2010 Sixers Offseason Thread

i'd wet myself if the wiz stuck with gil and drafted turner at 1.  

i'm honestly not all that much more excited at #2 than i would have been at 6, i think after wall there's a huge drop off, including turner.  i'd still take him at 2 over any of the bigs but i don't think he's a can't miss at all.

i dont even love turner...hes good at everything but not quite good enough at anything

Evan Turner just hit an unreal GW shot.

ive seen ev all year and dook is insane.....

well since Ray Allen and Reggie Miller aren't available at #2, who do you want since Wall won't be there?

im guessing you know the difference btwn a great college player and a great nba player

and where did i say i didnt want turner at two

settle down easy


i dont think 2 = 6 like matty said but i pretty much agree with all else he had to say...id much rather have turner than cole aldrich...but people have turner and wall like 1 and 1a and i just dont see that

There definitely is a difference between the college and pros, but I think Turner's game translates well into the NBA.  The comparisons to Brandon Roy are fair imo.  If that is the kind of player he ends up being....that is pretty damn good.

The losers this time were the Minnesota Timberwolves, who fell from second to fourth. Sacramento (No. 5) and Golden State (No. 6) also tumbled -- the second straight year the Kings went the wrong way in the lottery.

The Kings went from first to fourth last year, but did end up with Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans -- who represented them Tuesday. So maybe the Nets shouldn't lose hope.

The NBA draft is June 24 in New York.

Philadelphia brought its own lucky charm, a used hockey stick from the Philadelphia Flyers' rally from 3-0 down to stun the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Still looking for a coach after firing former Wizards coach Eddie Jordan, they stand to grab either Turner or Wall.

"We had a rough year," team president Ed Stefanski said. "We feel that our talent was better than our record but we have to prove it now."

also not to rain on the flyers parade or anything, but the sixers getting the 2 pick was bigger news than the win over the frogs. just throwing that out there....

less than 24 hours after the draft lottery they are already pushing season ticket sales. ha.

if you are on the wachovia center events email list you should have it..

With just a 6.03 percent chance of landing the No. 2 overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers defied the odds and will select second in the 2010 NBA Draft!

Philadelphia 76ers season tickets for the 2010-11
season are on sale now with lower-level tickets starting at just $23 per game!

Sorry jewy.....no one really cares about the 6ers right now in Philly. When the Flyers season is done maybe.


but I also know you're just saying that because you know it's wrong and you enjoy being a pain in the ass, so...just throwing that out there.

you couldnt resist the low dangling fruit could you.  

I'm no match for the snake and his apple.


I was just half-humoring him though...I knew why he said it.


IGY-Big difference between hating basketball and hating watching basketball/NBA.

[ice grillin you]

last time i checked the sixers were in the nba...oh and no one cares about them....so please leave thread and dont come back

[Munson]

Igyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy relax broseph.


Yup, as of right now, no one cares about the 76ers. They suck, and every time they suck, the city more or less forgets about them. They have the ultimate fair-weather following in this city.


It's exciting they got the 2nd pick. But right now the city's team is in the middle of its season, and the other team at the Wach is 2 wins away from being in the finals. The 76ers aren't even a tremor at the moment.
