lol...you didnt read a word i said...keep on keepin on...

[Wingspan]

the difference is mo shows true emotion that shows he truly cares...he comes on radio programs every week...he is very accessable to his fanbase...hes a philly legend and adopted son...and the fans repsect that...reid on the other hand acts as if hes in cloak and dagger...he shows zero emotion or care for his team or its fans...hes doesnt know the first thing about being a philadelphian...and he obviously could care less about the people who support the team he coaches

reid has a great relationship with fans. there are countless stories. even i have one...i told here before.

he doesnt show emotion at his press conferences. and he doesnt dime out his players publicly. his players love him for that.

at the same time he doesnt care what we think he should do. but he absolutley cares about the fan. no doubt.

lol...you didnt read a word i said...keep on keepin on...

i sure did.
you said the sixers should be loyal to iverson and not trade him because he's a franchise legend...that they owe it to him.

and i'm still laughing.

2003 Seattle traded Gary Payton and Desmond Mason to Milwaukee for Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, Ronald Murray, and a 2003 first-round draft pick or two 2003 second-round draft picks.

if it were just payton that would be one thing but mason was a good young player himself

that was aging vet and good young player for very good young player

ex. iverson and iguodala for mcgrady

[reese125]

you asked for young talent (not to mention a 1st rd'er on top), you got it....with a greazy pork sandwhich served in a dirty ashtray 

[ice grillin you]

i asked for old end of career players for young players...not old and young for young

put that in your roast pork and smoke it

[BigEd76]

name me a trade in the history of the salary cap era where a guy at the end of his career was traded for promising good young players...it simply doesnt happen

Unless it's a 6+ player trade, it can't happen in the salary cap era because the veterans make over $10M a year while the promising young players make $1M-$3M a year.

[ice grillin you]

which is another reason it will never happen

the best you can hope for is a iverson for garnett type trade...which is fine if you think that will magically turn around the team or give them a promising future...but fact is it wont...which is why i think they should just wait out his contract...

however if youre a person that just wants to get rid of iverson just because you dont like him...then im sure someone will accomodate the sixers

[BigEd76]

The only way you'd be able to pull off a deal like that would be to acquire someone in the first or second year of a contract that was recently max extended....for example, a sign-and-trade with Chris Bosh this summer...

[hunt]

almost every nba trade involves multiple players thrown in to make the salaries match up & i'm sure an iverson trade would too.  at the very minimum, it would have to be something like iverson for young guy with talent + crappy guy with higher salary to make trade work...there would probably be even more players involved to make salaries work.
of course, they won't trade iverson because he's the team hero and they owe him the courtesy of keeping him around so they'll suck for an extra 2 years.

The only way you'd be able to pull off a deal like that would be to acquire someone in the first or second year of a contract that was recently max extended....for example, a sign-and-trade with Chris Bosh this summer...

iverson for terry (sign & trade) and one of the mav's swingmen, preferably howard.

yes.

[BigEd76]

Terry turns 29 in September, so he's only a year or 2 younger than AI...

[ice grillin you]

exactly

and hes not that good anyway

[hunt]

terry is a very good player and will get big $ this offseason...he'd give them a legit pg (who actually plays pg).  adding howard at sf would be a huge upgrade a sf...and he's young.

if you guys think they'll do better than terry & howard, get ready to be severly disappointed when they trade a1 this summer.

[ice grillin you]

they wont even get terry and howard...i would never ever expect more than them

but even if they did it wouldnt make them any better...in fact their team would be worse
