries a mid range/turn around jumper. He's not a scorer, either is Iggy. Getting rid of AI and getting spanked every night so they can shoot more is your answer? 

[ice grillin you]

they are playing their roles...dalembert blocks shots and rebounds...iggy checks the other teams best scorer and gets 9-8-5 every night...all this while they watch iverson and webber take 50 shots a game

and i wouldnt build around anyone id get as much young talent as i possibly could and put them out there with some veteran defenders sprinkled in and see what happens...better than wasting away key years off the careers of these young players while allen iverson declines into an average player before our eyes along side a crippled webber...

[Rome]

Agree 100%, IGY.

Well said.

That's a great plan, and where do you propose we get these young players and veteran defenders from? Iverson has little to no trade value, and Webber has some value but has a huge salary. Do you really see a team giving up young players to acquire either?

[Rome]

Iverson has no value?

Dude, stop it.
