Sixers 2007 Off Season Thread

[Rome]

Darko might actually be a productive player for the Sixers.  He was brutalized in Detroit by Larry Brown and again in Orlando by a coach in Brian Hill who should be coaching in rec. leagues, not the NBA.

The guy definitely has talent.  Whether a guy like Mo Cheeks could coax that talent out of him is another story.

Regardless, he's looking for $10M per year and he's definitely not worth that kind of dough.  Not yet anyway.

Good thing Brown isn't on the Sixers, huh...

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'd take him here. What the hell...give him a shot. He's 7' and has some potential.

Do any of y'all remember that cat they drafted a few years back...some white dude who was hyped because there was footage of him dunking over a car. What was his name?

Ha.  True dat.

Another reason why the Sixers are what they are.

The fact that he was given a job after the bullshtein he pulled speaks volumes about that franchise.

Jiri Welsch was the guy they drafted but I don't remember him being a dunker.  Are you thinking of Marko Jaric?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jaric might be the one. Seeing Darko's name reminded me of him for some reason.

[hunt]

i havent seen a ton of him but what i have seen of mikey moore ive liked...the guy is unbelievably active on the boards can really get up and dunks like a maniac

and he's black!1!

[SD_Eagle5]

I wouldn't mind Darko for the mle which is all we could offer him anyway. FYI -- He has the same agent as Dalembert

for anybody who wants to watch the Sixer summerleage game online

[Dillen]

I've been watching since like 4 minutes left in the 1st. Jason Smith can run for a white guy.

[SunMo]

it's really hard to tell who is who though

[Dillen]

Yeah, I can't tell who any of the black guys are other than Lou Will, and the occasional chance you see a guy shoot left handed, when it would have to be Thad Young.  Amundson and Smith are pretty easy to see. 

[phattymatty]

i watched for about 20 minutes and couldn't even tell what team was witch until i heard rodney carney's name.

[BigEd76]

Looks like the Sixers are changing the white and black jerseys to resemble the red alternate one

(The EA games usually have all the changes before they're announced)

[Dillen]

76ers lost to Detroit 91-89. Lou Will with 32 points on 6-15 shooting, 17-17 FT, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 6 turnovers. He can score, but he really isn't a PG.

Carney with another bad day. 3-13 FG, 12 points, no rebounds or steals in 30 minutes.

Thaddeus had a pretty good day, so did Jason Smith and Herb Hill.
