Sixers Season 3

[MDS]

I think a much more invovled Kevin Ollie can lead to a Sixer resurgence in the seconf half of the year. Go team.

what are the names being tossed around?

that's what i'm trying to find out...so far all i heard is that it's someone significant...not a scrub.

the trade was iverson for maggette & wilcox....when the clips traded wilcox for radmanovic, the sixers deal fell through.

damn.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Glad that one fell through.

Maggette and Wilcox?

Boo.

[Rome]

Isn't that the same package the Clippers were offering for Artest?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Pretty much. But Maggette was and I think still is on crutches so Indy wouldn't do it.

Speaking of the Clippers, they just signed Vin Baker.

Just when you think they're about to turn the corner..........

How Elgin Baylor still has a job is one of the great mysteries of modern sport.

Sure, Donald Sterling is a joke of an owner, but still, how many times have the Clippers had a top-5 pick and utterly blown it?

Now they're scraping the likes of Vin Baker off the pavement?

Pathetic.

[Sgt PSN]

The move just doesn't make any sense.  They've got a good squad, they're most likely going to the playoffs and they're the best team in LA right now.  I just don't get how they feel Baker can help them improve at all.

That would have been worse then the Barkley trade.

[phattymatty]

i wouldn't go that far, charles's was the worst in philly history in my opinion. 

maggette's not bad, wilcox can jump but that's about it, he's going to be a bust if he's not already.  very glad the trade didn't go through, and i agree, that makes no sense for the clippers.  looks like they're trying really hard to ruin this good season of theirs.

If this trade would have happened it would have surpassed the Barkley trade by far in terms of stupidity.  At least the Sixers got Hornacek out of it who has a fine player for quite a few years.  Magette and Wilcox are garbage and will be getting less than 5 minutes a game a few years from now if they're even in the league at all.

Lang was decent at Center but he bounced after 1 season. Perry was a so so forward. That trade was awful but this one would be worse. Magette and Wilcox are nowhere close to equal value for Iverson.

maggette is a borderline all-star who plays well on both ends of the floor...that's the best they'll get for a1.
he's lightyears better than hornacek, lang, or perry so you're all way off with the barkley trade comparisons.

if you expect to get someone better than maggette for a1, you're going to be very disappointed when they finally trade him.
