2008-2009 Philadelphia 76ers Season Thread

[bowzer]

Chance Iguodala makes it with Ray Allen banged up?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Seems pretty quiet on the trade front...

Anything rumors or comments made on Andre Miller?

What about acquiring someone?

[hunt]

i think the plan is to re-sign a 33 year old miller at the end of the season & wait for iggy & young to magically turn into jordan & pippen.

could happen.

[BigEd76]

Eskin says nobody is interested in Miller and a lot of teams are worried about the luxury tax.

[phattymatty]

i think the sixers are just going to have to bite the bullet and keep miller.  but what i would love to see is them trading him to portland and somehow getting jerryd bayless back in return.  they have enough young guys (and steve blake) where they can take a chance on an old veteran and give up a younger guy.  not sure how the salaries would work, they'd probably have to throw in a high-paid scrub like raef lafrentz to make it work, but i'd be cool with getting bayless.  him and lou taking turns at the point wouldn't be too bad.

[ice grillin you]

i like bayless but hes a shoot first point guard which is exactly what they dont need...what they need is a rondo type that can get up the floor and thinks pass...at this point id resign miller at a couple years and draft a point to learn under him...you cant trade him because theres no teams around the league that are an improvement at the one away from challenging for a title...its either teams that dont have a point and stink or teams that are good but wouldnt become substantially better with miller...keep him let him make your team better for a year or two then hand the baton off to his replacement...who that might be i have no idea

[BigEd76]

Stephen Curry and Ty Lawson should be available around the Sixers' pick.  Curry's more of a 2 though but damn he can shoot....

does every pg you reference have to be compared to rondo? you act like you liked him before the draft or something

nicely done




and easy lawson is an obese midget who i want no part of

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I don't remember IGY swinging from anyone's balls pre-draft more than he was with Rondo.

[Geowhizzer]

He did.

[rjs246]

Wow.

the only problem is Curry is not a a 2-guard in the NBA.

If anything youre looking at a JJ Reddick type player off the bench in the NBA unless he pulls a big time transition over to PG

[BigEd76]

another pathetic effort tonight

[SD_Eagle5]

They did the exact same thing last season, went into the all star break on a roll then threw up a clunker to Minnesota.
