Sixers 2007 Off Season Thread

Seattle tore it up...

for real,  durant and green in the same draft is sick.  not to mention wally and delonte west. 

green getting picked to play alongside durant makes him 10x better than he would be normally.

[phattymatty]

i still can't find anywhere a detailed analysis of what we did.

we drafted both of those foreign guys, and now we have neither of them.  how?

can someone show me a link or something?  i'm an idiot.

Analysis in the morning after is real hard to find.


76ers traded Koponen to Portland for Derrick Byars and cash.
76ers traded Fesenko to Utah for Herb Hill and cash.

Who the hell knows what this means. I just hope the Sixers realistically plan on playing Sammy, Young, Carney, Igy and Miller.

And they'll be re-signing Rashard Lewis too.

I think their GM is some 30yr old dude or I might be confusing him with Portland's GM, but either way both of those teams got it done.

thanks.  thats all i wanted.  i'm ok with both of these simply because i don't know anything about either foreign guy.

I guess Iggy plays the 2, which is moronic since his perimeter game is average. This draft has Larry Brown written all over it, he loves the athletic small forward types.

[Dillen]

Now Cheeks just needs to play everyone that needs minutes to prove how far along they are in their development. This means:

No more Willie Green and Kevin Ollie at point over Lou Will
No Willie Green at SG over Young/Carney
No meaningless Korver minutes at SF over Young/Carney
No meaningless Joe Smith minutes at PF over Hunter, Hill and Smith


So pretty much, just trade Green and Ollie for anything you can get. Keep Joe Smith because the young bigs need help, but don't go over 20-25 minutes a night.

Gargano said that the Sixers offered all three picks, Carney, and Hunter to Milwaukee for #6 and Dan Gadzuric's contract

[SD_Eagle5]

I heard that too, Milwaukee is insane for turning that down. Yi doesn't want to play there, so his trade value is only going to drop from this point on.

[bowzer]

Time to make a lowball offer for Yi with our overload of swingman.  Nice job Milwuakee, draft a guy whose country won't let him play in your city.  Carney + Korver + Hunter for Yi??

[MDS]

Were the Sixers that high on that General Tsao?

[SunMo]

no, they make trade offers like that for guys they think can't play

WAHHHHHHHHH

[bowzer]

Press Conference isn't until tomorrow.  Yi wants to be traded by Friday.  Still a possibility Billy gets his man?
