Sixers Off-Season Thread

[WEST is GOD]

That's very good news. The sooner we get a defensive big man in here to back up Sammy, the sooner Marc choke in the playoffs, can't jump, can't run, screams after every rebound, can't defend Jackson gets less minutes. Stromile also would be perfect for coming in and playing big minutes when Sammy gets in foul trouble.

Walker.... very strange. Unless Billy has him playing the 3 which would make the team worse defensively next year than this year I wouldn't understand the signing. Unless Webber gets traded. After watching this team last year and how slow Webber was I'd rather have Walker. I still have a feeling that Webber's knee is going to get healthier and he'll have a good year.

Marshall... shouldn't surprise anyone. Billy loves him, he torched the Sixers plenty of times during the season.

Laettner... I'll pass plain and simple.

This love affair with Walker has to end. Marshall I would like, but I doubt he'd come here and accept a reserve role.

Jasner sez:

-- King has contacted the agents of Antoine Walker, Donyell Marshall, Stromile Swift and Christian Laettner...

Waker - No!
Marshall - Yes
Swift - Yes
Laettner - Hell farg no!

[hunt]

i'd take any of them.

i hate walker & i doubt he'd accept the MLE...but he's a good player & would definitely help...not sure how it would work with him & webber on the court together though. 
marshall would be good for around 20 minutes/game...i'd rather somebody younger who can play starter minutes at SF but he's better than nothing.
swift would be my preference out of these 4 guys...young guy who would be perfect coming off the bench.
i'd even take laettner in the josh davis role off the bench if he comes really, really cheap.

I wouldn't give a squirt of piss for Pierce.  Finley, would be a welcome addition but i'm sure he'll sign elsewhere.

looks like another early exit from the playoffs next year.

I would love to see Finley in Philly this year but I'm not getting my hopes up about that one.

it will be iverson's fault.

Other than Detroit and Miami and Indiana, Sixers are the best team in the east. I think Indiana is going to be better than Detroit next season. If Larry leaves.

I was just thinking the same thing about the Phillies.  They're the best team in the East except for Washington, Atlanta, Florida and NY.

3rd seed beats no seed.

Billy King denied the rumors today

Louis Williams is in town and will be formally introduced tomorrow

[Mad-Lad]

So long, Steph?
<Jul. 6> Nobody's safe with Isiah Thomas running the Knicks. According to the New York Times, two sources said the Knicks are open to moving Stephon Marbury, who was once considered an untouchable.

ESPN Insider Chad Ford has also heard a few rumors involving the Knicks guard. One is a sign-and-trade that would send him to the Sixers for center Samuel Dalembert. The other is a deal with the Hawks for forward Al Harrington.

Billy King would get shot for trading a big man with potential for an overpaid overhyped point guard that automatically makes every team BAD.

[WEST is GOD]

Billy isn't a moron no way he'd make that deal. It doesn't make sense from a lineup perspective either.

The ONLY ONLY way I could see Billy doing that is if we signed Swift as our starting center. Still wouldn't make sense.
