well, I know Rescue Dawn(Christian Bale) but never heard of any of the other ones.  Good for him though diversifying

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I wouldn't give up Smith though unless he gets you more than a one-dimensional shooter. It would have to be a player with more of a game than just set jumpers.

I disagree.  The lack of a "set jumper" threat could be the biggest reason the Sixers can't win it all.  Losing Jason Smith would not be overly significant after drafting Speights and signing Brand.

[ice grillin you]

you just gave up a number one pick in carney...giving up another first rounder for what would certainly be a marginal bench shooter would not be wise imo...before they start giving away all their young players for a shooter lets see how much brands presence improves the shooting of iguodala sweet lou ect...

plus i liked what i saw of smith last year and i think he can be a valuable bench guy this season


hes gonna want more than the vet minimum but id love to somehow get roger mason jr...that guy can fill it up off the bench and is a very good shooter...think he had four 30 pt games last year

[Seabiscuit36]

Smith aint bad for a white guy. 

[reese125]

the only issue you have now is a bit of a logjam at the PF position with Brand, Speights, Evans, and Smith (who gets spanked at the center position).

I think something is going to have to go down with one of these players in order to get the full value of these guys

[ice grillin you]

theres no logjam

speights wont play this year

brand will get the minutes and reggie and jason will come off the bench situationally

[reese125]

cool, thanks

[BigEd76]

speights wont play this year

just like Young wasn't supposed to play last year

[reese125]

i had that written out, but I said why bother--Ill just agree with him for the sheer amusement

[ice grillin you]

speights wont play this year

just like Young wasn't supposed to play last year

is this the game where i pick another year and name a player who didnt play his rookie season because ill win

the PF position on the 08 team is different than the SF position on the 07 team

stick to confirming news stories and leave the analyzation to others and then kill yourself for having reese agree with you

[The BIGSTUD]

Speights won't play as much as Thad, but he'll definitely play some.

[reese125]

shtein...Brand wont play anyway because he is a cripple..so I see Speights getting 30+ min a game
