2010 Sixers Offseason Thread

[reese125]

I would hate to have a go-to guy that is 26 years old and can bring 30/8/3 a night to a team that has no identity right now...absolutely despise it.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Agreed.  Let's keep Iggy, his neat defense, and his mad dunking skeelz!  Champyonchip!

[Wilbert]

WojYahooNBA New Orleans has traded Darius Songalia and Craig Brackins to Philly for Willie Green and Jason Smith, league source tells Y!

This looks like a nice move. We get rid of Green who is surplus, and Smith. We pick up Brackins and Songalia.
Dont know much about Songalia, but if hes hardnosed and grabs some boards, I like. Brackins upside is huge. 1st rounder if I'm not mistaken who can score. Could be a great project for Collins.
Thorn may be earning his money, if he was involved with this.

As for the Melo, Favors talk. Sounds like a alot of bullshtein. Cant see melo coming here, and wouldnt be overly excited if he did. I dont like players that dont D. Plus we'd have to sign him to an extension. His deal runs out after this year.
Moving Andre for Favors may sound interesting, but Favors is an unknown quantity. All potential. Could be another Thad. I'll pass.

I heard Broussard on SportsCenter say that Iggy was not involved in the trade talk;

The offer was Evan Turner, Jason Kapono, Thad Young and multiple draft picks.

But Carmelo would not sign an extension here, so its a moot point.

lol what

[SD]

What MDS said, that's a horrible trade


Shouldn't you be VDS now?

[Sgt PSN]

It would be an inappropriate name as one typically needs to have teh secks in order to get teh vd's. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

lol what

yeah I am not sure I believe it. Chris Broussard doesn't strike me as credible

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

ESPN bottom line is rocking the story about the Sixers being willing to deal Iggy in a package for Melo.

OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

[Hawk]

the people commenting on Melo have probably watched about 7g Nuggets games since he's been there.

I've watched plenty of Melo.    Not saying I wouldn't want him, but the dude plays no defense.  Not to mention they would want more than iffy like ET or Brief and melo won't resign anyway.

[MDS]

lol @ defense

what is this, high school?

[Hawk]

lol @ defense

what is this, high school?

Lol @ trading for Carmelo rather than rebuilding

[Wilbert]

So how much of a project is Evan Turner going to turn into?

Collins is going to start the season with him as a backup point. Dougs comments concerning ET at his presser a few days back pretty much scream out, Evan cant play 2 gaurd.
That means Dre having to put in minutes at the 2 again.

Recent quote from Doug.

"That means No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner is primarily the backup point guard, which Sixers coach Doug Collins said is likely to continue for at least the foreseeable future because it allows Turner to play how he did at Ohio State -with the ball in his hands.

"I just want him to do what he does well," Collins said. "He's a facilitator right now."

Nothing we havent already heard, but was hoping ET was farther along the pike in playing at the 2 spot than he is.
At Dougs presser a he also said ET, "Doesnt know what to " in regards to the 2 spot.

Wonderful!
I'm not in the panic mode yet, but if ET cant play the 2, its worse fears realized.

I didn't know panic mode existed for a team as irrelevant as the Sixers. If you get to 'Panic' you might want to step back and reassess.
