Sixers 2007 Off Season Thread

[hunt]

2 possible trades:

pick 12, pick 30, & hunter to charlotte for pick #8...sixers like brewer, noah, b.wright, or green at #8...really like brewer.

pick 12 & pick 21 to mil for pick #6...sixers only do this if horford or yi are there at 6...horford won't be so that leaves the chinaman    .

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

How tall is this China guy?  Are we basically talking about a poor man's Yao Ming?

[BigEd76]

he's a Chinese version of Nowitzki or Gasol, but there's questions about the talent he was going against

[hunt]

yep...he's more of a finesse player & they compare him to dirk or gasol.  he's a 7'0 pf/sf.

I read somewhere (today's Inky, I think) that they don't have any love for Brewer. Maybe a smokescreen, I dunno.

Apparently Milwaukee is willing to deal that 6 because they want Chinaman and he doesn't want them. Nor does China...they want him in a big market (and Philly is acceptable).

I'd be cool with Jeff Green...I like him. Him at the 3 and Iggy at the 2 is okay.

But I really want a PF...Horford or Thornton.

[ice grillin you]

im not a jeff green fan at all...imo hes a classic college player who wont translate into the pros....brewer on the other hand has a huge upside...i like him...but none of these guys is worth trading up for...at least not giving up 21 to do it...conley and horford thats it...players potentially as good as these other guys can be found at 21 and id rather have two picks to get one right than to trade up and hope a green or brewer turn out

I feel the same way for the most part, plus Green is similar to Iguoudala/Carney. If they trade up and Brandon Wright is there that would be my pick. I think they'd have to be crazy to pass on him.

i'm a huge jeff green fan but even i don't think he's a good fit for the sixers.

i think brewer is gonna be a great pro and he'll work in nicely with what the sixers already have.

I'd be all over that top trade if it got them Wright or Green. I know Wright is skinny, but he really got stronger last year. He didn't really play like it, but I could tell from seeing his arms at the end of the year. I hate Noah and don't see a need for Brewer.

The Bucks want Yi but there are some issues about him playing for them if they draft him, but they'd probably rather take him than trade down. They could trade him anyways, and they'd have more leverage if they actually have the player too.

[phattymatty]

it's funny that even a dude playing in a communist country doesn't want to go to milwaukee.

[Rome]

Milwaukee's got beer.  Lots of beer.  What's not to like?

[rjs246]

Midwestern women.

[phattymatty]

and their awful accents.

[The BIGSTUD]

The Sixers like Noah a lot. I can just tell from all BK's comments on him. I wouldn't be surprised if the Sixers traded up high for him.

[Dillen]

No kidding you farging idiot. Anyone that has read anything he's said about this years draft could come to that conclusion.

That said, Billy hardly ever tips his hand. I wouldn't be surprised to see him trade up for Noah tomorrow, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even make a push for him.
