Sixers offseason

[ice grillin you]

Right now, the leading bidders look like Boston (offering Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, or anyone but Paul Pierce), Atlanta (Josh Smith, Marvin Williams and/or Al Harrington) and Golden State (pick any three).

if these potential deals have even a half truth to them then i am pleasently surprised in that they are going to get more than i thought...in fact i do any and all of them right this second...

I agree 100%, if they do the one with Denver I will boycott the Sixers until King gets fired.  That of course probally means we will see that deal

If Billy King acquires Kenyon Martin he should be shot and his body dumped in the Delaware.

That should have happened a long time ago.

I just dont understand the "pick any 3" nonsense for Golden State--like they are so willing to bump any 3 guys. The Boston trade I dislike because although Al Jefferson will be a nice force inside, Telfair is questionable. Even after his thumb fully healed, he still couldnt make the starting squad on Portland behind Steve Blake. Thats worrisome right there.

Atlanta trade i love. Josh Smith played like He-Man the second half of last season and he Harrington would make this team nice for years to come. The only problem I feel is that Harrington will fall to Indiana.

So, it will be announced never?

Green, a fourth-year pro, is expected to agree to a five-year, $16 million deal similar to one he was on the verge of signing when he tore his left ACL playing summer league ball in Detroit last July.

"We're real close," Green said on Sunday night. "Everything's going smooth. We're trying to finish up the last little details."

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[SunMo]

that's a nothing contract, not a big deal really

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

BK should be burned at the stake before this deal is made.

[ice grillin you]

yeah that deal is nothing...if anything its a good thing...ties up a young player at a very small price...which makes him very tradable and in turn allows for him to be included in deals that need salary matching

i'd love to watch a1 implode when he finds out that the coach he quit on is coming back....but he'll be gone by then.

oh well.



and the green signing is crap, imo....too many years for a guy who's nothing special.  it doesn't kill them financially though.  i'll be a lot angrier if they decide to bring salmons back.

[BigEd76]

So do a 2/$6M deal instead.  He's already been burned with these stupid long contracts too many times....

[phattymatty]

i don't even remember chris ford being the coach.

[BigEd76]

He took over 3 years ago when Ayers was fired...
