Sixers offseason

[ice grillin you]

roy and williams or rondo would be a nice backcourt of the future...that scenario would almost be to good to be true

id then use the exceptions to sign a rebounder and or defender

[phattymatty]

biggest bust of this years draft is gonna be that nancy patrick o'bryant

[BigEd76]

I wish we had a shot at Aldridge or Roy...

[ice grillin you]

Marcus Williams is the best pick if he's there, but if the Sixers keep AI, they should look to draft a 2 guard a 3 or a 4. If you draft a 4 then you have to deal Webber if you can unload him.

AI being traded is probably 50/50 at this point. If Roy is still there at 5 I'd offer AI for Harrington and 2 firsts. Then you take Roy at 5, Marcus Williams at 13 if he's there and you have a starting lineup of:

Williams
Roy
Harrington
Webber
Dalembert

The reason I chose that lineup is because ideally, Harrington is a 3, not a 4. Then you try to deal Webber for a defensive 4 that can rebound, and you got yourself a team to build around.

I don't think he'll ever amount to more than a 6th player type contributor in the league

hes already more than that...hes a solid nba starter now...who only played two years in college and is 22 years old...what do you want...you act like he was the number one overall pick...if you want an example of what he could easily become look at larry hughes...you dont want the sixers making that mistake again...especially for a way overpaid one dimensional old ray allen

Overpaid and one-dimensional?  Come on, man.  The guy averaged over 25 a game last year plus he led the league in 3-point shots made.  He's also a decent defensive player and he's only 30 g/d years old.  It's not like he's 35 years old or something.

He's what the Sixers need, IMO.  Plus, any deal that sends Chris Webber packing works for me, especially if they're getting an All-Star in return for him.

As for Iguadala, there's a chance he could become something in the league, but a star?  Come on.  That isn't gonna happen and you know it.  And when I said "nothing more than a sixth man type" that wasn't an insult nor was I disparaging him in any way.  There are plenty of players who are "sixth man types" who are extremely valuable contributors around the league more so than the starters who play in front of them.

hes not a good defender...hes a GREAT shooter probably the best in the nba but thats all he does...hes a much better shooting kyle korver...and he has a ridiculous contract for a player like that...why you think seattle hs been trying to deal him

hell be 31 when the season starts...not exactly an old man but in four years when hes retiring iguodala will be coming into his own...if the sixers were missing a shooter as a piece to their nba championship puzzle then maybe you do something like this...but in the position they are in...a rebuilding mode...no way you give up a young potentially great player for a 31 year old


As for Iguadala, there's a chance he could become something in the league, but a star?  Come on.

there as much chance hell be a star as a bust..more than likely hell be in between those two...like i said a larry hughes...remember larry hughes for that chain smoking eurotrashed turnstyle toni kukoc....i dont want that happening again...and in four years when allen is finished we will be where we are now with hughes and kukoc

There are plenty of players who are "sixth man types"

again iggy is already better than a sixth man.....and hes only 22...you might wanna give him another few years before annointing him a 6th man or giving him away for ray allen....getting him out of the black hole that is iverson will help determine what he truly is as well...id like to see him become a focal point before i just get rid of him

[BigEd76]

Nothing says "sixth man" like 164 starts in 164 games in a 2-year NBA career....

[The BIGSTUD]

If he would just drive the ball sometimes, and learn to finish, he'd be fine. He'll never be a pure shooter, but you can develop jump shots. Ron Artest's shot has much improved since he's come into the league.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Ray Allen might be more valuable to other teams than he is to the Sixers, but I guarantee at least 25 NBA GM's would take Iguodala over him if they had to choose... including Seattle and Philadelphia.

[reese125]

rebuilding for the sixers--no Ray Allen. Its common logic. You dont rebuild around 30+ year old players. you take a young superstar and focus on future 1st rounders. Hell, if there is any chance to get Greg Oden, we have our next Amare Stoudamire, no question.

Iggy is a tough analysis, based on the fact that when 2 of your stars in Webber and Iverson predominantly have the ball in their hands the majority of the plays called, its tough to get your points and get involved. They need more plays where Iggy is in motion, rather having him plant on the wing waiting for the play to develop and Iverson holding the ball for 20 out of the 24 seconds. Now, make him one of your focal points, he's proven he can put up 20+ and fill every stat category. He just need to develop consistency. I think once one of those jokers are off the team, he'll develop some bigtime confidence and take the game into his hands more. He has the athleticism to do it, he just needs to be able to create his own shots better, work on his jumper, and in time he will no doubt be able to do that
