i've seen/heard several actual quotes from webber since the trade & not one made me believe he enjoyed his 20+ games with the sixers...especially his comments after they were eliminated.

IF webber made those comments to his friend, i'm sure he didn't intend on them being made public...that's why you see the denial...it's damage control.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't think he made the comments -- just my opinion. Of course the AI haters want to think that he did so it can be another rip against Allen, but I just don't think he said it. And if he did say something like that, it was gained 3rd hand by that writer who has already proved that he doesn't like Webber.

The writer doesn't associate a name with the quote, he just says it is a friend of Chris'. So he passes the blame off there. That's why I rip on Eckel alot for his use of anonymous sources.

If he wasn't happy and didn't say that stuff I couldn't see him denying it so strongly. Especially since his season ending comments were so vague as to who he was blaming. If he said it then I could see a half-assed denial, but nothing as strong as the way he said it.

[hunt]

i don't really care about that particular article or if i'm labeled an "ai hater"....i'm going by countless interviews i've seen with webber since the trade....he wasn't happy.   
comcast interviewed stackhouse after the webber story & even stack said ai was tough to play with because he dominates the ball & never met a shot he didn't like.  it's not like any of this is a revelation.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I know that none of it is earth shattering news.

But how long did Stack play with him? 1 and a half years. And that was when AI was just coming into the league.

And AI has become much better since 1996-1997.

I just don't believe that NYDN piece. And I think once Webber has a chance to get as healthy as he can and once he can go through a training camp in this system, then they'll be a nice 1-2 punch.

Obie has to be the one to scheme better though. He has to run the offense through Chris more.

If they can get a true PG then it'll be easier, IMO.

[Mad-Lad]

I wouldn't be surprised if Webber said that about AI.  I don't think it's as much a knock against Iverson as it's frustration with being in a system where he doesn't touch the ball very much.  Plus, he sucked donkey when he did touch the ball.

Whether he said it or not, i don't really give a damn.  I just want the Sixers to compete next year.  I just don't know if it's gonna happen or not.

Where's the quotes on O'Brien?

No word on Lofton being actived from the DL yet, but Ryan Howard is in the lineup tonight. As is future hall of famer and our savior, Endy Chavez.

Thats SAS speculating like he did on Sunday. I was referring to his denial being in quotes.

Is Ryan Howard a SF?

Endy Chavez = Spud Webb?

Kenny Lofton making a comeback to basketball to relive his Arizona glory days?

Wrong thread, bro.

Cocaines a hell of a drug 

[PhillyPhreak54]

So I was reading an article on Jay Williams in ESPN Magazine. The article said that he's about ready to start his comeback.

What would you guys think about BK taking a shot on siging him? He's a pure PG. It would be a low-risk deal much like Eddie Griffin was last year.

I'd take a shot at it.

[MURP]

Id take a shot at him, with a sawed off. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm going to have to go ahead and say I'd rather experiment with an expanded role for Kevin Ollie.
