Sixers Season 3

[hunt]

hunt...there is a big problem when your assists drop from 5/game to 3/game. He should have had less assists in Atlanta, where nobody could shoot, compared to now in Dallas who has good spot shooters and post players. I fully disagree with bringing Terry here--hes not a true point guard

terry would help make up for a1's scoring & he can play pg...i know he's not nash but neither is iverson (or ollie who's forced to start since a1 couldn't handle playing pg).

AI can surely handle the PG spot, hes avg'ing career highs in assists the past 2 years...exactly what this team needs to win. That any team needs for that matter. He trys to do to much, which he can do  because hes a stud (the big problem here). He penetrates and dishes, something Terry is not that good at. If he was, he would have a hell of alot more assists thruout his career. Keep Terry.

Give me a PG with a great assist/TO ratio, can score 15+ and dish 8-10, hit the 3 40-45% of the time....Im a happy camper. Yes I would take Josh Howard because he will be a stud and already is turning into one down in the paint

I would love Brevin Knight here if he didnt get hurt so damn much. Boy is good

a1 failed as a pg...do you think they're starting kevin ollie because they really wanted to get him in the starting lineup?  a1 averaged career highs in assists because he has the ball all the time.
i'm not saying terry is the ideal pg...he's not.  neither is iverson.  terry/howard is the type of deal they need to make.

why are you hosers talking rationally about this team? they suck, their general manager is an idiot, and he has full support from the stubborn chariman. there is no hope, not for at least 3 years, for this team to improve. and even at that point, billy king has not demonstrated in the least bit that he is remotley capable of building a championship contending team. this is just like ed wade and the phillies. we all knew they werent going to win with him at the helm, so whats the point. problem with the phillies is they come so long and make us believe, the sixers just plain suck and make us cringe.

[ice grillin you]

it's not.   and i never said he's a good point guard...i said at least he plays pg, unlike iverson who can't. 

again he is iverson just with 1/100th of the talent...they play the exact same game...iverson doubles him in assists so if he cant play point what is terry...neither are point guards but iverson distributes the ball far better

besides your sentimental reasons, what good comes out of keeping iverson on this team? 

not sure how to answer that...if by good you mean wins and losses then no good comes by keeping or trading iverson the team is not going to win either way...that being the case id rather watch them with iverson than jason terry and yes id rather one of my favorite athletes of all-time finsish his career with my favorite team...again with jason terry they become the ahwks...i guess if nothing else by trading iverson you become truly pathetic and get a higher draft pick...thats the one positive i can see in moving him

the only two ways you deal iverson is:

a. they get a deal that will make their team better (not gonna happen)
b. he asks to be traded

AI can surely handle the PG spot,

he's proven that he can't, you talk about assist/TO ratio?  Iverson's is awful.

AI's a great player, but he can't be a productive PG.

Im talking in terms of handling it--performing the duties (ball handling skills, assists, score when necessary, getting teammates in position, etc...), not in terms of what I would like to have and what he has done. Hes a pure scorer and is a a shooting guard with a capital SG

besides your sentimental reasons, what good comes out of keeping iverson on this team? 

not sure how to answer that...if by good you mean wins and losses then no good comes by keeping or trading iverson the team is not going to win either way...

i definitely mean wins or losses...that's the only thing that matters to me.  and we are 100% sure they won't win if they keep iverson.  they need to rebuild so i don't see any advantage in keeping iverson around an postponing things by 2 years.

and put me down for option "b". 

[ice grillin you]

a1 failed as a pg...do you think they're starting kevin ollie because they really wanted to get him in the starting lineup?  a1 averaged career highs in assists because he has the ball all the time.

ollie plays because he can put forth a semblance of on the ball defense not because of his point guard skills

iverson has the ball all the time becasue hes one of the best players in the history of the league...check the other top scorers in the league over the past few years...guys who have the ball as much as iverson...kobe mcgrady ect...they dont drop near the dimes allen does...and again thats with a total lack of talent around him...imagine if the sixers had guys that could shoot and finish

[reese125]

If i hear that name one more time, I will puke on my computer...Im better than Ollie

so thats what your argument boils down to?...they arent winning with their best player so get rid of him for terry and howard and they will win more...i dont think you understand how bad their team would be with howard and terry

it would be embarrassing beyond belief and not just that it wouldnt aid in any kind of rebuiding project

in a few years would you rather have a clean slate with iverson and webbers money off the books or would you rather have a 33 year old jason terry and josh howard leading the team?

do you understand how bad this team is now?
i want a winning team, regardless of who's on the team.  the current team blows so they need major changes...and nothing will change as long as the team is built around a1.  that's what my argument boils down to.
terry/howard won't happen...we both know that.  but something needs to be done to start the rebuilding process.

[ice grillin you]

do you understand how bad this team is now?

it stinks but as bad as the team is theres a difference btwn what they are now and being the atlanta hawks

not to mention iverson is the only thing that makes this team worth watching right now

without him youre left watching jason terry do the same exact thing at a much lower level and the team winning 15 less games

Hunt Im so glad you dont want Terry now...makes me feel a hell of alot better now.

i'm just being realistic...it won't happen.  no way the mavs break up their team after the season they're having.

btw, sixers up big at halftime.
meh.

[BigEd76]

Pacers, Bucks, Bulls, 76ers and Magic all win.  Celtics were eliminated...

The 5th seed in the East is 39-39
