King was on WIP this morning and said that they're leaning towards using the amnesty thing, but wouldn't say on who...

Who else could it possibly be? It's definitely McKie.

BigEd76 · August 09, 2005, 10:19:04 AM

Cheeks has talked about keeping him though, and with the uncertainty of Green, who knows. It could be Ollie instead....

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 09, 2005, 10:25:08 AM

Does it really matter? They both suck.

King already mentioned he likens this team to the team that went to the finals a few years ago.

BigEd76 · August 09, 2005, 10:34:33 AM

Cut 'em both and sign URLAKKKKKKKER!

...a team that was lucky as hell to get to the finals and extremely outmatched once they did?

Billy was on DNL today...I wish Barkann would've asked him something of substance like if McKie is going to be waived or if they plan to spend the MLE.

He did say that up until the day he signed Sammy he had GMs calling him for a sign & trade for "an all-star player in return".

who needs an all-star when you have sammy and his 8 pts/7 boards/1.5 blocks/5 fouls per game?

no kidding.

it's just king's way of saying, "you should trust me because we had one great season 5 years ago."

MURP · August 09, 2005, 12:40:20 PM

pretty much. and the irony is that King didnt do anything except resign a guy. So basically King is saying that when he doesnt do anything (besides resign players) the 76ers are good. ha.

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 09, 2005, 01:25:24 PM

Not true. That season, they unloaded Ratliff and his injured and got the last decent year out of Mutombo.

Regardless, Billy King is quite overrated.

Basketball sucks.

MURP · August 09, 2005, 01:30:22 PM

I believe he was referring to the offseason, which is now. Not a trade during the season, like Mutombo.

Hockey is just a month away.
