Sixer Fixer- Thanks for putting together that list.

I've long-thought that Amare or Milsaps might be our guy.

I'm fine with giving up Iguodala in a deal if we get a legitimate starter who can score in return but otherwise Young should be our guy to deal.

I'm thinking we might be able to get Milsaps straight-up for a deal for Young as the Jazz could move Favors into a starting role and Young at the 3.

Any deal for Amare would be much more complex since his deal is big, but if the Knicks want to build around Melo and we can figure out a way to get him in (maybe involving the amnesty of Brand) then his scoring ability might be exactly what we need with the rest of this squad.

F*** NO to Amare. His deal is atrocious and his knees and back have about a 2 year shelf life to them.

Yeah, Amare might have one of the 4 worst contracts in the NBA. He's done and I can't stand him anyway.

According to Sixers fans, every player who has ever missed more than 20 games in a season and/or is over the age of 28 is DONE!

Or maybe guys with $64 million due over the next 3 years that can't even get his knees insured should not be looked at as trading options. :roll:

Not everyone. Amare is though. I honestly never thought he was that great in the first place. One of the worst defensive players in the NBA. He makes Elton Brand look like Dennis Rodman.

Where did I say we should trade for him?

When was the last time the knee was an issue for him? The guy is 1 year removed from averaging 25.3 PPG. His drop-off points wise began when the chucker Melo showed up. Again, I'm not saying I would want to acquire him, the point I was making was people referring to him as "done" is absurd. He would easily be the #1 option on our team.

The guy dealt with a lot of stuff this year like the death of his brother and coach change mid season....give the guy a break if his production suffered a little.

Hopefully sixer fan makes a apperance the closer we get to the draft

Let me take the heat off of Sixer Fixer, I said he was a viable option. I would take Amare ONLY in a situation where the Sixers amnesty-claused Brand. You add him to the mix with the rest of the core and aren't giving up a whole lot, you get scoring and this team takes a leap forward. I think you can get him on the cheap, NY wants role players to put next to Melo.

The other thing to think about with a potential Gasol deal, would be how much can Doug Collins get out of him? Can he rev him up into playing D and getting physical? Who knows

I think the problem people have with Amare is the health risks and the very large contract (in dollars and years). I don't think it's really so much an issue regarding what we have to trade away to get him. People just feel he's a franchise killer if his production falls off since we would be stuck with that contract.

This is the last apperance by SF76

nothing to see here. They dont have interest in his contract or his knees. i dont think they do anything at all til offseason. maybe something small for the speights exception...small if anything.

the plan is to wait until the off season and use cap space to try and get a star big man(nocioni and hawes walk and brand amnestied). they will not amnesty brand unless they have a done deal to bring someone else in.

^This, with cheese.

Let somebody else bail the Knicks outta that massive, uninsurable contract (for a guy who plays halfcourt), and use El Ton's amnesty to bring in an athletic big.

Endorphins. Seratonin.

They also said they need to get bigger on the wing for backups. Basically a shot at Lou and Jodie since they were at a huge disadvantage with real SG/SF's.

Does Al Jefferson fit the athletic big criteria? Definitely not!
Does Roy Hibbert fit that athletic big criteria? Definitely not!
Does Spencer fit...ah, hell...why am I asking that? LOL
Does Kris Humphries fit that description? Nope.
Does Brook Lopez fit it? Nope.
Does Chris Kaman fit? Nope.

So who does (that is even a remote possibility)?

Javale McGee - but he's restricted so we don't control that.
Dwight Howard - 0.001% chance
Josh Smith does - maybe deal involving Andre or something with ET+?
Anderson Varejao - he might fit and might be a trade possibility
Dalembert - would we bring him back? Doubtful
DeAndre Jordan - any chance the Clippers make him available?
Paul Gasol - not really athletic, but he's very mobile which I think is more what they mean.
Derrick Williams - do they think he could play the 4 full time?
Amare Stoudamire - definitely still athletic by PF standards and could be the #1 scorer.
Biyombo - could we pry him away from Charlotte?
Amir Johnson - smaller type deal for him? Maybe for Lou in S/T?
Favors - .0001% chance
Paul Millsap - not exactly athletic, but very mobile...can play some SF in big lineups
Andray Blatche - they wouldn't go after him, would they?
Bynum - not possible, right?
Nene - doubt Wash would move him considering how well they played after he got there.

Beyond those guys, I'm having a hard time finding realistic possibilities. There's guys like Leonard/Moultrie/Drummond/Henson in the draft, but I doubt they would see any of those guys making a big impact next year.

Your logic is spot on the guy I think they want is josh smith he's in his last year and the organization dosen't want to give him an extension. I would put Thad in that trade and then draft John Henson he can do everything Thad can do but he brings more a legit jump hook and shot blocker also can really run the floor and he's 6'10

God, if we get Josh Smith, we will never score 90+ in a game... But then we would also be one of the best defensive teams in the NBA too.

Kobblehead · Post #36 » by **Kobblehead** » Mon May 28, 2012 4:29 pm

Josh Smith is a very good player and all. But 7 years into his career and there is yet to be a coach that has approved of his in-game decision making and playing style.

SixerFever215 · Post #37 » by **SixerFever215** » Mon May 28, 2012 4:44 pm

Compared to what we have he's an upgrade somebody who can block shots and rebound. He falls in love with his jumper way to much he needs to attack the rim. With that being said he would fit on this team nicely

PhilasFinest · Post #38 » by **PhilasFinest** » Mon May 28, 2012 5:21 pm

Josh smith might not be a great scorer but he brings a few things to the tnle
We sorely lack:
Athleticism at the 4
Rebounding
Elite Shot blocking ability

I'd take him in a heartbeat.

LongLiveHinkie · Post #39 » by **LongLiveHinkie** » Mon May 28, 2012 6:17 pm

Not a Josh Smith fan. I never looked at him as a true 4. I think the Sixers need to start building as more of a half court team. You can't win running all the time.

I think they need more scoring as well.

JordanMars · Post #40 » by **JordanMars** » Mon May 28, 2012 6:25 pm

Id try to get Josh Smith via trade, and Omer Asik via free agency
