Sixers offseason

[hunt]

i didn't hear it but apparently weirdbeard eskin said the deal will be rondo, g. green and gooden (this is why they are waiting until july 1st) to the sixers wally to Cleveland and a1 to the celtics.

eskin said it and i believe him.

mmmmmmmm rooooooooooonnnnnnnndooooooooeeeeeee

If that were in fact true that would not be a bad deal, but isn't Green a 2/3 much like we already have?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You think that if the Sixers acquire Rondo, he starts immediately at the 1, or do you think Willie Green will be tops on the depth chart there?

C - Dalembert, Hunter
PF - Gooden, Webber
SF - Iguodala, G. Green, B. Jones
SG - Carney, Korver, Williams
PG - W. Green, Rondo, please God get rid of Kevin Ollie

I actually kind of like that as the start of a young team.

i think green is another high flying 2/3...i honestly don't know much about him except that he came right out of high school & he's really skinny.

and i don't think willie green can play pg full time so it would most likely be ollie or rondo...unless they make another move.  carney & iggy aren't the kind of guys who create their own shots so the sixers need a pg who can create shots so i think rondo would be an excellent fit.

so what does July 1 have to do with Gooden?

[hunt]

it's his birthday?


actually i'm not sure...i know byc players can't be traded until july 1 due to some salary cap rule.

new fiscal year Mo--salaries are adjusted under the books

hunt, if you mean create shots for somebody else to shoot your right. Other than that he is a very poor shooter. I like that he is a pure PG and is lightning quick, but time will tell how he will be at the NBA level though--because he will need to score

I think the trade is god awful to be honest. Can anybody else see that there is not one person aside from Webber that can contribute 15 points on a consistent basis on this team--even with the trade? We need a consistent scorer or this team will be a laughing stock

[SunMo]

this team is going to be a laughing stock next year, no matter what if they trade AI.  this is all about getting younger, quicker, and this team growing in the next 2 or 3 years.

i would love to watch a laughingstock of a team that works their ass off, tries to play defense, and is getting better with each game.

i think i love you.

it's a normal reaction.  i'm very cuddly

[reese125]

see theres your problem...they dont have to be a laughing stock, especially when trading your superstar and they could possibly get a veteran shooter with the other youngbucks.

I dont think you want to see a game that produces 72-80 points on a consistent basis. If you do, the WNBA needs followers. I highly doubt Cheeks and King want a laughing stock on the court

[hunt]

who's the veteran shooter they could get?  i'm thinking they'll plug in carney & iggy at sg and sf so i'm not sure where a vet shooter would fit...unless they want to bring carney off the bench.

anyway, i'm all for getting the best possible talent in return for a1....unless they do something like the baron davis trade that was rumored, this team could struggle to score unless iggy really steps it up or carney surprises us as a rook.
