well too bad. i think we might end up with both

I'm just going to say this and you can hold me to it if we draft both (or either) of them.

Neither of those guys will be much more than bench players in 4 years. I just don't see it.

I've been wrong before, but it's unlikely in my opinion.

ok so ross and henson off the board...best guess on who is next on our board?? (T Jones, Sullinger, Zeller)....I am guessing its T. Jones? This is assuming Waiters and Rivers are gone too

On a side note, I am a big T Jones fan. I follow UK bball. I think he is a poor man's Bosh, has some Odom in him too. Yes his game isn't pretty, but he really has a great mentality and just is a winning player. He's very athletic to run the floor, has some range for a 4, and blocks shots. He also is a good rebounder (7 plus playing next to A. Davis in only 29 mpg.) I know some people here think he is a tweener, but I think I know this guy very well. He is 250 lbs and is big enough to bang down there with fours. I could see him being 16 and 8 for many years ..I also think he is a great fit with our guards (Jrue and Evan).

If the Houston Rockets aren't able to acquire Dwight Howard, sources say they'll attempt to trade for Rudy Gay or Josh Smith.

Put Iguodala's name on that list!

Terrence Jones or Sullinger. OR Lamb if he fell. Front office is split on rankings between Jones and sullinger.

Ehhhh Bosh? He doesn't have the shot or height that Bosh has.

The problem is in something you highlight. You said he's a 4 and he's capable of being a 4. That's very true. But Terrence doesn't see it that way. He wants to be a 3, Calipari has put it in his head that he's a 3 in the NBA. He played face up in HS and loved shooting it.

He can definitely be great, but I wouldn't be excited with someone of his mind set. And someone who takes themselves out of games like he has on several occasions.

Seriously let them do all the work to move up into the top 10. then give it to us for iguodala. Thorn clearly doesnt want to do any of the dirty work so let Houston do it for him.

well it is gonna come down to who Collins likes more. I feel strongly that Ross will be gone and it will come down to T Jones or Sullinger. Doug Collins, i would love to know the thoughts in your head.

mybestfiend · Post #1478 » by **mybestfiend** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:36 am

I wouldn't be upset with either TJones or Sully but if Lamb is there I'd rather have him.

Negrodamus · Post #1479 » by **Negrodamus** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:39 am

If Sullinger is there, I'd be very disappointed if the Sixers took someone else.. Unless Sullinger's health issues are even worse than I think they are.

I'll say it for Krazy..

If we pass on Lamb we are giant dumbasses.

He and Ross fit really well between Jrue and Turner (and Iggy...if we have to use Turner to get him...jus sayin).

There.

btw Sixerfan, really appreciate all your updates..This is a really exciting time. I check my phone at work to see this thread during the day...it's awsome this time before the draft. I live down here near the shore, great weather, Sixers happenings, Eagles camp right around the corner (Andy's last hurrah?) I was walking on the boardwalk last night and overheard tons of chit chat about the Sixers.

sixerfan1976 · Post #1482 » by **sixerfan1976** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:40 am

we offered iguodala, thad and both our 2nds for marvin williams and josh smith

atlanta talking to many teams

JordanMars · Post #1483 » by **JordanMars** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:41 am

lol always the same thing with Sixerfan every offseason, all that talk and no deal ends up happening. Last year it was Thad geting traded on draft day, i appreciate the information but at the end of the day we have a 200 page draft thread with no moves made.

i could go either way on terrence jones and sully...i would prefer someone that is higher on their list tho..and not having to settle. Losers settle.

Not sure if I like that.

There.

+1

I want Lamb over T Jones or Sullinger.

Any chance too we can buy an early 20s pick? PJIII keeps sliding and sliding it looks like. If hes sitting there in the 20s you gotta go take a stab at him somehow.

No way, i dont believe we offered such a deal as this. Dont like it for the sixers. Iggy>>Josh smith and Thad>>>>>>>>>>>>Marvin Williams despite Thads contract. Atlanta would accept this in a missipi second

Wow, what the hell are the Sixers thinking?

I guess Iguodala isn't the hot piece we are thinking he is.
