Sixers Season 3

Rome · April 11, 2006, 12:01:55 PM

Hopefully they'll get Fran Vasquez in next year from Europe, just miss out on the playoffs this year and secure a high lottery pick in the 2006 draft.

Next year will be the last in the holding pattern they find themselves in. In 2007, Grant Hill's deal finally washes out and they'll be able to rid themselves of that thief once and for all.

Quote"After the trade deadline, I looked in the mirror and said I've got to do a better job," King said. "It's been the most frustrating year in my involvement in basketball."
King added: "There's some guys I know for sure won't be back."

Quote"There's some things going into this summer that I know need to be addressed," King said. "We've got to get back to playing defense. That's got to be at the forefront.
"Last year, I went in with the approach of retaining our free agents, this year we're going in that we're gonna build a team that starts with defense. Not just defensive guys, guys with an attitude."
"This season Mo's done a good job, I'm looking forward to this summer, sit down with Mo. In evaluating, maybe I could've gotten him a couple more pieces and made his job a lot easier. I've got to look at it and not be held hostage by any players on the roster to make us go in the right direction."

nice, lets just game the same team that took us to the finals and make them all a few years older and slower. i like the concept.

will somebody please tell Ratliff to hang up the Keds with the velcro straps for christs sake. evry year in fantasy they tell you he is going to put up big stats on the block and rebound category, every year he blows. If King even thinks of that trade with him and snow, not only will he be fired the next year, he'll be caned on broad st right next to mcnabb

cant friggin believe the Bulls beat the Nets last night. Ive watched almost every Bulls game, because I had Hienrich for fantasy and they are not even in the same class as the Nets. That team stinks and gets blown out by the good teams all the time. Blame that win on the Bulls home crowd and lazy defense by the Nets.

Making hard for the Sixers I tell ya. I wonder if Mo continues with the double-headed monster in the middle with Dalembert and Hunter? Defense has picked up with it....

you do realize you dont want the sixers in the playoffs right?

hunt · April 12, 2006, 08:49:10 AM

yeah, really...i was thrilled when i saw the bulls won.

btw, did anybody see billy king's interview on csn where he said they're going to basically "start over" this offseason and build a team built around defense?

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 12, 2006, 08:52:21 AM

Isn't that the same interview to which you posted blurbs just a few posts ago?

you do realize the Sixers dont see it that way and with our luck, they will make it... Im not going to sit here and root for the friggin Bulls regardless. Screw the lottery balls, this years draft is the worst in 10 years.

getting in the lottery with a chance to steal a top ten pick>getting embarrassed by the pistons and picking 16th in the draft

i don't think so...it was an interview with the lovely dei lynum. i saw part of it yesterday and the phrase "start over" caught my attention. what does it say about the job king has been doing when he says they have to start over?
firing that bozo should be step 1 in "starting over:.

how's he gonna start over? AI is tradable, but I don't think Webber is
