Sixers Off-Season Thread

I can't believe he is signed for 5 years. Honestly...he sucks and I don't want to watch him play for 5 years. This sucks. FU Billy.

[Sgt PSN]

But after he went to Detroit Larry Brown said that he didn't know what he was supposed to do here.   

[Rome]

I love it when fluffers disregard facts pertaining to this miserable team and cling to age-old horseshtein assumptions instead.

Steven

Hunter

Sucks.


What part of that don't you people understand?  Signing Steven Hunter to the type of deal that King did is absolutely ludicrous.  Hunter sucks.  He sucks, he sucks, he farging sucks!  Get that through your thick heads!  I watched him in Orlando for three years and he's a walking stiff of a disaster.  You do not, repeat, DO NOT PAY HIM THAT KIND OF MONEY!

Christ.

Stick to Schlonging Terrell Owens.  Hunter is a low risk, high reward guy.  2.8 million a year to start, that's nothing for a team over the cap by a mile.  We have a great coach in Lynam, who can develop young guys with potential.  If he comes close to his potential, we have him locked up for 5 years, so he won't just reach it and bolt.  Low risk.. High reward

Does he have naked photos of you or something? Hunter sucks. He's low risk, low talent.

He's better then Marc Jackson, and we dropped from a 4.6 million dollar contract or so to 2.8.  Get ready to eat crow.

Jackson was a solid veteran who could play the 4 and the 5. Hunter is a statue. I could care less about the measly salary dump, we're already a billjillion dollars over as is.

[WEST is GOD]

Hunter isn't very good, but they signed him for potential, and that is it. It was a good deal. It's not a bad deal, you are off your rocker. He makes under 3 million this year. That is what player like him get. What don't you understand about that?

[bowzer]

Jackson could score from the free throw.. that's about it.  He got no rebounds, played awful defense, and was undersized.  We are right around luxury threshold, and supposedly King couldn't take a new deal without making room for it.  3 million dollars for potential seems right to me. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yo! Do you guys realize that you're arguing over the backup goddamn center?!?

I liked Marc Jackson. I liked the fact that he was from here and went to college here and all that good stuff. But let's not forget his terrible series against Detroit. He looked real bad in the playoffs, guys.

I wish Jackson was still here. But he's gone. And the Sixers saved money, right?

Hunter isn't as bad as Mr. Orlando Magic is making it out to seem. He's just jealous that the Magic suck.

[SD_Eagle5]

Hunter isn't as bad as Mr. Orlando Magic is making it out to seem.

Yes he is.

There's a Magic fan on my ship (yes, they do exist). I told him we signed Hunter and he said "good riddance" 

[bowzer]

Why is he wishing good riddance? Hunter wasn't even on the Magic last year. 

[BigEd76]

I don't care how bad he is....he's still better than slow-ass Dale Davis...

[hunt]

hunter is bad...but i'm glad they didn't give him the full MLE.  he's an upgrade over jackson in terms of defense & rebounding but a huge downgrade when it comes to scoring.  this team seriously lacks bench scoring now that jackson and his 10+ ppg are gone.  i'm worried that billy king thinks allan houston is the answer & he'll be next.
btw, i think they still need 1 more big man....unlass you're okay with michael bradley as your 2nd big off the bench.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They're not really going to sign Allan Houston, are they?  Jeezus, BK should be taken out back and shot a la Old Yeller.
