Sixers Off-Season Thread

Willie's is 6 years 20 million from what I've read. Not sure if it's confirmed yet.

Korver 6/25 Green 6/20

I like both deals a lot.

[Mad-Lad]

Korver and Willie both have deals...Korver's is for 6 years

WOO-HOO!

Burrell, a lumbering baserunner, could have settled for a double. Maybe before closer Billy Wagner recently started barking about the team's often complacent play, he would have.

He didn't last night.

"That's what I'm talking about," said Wagner, who might have lost the game if not for the big hits. "Pat stretching that into a triple - that was huge. The home run was a plus."

It was Wagner's opinion 3 weeks ago that, given their energy level at the time, the Phillies couldn't make the playoffs. And now?

"We've played scrappy. We've played with a lot of urgency," Wagner said. "This team's got a lot of character."

Poor Wags last night...I didn't realize how many pitches he threw. And it was BRUTAL outside yesterday. Maybe the worst suffocating humidity I've felt in years.

Hmmm.....good sixers info there

Didn't you hear?  Billy King wound up exectuing a sign and trade, bringing Burrell and Wagner to the Sixers.  The Phillies acquire John Salmons and Aaron McKie.

hmmmm, yeah. As if I quoted a Phillies thread and put it in the Sixers thread.    The board burps like that from time to time.

[mikey418]

I know...just fun to pick on you for something other than your enormous height

[hunt]

billy king's idea of a successful offseason is re-signing the guys who helped make the team mediocre & doing little else. 

anyway, i don't mind the korver/green deals although i would have prefered shorter deals...the $$$ part seems okay.

[BigEd76]

Sammy D is back.....6-year deal

[SD_Eagle5]

My connection is slow out here (keeps timing out). Is this the $70-$75 million deal that was discussed a week or so ago?

[Larry]

Yup.   Also makes you wonder who'll be waived with the Allan Houston clause.

[SD_Eagle5]

Yup.   Also makes you wonder who'll be waived with the Allan Houston clause.

Maybe McKie or Mashburn.

[WEST is GOD]

I hope it's less than that. I hope BK got him for under 60 million.

Now that everyone is signed it's time to use the MLE.

Jaric, Finley if cut, Walker are the only 3 names I'm interested in that are left.
