Sixers offseason

[The BIGSTUD]

Sielski chimes in again:

If the Dallas Mavericks do beat the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals, consider this:

Jerry Stackhouse, Keith Van Horn, Toni Kukoc, Bruce Bowen, Speedy Claxton and Larry Brown will have contributed to championship-winning teams; Todd MacCulloch will have played in the NBA Finals; Raja Bell and Tim Thomas will have played in the Western Conference finals.

And the Sixers will still be "building around" Allen Iverson.

He didn't mention Big Dog (who did nothing for the Spurs and won a ring anyway), and Kukoc hasn't done anything since 1998....

Keith Van Horn has done nothing in the playoffs and had his best year here, Jerry Stackhouse was at his best when he was a Piston or a Sixer, Raja Bell went to multiple teams before landing in Dallas, and Tim Thomas couldn't find his way onto a court and was finally CUT by the Bulls before playing.

What a stupid bone-headed article.

You obviously didn't watch much of the playoffs this season.

CSN reported that the NY Times is saying that several teams want Sammy D and he will likely be traded.

Who the hell could want that bucket of crap and his horrible contract?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Actually in the NY Post and from Peter Vescey, so take it FWIW

An attempted restructuring of the 76ers also is in broad progress. Confronted with dwindling head counts, a failure to make the playoffs and a murky future, management is committed to rebuilding. In all likelihood, that means Allen Iverson will be sacrificed for reputable youth and numerous first-round draft picks, not a Kenyon Martin-type long-term contract.

The City of Brotherly Love still fervently feels Iverson. Still, more and more of its fans have stopped "paying" homage where it counts, at the gate. At the same time, strictly on account of A.I., the 76ers are the league's second-biggest road draw.

Denver was intensely interested in acquiring Iverson (for the above mentioned package) at trading deadline this past February. Memphis and Atlanta would be foolish not to seize the opportunity and do whatever it takes to tempt the 76ers here and now. Meanwhile, Samuel Dalembert is definite to be relocated. Despite a fairly prohibitive contract, numerous teams continue to find the 7-footer appealing

Vescy is the worst. He's below Eskin. He knows nothing, knows nobody and literally makes up the crap that he reports.

[BigEd76]

ha....Eskin says Vecsey is usually wrong.

Pot.  Kettle.  Black. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Dalembert sucks.

[Magical_Retard]

[BigEd76]

Western Conference finals

[Rome]

i missed my prom for that game and i dont regret it. IVERSON at his finest!

That may very well be the saddest and funniest thing I've ever read.

[MDS]

I didnt even go to mine

[rjs246]

I for one am shocked.

[MDS]

Yea. I could have gone with some people if I wanted to, but I really didn't want to go. I worked instead.

Yea, I'm really cool.
