2010 Sixers Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

I was 14 then so I may not remember it exactly but I don't remember him being a freakish athlete.  At least not in comparison with the guys today.  And while athleticism always helps...having a strong basketball IQ and solid fundamentals goes a long way. 

That being said I take John Wall all day everyday because of his athleticism.   

there more to being an athlete tho than speed...i dont consider wall freakishly athletic...hes fast as farg with the ball...but someone like favors is much more athletic...wall has freakish basketball skills

and i agree about intangibles and things like leadership and basketball IQ...but grant hill also had them coming out his pours


for you youngins who dont remember him in college....if you can get by the awful top gun music this video has a lot of good grant hillm shtein...specifically starting at like 145....but especially 215 which is just crazy

dook just did sick shtein period...including an uncountable number of posterizations in college....also youtube his alonzo mourning dunk from the pros

yeah saying grant hill was a better player coming out of college is such hate...were you even born in 1994?

i guess i hate jeru too since hes not as good a prospect coming out as jason kidd

youve been hating on ET since day 1. if the sixers had the 7 youd be all over his jock.

your homertastic nature has blinded you...you really dont even know what hate is anymore...but just for jokes show me where ive hated on et...or is hate to you breaking him down and offering criticism

[MDS]

in your life you have called 1 thing and 1 thing only

rondo

otherwise you either way off or just blindly hating on your team as some kind of defense mechanism.

negative chief

dont you k me

ill steal your wire dvds

[The BIGSTUD]

He compared Evan Turner to Shane farging Battier. That's like comparing Allen Iverson to Rudy Gay. There just is nothing similar about the two. They play different positions and have totally different games.

[ice grillin you]

id tell you to actually read what i wrote but it would be worthless as youre a half wit who cant read and deduce things like context and comparison...you just see two names and think i said they are the same player....

i dont even know why i talk basketball on this board...especially nba

simmons on the sixers pick

sportsguy33:
Quick follow: If I were Philly, I'd try to move that No. 2 pick and move down to Minny's spot (who is pulling out all the stops to get a swing in this draft). They could end up with Favors/Cousins at No. 4 plus dump a salary on Minny plus pick up a couple of extra late No. 1s. Feels like Kahn would overpay to get Turner and Favors or Cousins might be better than him anyway.

i'm actually cool with that.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

What is the % chance the Sixers do NOT take Turner at #2?

[phattymatty]

unless there's a trade, almost none.

none...doug collins was on wip this morning and said they are taking him

that doesnt make much sense unless you were gonna dump iguodala for the #4 pick...iguodala AND turner for favors or cousins?

[phattymatty]

and possibly more picks in the 1st.

but i guess that's true, any trade likely involves him.

[ice grillin you]

non lottery picks in the nba are slightly more valuable than second round hockey picks...and especially in this weak ass draft...turner may not be a great number two pick but with most people saying this is a two player draft that slot is pretty damn valuable and to package it with iguodala is crazy imo...

if minny truly wants a wing iguodala should more than suffice for that #4 pick

[BigEd76]

Looks like NJ is taking Johnson, not Favors.  He has the same agent as Carlos Boozer and they think it could be a 2-for-1 deal...

So now it'll be Favors to MIN, Cousins to SAC, Monroe to GS and Ed Davis to DET.....top 7 set...
