Sixers Off-Season Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

That dude who wrote that in the NY paper is the same guy who Jasner and another NY writer who was on DNL were ripping into one night.

Jasner and the other NY writer were blasting Mitch Lawrence because he wrote a piece on Webber's "outburst" in Atlanta this year.

The thing is -- Lawrence wasn't even in ATL nor did he speak to anyone about it. But yet he made it sound like he was right there on the bench.

I don't put much stock in it to be honest.

On Espn, webber said the reports were a lie. 

Eh, everyone knew the NY media was at it again with their bull shtein.

It doesn't matter what Webber says or thinks because he's a fargin' bum.

[bowzer]

"It's a lie," Webber said in a statement released by the team. "There's no way it is true. I have no issue with Allen Iverson and I look forward to next season and building a championship team."

Huh? How do you figure?

It's hard to find a player with so much talent who has come up small in so many big spots as many times as Chris Webber has throughout his career.

"It's a lie," Webber said in a statement released by the team. "There's no way it is true. I have no issue with Allen Iverson and I look forward to next season and building a championship team."

yeah...like a player is gonna come out & say anything other than that.


anyway, it's widely known that it's not easy to play with ai...whether webber actually said it or not.  did any of you see stackhouse's comments on comcast last night?

Screamin' A

"I'm telling you I never said that b.s. about A.I.," Webber said vehemently over and over again, adding that he already had called Iverson. "I love A.I. I love being back East. I've got no problems with Allen and I don't know where the hell anybody got that from.

"I have a problem with me. I've got a problem with the fact that I can't run the way I used to, that my legs aren't as strong as they need to be, that my game isn't where it needs to be for me to be what I used to be. And that's what I'm determined to work on.

"My plan is to take two weeks off. After that, I'm back in the gym working on my body, getting in tip-top shape so I can show this town what I'm all about. As for all that talk about me saying something about A.I., that's a... lie. The person I have the biggest problem with is me."

Webber isn't fond of O'Brien. Plain and simple. While it's been said that Webber mentioned Iverson's propensity to shoot too much and always pass later near season's end, I've heard it's O'Brien he blamed for his travails. Not Iverson.

Webber believes that Iverson only does what O'Brien plans for him to do, that his desire to be a facilitator was squelched immediately upon his arrival, which set the stage for some of his struggles. He doesn't believe that O'Brien can be talked to or reached, that the coach is even remotely interested in ingratiating himself with his players. That's one of the reasons a few players privately intimated they would inquire about O'Brien's future in Philadelphia once the season ended.

so today we believe sas?   


btw, i have no doubts that the players dislike obie so i have no problem with that part.

[hunt]

i wouldn't mind seeing philly native eddie griffin in a sixers uniform next season....he has some baggage but he's 6'10, can play the 3 or 4 & can even shoot the 3 ball.
he's a free agent who "only" made $720K this season so you never know.

[PhillyGirl]

I think most SAS haters still think he knows (and ONLY knows) basketball.

If he could stick with that sport, and keep his incessant racial crap out of his columns and stop screaming constantly....he would be tolerable and believable. Its when he starts spewing about stuff he knows nothing about (football, baseball, hockey...you all remember my emails with him regarding the Phillies where he blatantly said he doesn't watch baseball but someone told him something so he reported it as fact) that he makes himself an ass.

[hunt]

i'm not even sure he knows basketball.   he just yells a lot.
