2008 76ers Offseason Thread

[SunMo]

i've heard all the names, but i don't know enough about any of them to have an intelligent opinion

moving up to #2 to take Beasley would be swell though

[SD_Eagle5]

I think they'll wind up with either Speights or Arthur...I'd say Ajinca is the darkhorse. Seems like trading up will be easier this year if they chose to go that route, they have rights to the Utah pick as an asset.

no frenchies please.

Ed likes the Europeans

[BigEd76]

Seems like it'll be Speights or Arthur, with a possibility of trading into the late 1st or upper 2nd for Jason Thompson...

i wish the sixers has a second rounder.  (they don't right?)  because i think joey dorsey is going to be a great pro and he's going to be on the board for a while.

no frenchies please.

hes black tho so its ok

i think they are probably going big but something tells me that stefanski might trade up for one of the points...gordon or augustine...also in the trade dept id love to see them tray to do something for okafor...hes a rfa and with charlotte having a nice choice of big men at 9 especially if love or lopez were to fall they may be willing to let okafor go

if the sixers go big the question is do you go for one of the low block bigs (speights  or thompson type)...thompson btw is from mt laurel...or one of the athletic bigs (green or jordan)

i want jj hickson or speights...the sixers have more than enough athleticism and need a strong big bodied inside force than can if nothing else rebound the hell out of the ball and defend

Hickson would be acceptable for sure.

FYI, here's the guys that fail the igy test and should be removed from consideration immediately:

Joe Alexander
Kevin Love
Kosta Koufos
Ryan Anderson
Trent Plaisted
all Europeans except the Frenchies

white basketball players dont always pass the look test but many of them can play unlike outside linebackers

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't know enough about these guys other than the top players available.

However, they need someone who can post up and grab rebounds. Because when they have a need to slow it down and actually play offense, they have no one who can do that down low.

I would also love to see them go after Okafor. Getting him would be a big time deal. I wonder if they would have to move Iggy do get it done though.

Keith Brumbaugh is a local kid who has top-5 pick talent but he also has been in all sorts of trouble off the court for several years now.

He might be worth taking a shot on if you have a late second rounder.

whats charlotte doing...sixers need to trade for augustine or felton

[Don Ho]

that shot of robin lopez with that hat on was priceless.
