Sixers Season thread 2

Rome · January 30, 2006, 08:26:45 AM

It's no secret that I have no love for Iverson or the way he plays the game. He's a selfish twat on the court and always has been.

They're not going to win anything with him as the focal point of the team.

Bash me all you want about my opinions. I'm right, you're wrong and that's all there is to it.

I really don't care.

I do think it's funny that whenever someone dares mention the possibility that the Sixers might be better off without Iverson, some of you f'n lose it like 10 year-old school girls.

* Sighs *

QuoteI really don't care.

That was a response to FF's comments about Iverson.

I really don't care if they're better with him or without him because I don't care what their record is while he's still a member of the team. When he's gone, I'll be back on board as a fan.

Is that simple enough for you to understand?

hah! all the a1 groupies are in defense mode. i love it.

and i don't think any rational person would say they'd be better off just cutting or not playing him...not that you can do that in the nba. but i do think they'd be better off trading him for a more team oriented star player.

one thing's for sure...they play team basketball when he's not there & i'd rather watch that style of play any day of the week.

ice grillin you · January 30, 2006, 09:06:32 AM

they are a .500 team with iverson or with another 'star' player...if youre talking asthetically id rather watch iverson over any player in the nba

right now at this point in time however for the welfare of the younger players and their development id release iverson or trade him for whatever....i wouldnt even need a star player in return

Rome · January 30, 2006, 09:26:47 AM

You'd release him or trade him for peanuts yet I'm the hater?

Seek help, kid. Seriously.

ice grillin you · January 30, 2006, 09:35:38 AM

im a realest.....you a hater

this is the problem i mentioned earlier in this thread...people are so obssesed with their position on the internet that they cant ever come off it even a little...because they think it hurts their cyber rep...for example hunts dream was for iverson to get hurt and pray the sixers win so he could jump up and down and say i told you iverson sucks then search around in newpaper articles for cryptic quotes that are supposely bashing iverson...thats called an internet sports fan

i on the other hand live in the real world...where i can acknowledge that iverson is one of the 25 best players to ever play in the league and that he makes the team much better yet at the same time know that the younger players futures would be better served without iverson on the team...

and thats me talking about one of my all-time favorite athletes

thats me keeping it real son

realer than an innocent child turned killer

I've agreed with you many times on this point. Give me a decent player in return and I'd have no problem moving him.

don't pretend to know what i think, vanilla. my dream is for the sixers to finally realize that they're going nowhere with a1 & that it's time to trade him & change the structure of the team.
saying they should dump him for nothing is just stupid.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 30, 2006, 11:02:21 AM

Trading Iverson just to trade Iverson is a really stupid idea. Just dumb.

Trading him and getting value that can help the team become elite is a good idea. At least it's admitting that the current plan is not working and trying something that might be productive.

Keeping Iverson is... an idea that is certain to leave the Sixers a notch or three below elite teams. Is Iverson one of the most exciting players in the history of the NBA? Yes. Does he sell tickets? Absolutely, but decreasingly so now that the novelty has worn off. Will he ever be the focal point of an NBA Champion basketball team? No.

hunt · January 30, 2006, 11:10:07 AM

you're such an internet fan.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 30, 2006, 11:13:51 AM

Guilty as charged.

And yes, I'm aware that getting any kind of similar value or someone(s) with more long-term upside for AI is something that would be very difficult to make happen.
