Sixers offseason

[reese125]

the thing that keeps bothering me here is the fact that Billy King holds the keys to this very important decision. This draft and the AI deal (more so the AI deal  if it goes down---and I think it will) will affect our wins and losses for so many years to come and its scary. He hasnt exactly been the Joe Dumars type.  In fact--what has been the best deals he has made since his championship run? Guess who was helping him in the picking of those players? Yours truly Larry Brown.

The way Im looking at this for King is from a sales cold-calling perspective. Almost like, after so many tries, your bound to get a hit...its a numbers game..." This city cant go through a Barkley type deal here again, so these coaches seriously need to find players that can make these surrounding young players spark.

2 important needs here: find a PG that can run the open floor and find the open man. Imagine Korvers numbers if we had a Steve Nash "type"? (Raja Bell would  be a joke on any other team). Secondly, find an "aggressive" post player that can play DEFENSE and play with his back against or towards the basket. Imagine Iggys numbers if we had more of a post presence? Fill those 2 needs and half your battle is won

Iverson doesn't have the insane trade value some of you are giving him credit for.

[Rome]

Blasphemer!!!11!1

[reese125]

Yeah, but no matter he is the ONLY true trade value we have to work with now not later. If your Billy King, you see your team is going to be operating in the red for years to come if you dont make things happen

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Right.  I'm just saying you can't necessarily expect to fill all the team's needs by trading away Iverson.

[reese125]

I know..its wishful thinking, and the team needs to do alot more than what I stated. They need a kickstart of some sort--and a fruitful AI trade can do just that for the future

[Magical_Retard]

as much as i dont wanna see AI traded (still holding out for KG being traded here) i wouldnt mind the j rich trade with golden state.

[The BIGSTUD]

I'd take the GS trade, but not if we include the 13th pick in it. I'd do it if we got to keep the pick.

[Dillen]

I'd take the GS trade, but not if we include the 13th pick in it. I'd do it if we got to keep the pick.

Obviously. If any Sixer fan didnt do Iverson for 9, Richardson and Murphy they'd be one of the dumbest Sixers fans in the world.

[The BIGSTUD]

It's not that much of a steal. It's not like Richardson has won anything in this league.

I'd do it, but only because AI is 31. If AI was 5 years younger I laugh at that trade.

[reese125]

forget about winning anything. with j-rich youd be getting a prolific scorer night in and night out, rebounds and assists. Murphy-double double threat every night, 3 point range and a pick. Yeah, thats a steal in my book, but a trade that will never happen

[The BIGSTUD]

With J Rich and Murphy you'd have two good players, but the question is, are they the type of players that can win you championships?

Again, I'd do the deal, but I'm just arguing that it isn't a complete and total steal. That would be getting Wade or Lebron.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yo, I am an AI fan but I would do that GS deal in a goddamn second.

And the three-way deal that is rumored with us getting Boozer is crap. Pure crap. No one wants Boozer. He's slop.

[Seabiscuit36]

And he's a drunk just look at his name.
