Can Biedrins seriously play PF? Havent seen much of him, but thats the kind of guy the 76ers can use. Heck I'd trade him straight up for Sam, but GS wouldnt.
Lee I have no interest in bc he's a 6th man. A good one, but no team with David Lee as their starting PF will be scaring anyone into being a championship contender, unless that team has Lebron or Kobe. Ditto for Randolph, I'll pass on that. Miller is too good.
Happy 22nd BIRTHDAY Jason Smith*** Now trade HIM!

We'll clean up house over this offseason. Zeke will be gone! If not, there's no way I see Zeke being able to deal with the Sixers w/ Larry Brown at the helm.

David Lee is definitely better than anything you currently have at PF. He wouldn't be a starter in this deal. He'd be your supersub PF/C off the bench providing you with 10 pts/10 rebounds a night. He'd definitely be a valuable piece to any playoff run you may have in the future.
If you really want to keep Miller(which I don't really blame you for, he's playing great for you guys), woud u send us a trade exception instead? I dont know if that'd work though.
Lee($1.7M)
Malik($7.6M)
Mardy($1m)
for
Evans($4.6)
Green($3.4M)

Randolph

$10M(TE)

The problem with trading for David Lee is that by the time NY considers giving him will will be when it is time to pay him in free agency. He is a very good, but limited player, but the kind of guy that will hit it overly big in free agency.
I have no doubt that Biedrins can play PF, it's really his natural position. He was almost a Sixer too, IIRC. The plan was that if Toronto took Iggy instead of the stiff they chose, the Sixers next choice was Biedrins. Good thing too, the Cavs picked right after the Sixers and took Luke "I am no longer in the league" Jackson. It seems the team ahd the right two guys, Iggy and Biedrins, pegged for the 9 slot that year. Toronto and Cleveland ended up shooting blanks around them.

Great thread, guys!
I think that Smith has value in a S&T (not so sure about Carney - unless he shows a little more over the next 21+ games), and I like Biedrins.
The Sixers would have the boniest 4/5 combo in the league, though.
And with that, I really like Evans as the first big off the bench, so I think that I get more for Smith by flipping him to nail down an upgrade at PF than to keep him for the 8-or-so minutes he would play as our 4th/5th big.
Given the options that are realistically out there for us, I think that I could be happy with Biedrins as our starting PF next season...with Eddie then free to take BPA with our pick this summer (which, given the possible interpretation of Andre Miller's comments on Jody Mac's show earlier this week, might need to be a PG....)
