Sixers Season thread 2

[hunt]

Yeah, thats obvious. But we've been down this road before. Given the situation with how this team has been built they aren't going to win one with AI nor are they going to win one without him. Because if you subtract him and add another "max player" you still have the same cast of misfits as a suppoting cast, right?

So you take out AI's 34ppg and add in some other superstar's 25-30ppg and where are e at? The same place as we are now.

no.  you're rebuilding & changing the entire makeup of the team...hopefully things get better.
you're not just subtracting iverson's stats & replacing them with somebody else's stats...that's ridiculous.
as it stands right now, they're gonna be around a .500 team with ai as the focal point of the team.  that's not good enough, imo.

They don't need to get rid of Iverson to build a contending team.  They've already proven that they can be a championship contender without him.  The reason this is a .500 club is because they've made some piss poor decisions when it comes to the players they put around AI.  They've had too much money tied up in worthless players which has affected their ability to bring in any talent via free agency.  And I'm not even going to talk the draft.

he has good assist numbers, isn't that what a point guard is supposed to do.

it's like the Chris Rock bit, "Well, I take care of my kids.  That's what you are supposed to do you stupid mother farger."

How about we count the number of times AI gets an assist and compare it to the number of times he brings the ball down the court and shoots it without letting Iggy, Webber or Korver touch it first?  Which number is higher?

I couldn't tell you, but he is getting everyone involved.  He is shooting over 45% from the field, scoring at will, and distributing the ball well.  We could argue all day whether or not the team with Iverson as it's currently constructed can do any damage in the near future, but I find attempting to criticize his play this year absurd.

Apparently Ron Artest wants out of Indy.

Billy King should be on the phone right now trying to get a deal done. He is exactly what this team needs.

yeah, but there's not enough talent on the Sixers for the Pacers to get equal return.  he may have to get another team involved.  or five.

artest would be nice, but there is no possible way they get him. the sixers have 1 person with trade value, andre igoudala, and hes not being traded.

[hunt]

if the pacers want somebody who's exactly the opposite of artest, the sixers could give them korver.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I would trade Korver for Artest in a heartbeat.

[Mad-Lad]

I would trade Korver for Artest in a heartbeat.

I'd throw Artest into the sun in a heartbeat.  Haven't we dealt with enough locker room cancer over the past 8 months or so?

[MDS]

well duh. but the pacers wouldnt.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Who wouldn't like to see a riot at The Wach?

how many people do you need for it to officially qualify as a riot? 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Good point.

the t-wolves start 2 white guys...this one's in the bag.
