Sixers Season 3

Hornacek waves to the crowd following his Hall of Fame induction ceremony:

Iverson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hornacek.

I'll admit that much.

What is the use of history if it teaches us nothing?

"Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it."

Yeah, I know the quote.  The only problem in applying it to this situation is that this scenario has the potential to be rectified in a better way than the Barkley trade.  It's not making the same mistake over just because a trade is being contemplated.

You're ASSuming that King couldn't get decent value for Iverson by using the Barkley trade as a barometer for potential success.  That is blatant illogic because King didn't make the Barkley trade, someone else did.

Comparing apples to oranges might be the way you analyze a situation but it's certainly not a legitimate one, Homer.

You trust King to rebuild this franchise? I don't.

Hornacek>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MJ

for some reason, ESPN.com has a "trade checker" in regards to the upcoming NBA trade deadline.  Why? I'm not sure.  I was able to trade Webber & Ollie's contracts for Keith Van Horn & Jason Terry's expiring contracts.

That being the first of many moves, it' shows thatI'm OBVIOUSLY on my way to becoming the greatest NBA GM of all time.

fire king...hire madlad.


realgm.com has had one of those trade checkers for years...i'm sure billy king is on there right now cooking up his next deal.

-- Supposedly the Sixers turned down a deal that would've sent AI to Denver for K-Mart, Nene and Earl Watson...

-- Bring a gun, get punished with 2 free tickets to a game

KMart and Webber 

[Magical_Retard]

I think we should just let him get really old, as his quickness dwindles away and attendance continues to slowly drop, as the novelty has completely worn off for Philly fans.  That way, the team can be poor and suck complete ass by the time he leaves or retires.  So, they won't even have the money to rebuild.

That would be the coolest.  While we're at it, let's trade away some more 1st round picks for crappy players with awful contracts!  I mean... that's the way to build the team Billy the King style!  w0ot!


Seriously, thinking this team can still win it all with Iverson at the center is just delusional.

i really dont get this thinking. the team isnt good. so all of a sudden low tickets are AI's fault? the novelty has worn off? take any star on any team...have them rise up...even reach the finals...then completely collapse to mediocrity and u accept that fan base to be happy all the time and have the same attenance? the sixers really havent given the fans anything to cheer about. iverson is having at least as good a season he had in his mvp year, the team around him just isnt the same. and which novelty are u talking about? the one where ppl used to complain about him missing practices or his brushes with larry brown?

not a bad deal if they also got rid of webber somehow.

and i'd rather trade in sixers tickets for a gun.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The whole gun promo has brought on numerous attempts at humor (and bad ones too) by the morning show to compare shooting guns to the Sixers shooting.

Which isn't all that funny especially since the offense isn't the problem.

AI for KMart, Nene and Watson?

Hmmmmmmmmm. No.

I heard on CBS3 that they were talking to the Hawks too. Who in the hell would they get from the Hawks? Zaza Pachulia and the ghost of Jon Koncak?

[hunt]

al harrington has been on the block all season.  do the hawks still have joe johnson?  if so, i wouldn't mind him.


edit...johnson is still on the hawks.

a1 & korver for harrington & johnson works under the cap.
so does a1, hunter, & salmons for harrington & johnson.
and so does webber for harrington & johnson...okay, i know.  why the hell would the hawks do that one?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep. The same Joe Johnson with a $70M contract.

[hunt]

Yep. The same Joe Johnson with a $70M contract.

he's good though....good players tend to have high salaries. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

So do a lot of bad players. This is the NBA...the league where money is free.
