Time out.

Why do people make these kinds of comments?

Why would Thad Young be available? Didn't the Sixers just draft him? Aren't they in a rebuilding mode?

Seriously - who lets people get away with comments like this?


Willie Green, Louis Williams and AI have all been solid. Rodney Carney is still a young talent that I doubt they'll give up on, and Gorden Giricek is also pretty solid.

Young doesnt look to be at the top of Cheeks depth charts.

Maybe we have something they want. Who knows. I'm allowed to have a wish list.

Sure, but just think of it from their perspective - what are the odds that, after spending a #12 pick on him, they are going to give up on him after half a season?

the odds are very high. granted.

Honestly, I just really like his game. I'm a big fan of him, and he'll forever be on my wish list.

Perhaps stating that on the internet board 1/3 through his first season is a little ridiculous.

As much as i respect the sixers they dont have a real go to guy they have a bunch of swingmen that put up points they need to blend the talnet they have with other things some long range shooting and a little more inside force..But they are rebuilding and will hopefull get there

The problem with the Sixers in that on paper, they don't have much. Miller and Iggy is a great backcourt, and Dalembert is a great shot-blocker... in fact, they're an utterly perfect complement to a couple high-scoring forwards. Oh. Right.

Evans'll be good for them off the bench and Carney/Young is bound to produce a decent player but that team needs to get some guys who will come in and play a well-rounded game while compiling significant stats. Maybe check who's disgruntled while also watching various teams' FA situations?
