Sixers 2007 Off Season Thread

[The BIGSTUD]

And whats up with GS giving up JRich for Wright? I dont know if I'd like that if I were a Warriors fan.

I love that deal for GS. Richardson was overrated, and after his injury he couldn't jump like he used to. He is an inconsistent shooter, and they got Belinelli to nail shots

[ice grillin you]

young is a solid pick....the rest of the guys range from not very good to garbage...byers farging sucks...

C- grade

I'm amazed you'd single out Byars when they drafted a white guy.

[ice grillin you]

if you suck then you suck that dont me that im hatin

[The BIGSTUD]

Anyone who watched Byars play thinks he can play.

Stephen A Smith and players gets heckled at the draft:

Take a guess at the one player who slapped lil' SAS away.

I'm amazed you'd single out Byars when they drafted a white guy.

the white guy will see more minutes than young this season....and i'm still marveling at how picks 30 & 38 turned into picks 42 & 55.
saving $$$ > drafting best available players

During the press conference today, Young's jersey had no number.  He said he's going to let the fans decide what number he'll wear through an online poll

[Dillen]

My vote is get rid of Willie Green and let Young keep 33.

[BigEd76]

ha

I think they said the choices are 5, 21, 30 or 31

[The BIGSTUD]

21

[hunt]

gotta go with wilbert's old #31.


during the press conference, young also said the he's a great guy & that people love him.

[ice grillin you]

avg 25 & 10 and people will love him

[Dillen]

If anyone sees how Bavcic does say it here. Supposedly he could be really, really good as early as this year. I wouldn't count on it though.

[BigEd76]

Is it a bad sign when 2/3 of your regular roster is in the summer league?  They're sending the entire bench except Ollie...
