Our shooting guard for the next 5 years

[freshie2]

The Sixers switch their wing assignments on every pick...how can you make individual comparisons of performance and saying it's Iguodala's fault they scored? I'll admit that I think his defense is down a bit this season, but he's still a very, very good defender.

Pardon me, MONTA IS BETTER THAN IGGY!!!!!!!!!

If anyone on here were to ever be placed in position to be the Sixers GM I believe that you would not be looking out for the best interest of the Sixers if you didn't approve a trade involving Iggy for Monta straight up. Right now outside of a post player we need someone who can drive the ball at an elite level like Monta. It's clear that the Sixers offense runs better when Willie and Low Will are having good games. Monta is 5 times better than both of them combined. Monta and Andre Miller in the same backcourt would be VERY successful. I just think of all the back door passes that Willie receives, Monta can do the same thing but at a much higher level.

dude holy ****..................I know you haven't been around alot but I'll be the one to fill you in......

SendEm HATES Iggy with a passion. Either Iggy blew him off during a autograph session or Iggy killed his dog. whatever it is he hates Iggy. SendEm once said that we could get anyplayer off the street and that they would give us what Iggy gives us. In the future don't bother arguing with him as he will only put forth more crap and evntually ignore you when you say something he can't refute meaning now he can make the board a **** of " Iggy sux bauhs" posts. so welcome back and unfortunatley get used to the stupidity.

Just one question: Has a "Dear Iggy" letter ever been posted here? Because it might confirm the Ricky is SendEm/SendEm is Ricky theory I've read elsewhere. Nah, it couldn't be, could it?

[76erinSJ]

Different isp's but same mentality. Sendem never shows up in the game threads when iggy has a good game. He can only badmouth him. If you make a valid point he just ignores it or changes the subject until he cant anymore then he'll have to eventually block you. Ai was a finisher. I do believe Sendem himself made this statement when he was talking about players who "play above the rim". Just because Ai doesnt dunk doesnt mean he isnt a finisher. But, sadly since your a hypocrite and have me ignored you will never get to read my post. I kinda feel like a tree in the forrest and no ones around to hear it fall lol.

We'll all get to see Monta tonight. I haven't seen every GS game (maybe 5 this season) and while he's impressive, he hasn't blown me away the way he has you. In Nellie's system, he's probably a perfect fit. Not sure he's the perfect fit here...you've seen him more and I believe claim he'd end up being a 22 PPG player in Philly...right?

Internet weirdos and fantasy basketball players are REALLY side tracking themselves by focusing on any "theoretical" mismatches that will present themselves placing Monta in a bad position. These same people overlook the mismatches that Monta provides on a nightly basis by being too quick off of the dribble for every SG and SF in the entire NBA. He averages 19 points while shooting .532% from the field and not being the focal point of an offense. If Monta came here he would be the focal point therefor being able to chuck up shots with a greenlight. He certainly has proven that he has some of the greatest finishing ability in the entire NBA, without a shadow of a doubt he is top 10 at finishing plays for a basket for perimeter players. Monta would be able to average 22+ points on a team like the Sixers. I see no reason why he wouldn't be able to average 25+ points. He would be top 5 in the league in free throw attempts.

Now I know that this messageboard and internet are filled with weirdos who will swarm to this thread of Monta has a subpar game. Don't even swarm to this thread to "jump on the Monta bandwagon" if he score 50 points. Make your judgement upon his game and value based on his entire body of work to date. From what I've seen Monta is a superior player to Iggy.'

I have NEVER said a player was better than Iggy that clearly wasn't, although I have said that I'd take a Jamario Moon over Iggy especially considering that Iggy turned down a $11.5 per year contract while Jamario signed a small contract off of the street. The value for Iggy just wouldn't be there. $11.5 for Iggy or $800,000 for Jamario Moon? The decision should be easy for any GM, sign Jamario and spend that saved money elsewhere.

[Sixerscan]

Jamario Moon isn't going to make $800,000 as a free agent.

PS- Someone who posts on an internet message board 12 times a day relinquishes his right to call someone an "internet weirdo" so please stop saying that when people disagree with you.

[SendEm]

WTF? Iggy and Moon both were in contract negotiations at the same time last summer/fall. Moon signed a deal for 2 seasons where he earns $427,000 and Iggy turned down a deal where he averages $11.5 million over 5 seasons. Like I said earlier, the value for Iggy just isn't there. Give me Moon and I'd spend the SAVED MONEY elsewhere on a player that has a more defined perimeter skill set or frontcourt skill set than Iggy.

Yeah, he also played for the Gary Steelheads last year. Things have changed. When he's a free agent next he's not going to make 800K. Just a silly thing to say.

My paltry total pales in comparison to your 11 trillion posts. My "internet weirdo" tag is for the people who overlook basketball skill in favor of:
1. Potential designated by a player's draft position. These weirdos never seem to understand when to write a player off as being a bust or marginal player even if they were drafted #2 overall. These weirdos ALWAYS want to bring these players "in for a look" after other teams have thrown them away.
2. People who place emphasis on a player's stats over actual in game impact. These are the "fantasy basketball players of the world"
3. The height, speed, dunking ability, highlight reel ability people who overate a players entertainment value and measurables.

Trust me, I get what you mean when you say that, I'm just telling you to stop because making fun of someone for posting on the internet when you are also posting on the internet makes no sense. You are no better or worse than anyone else here.

BTW, I know people that don't post on NBA message boards that fulfill your requirements, so I don't see what the internet has to do with it.

[freshie2]

1) Who is the #2 pick someone is suggesting the Sixers bring in for a look?

2) You bounce from FG% and PPG to now solely looking at in game impact...how can you raise this point? You are right that stats should never be viewed without game observation.

3) Why would you ever bring Jamario Moon into any discussion if you feel this way?

WTF man? Who the hell but you is concerned with when Moon becomes a "free agent next?" In your overzealous attempt to prove me wrong with your initial short post you missed the point of my post. Moon is making $711,517 next season which I rounded up the the $800,000, Iggy turned down a contract averaging $11.5 million dollars that would have kicked in next season. Moon is the far greater value especially when taken into consideration that the saved money can net the Sixers another player.

@ your overzealousness...

1) Darko Milicic had a HUGE fanbase around here...

2)Where did I say that I "solely" do either?

3)What?

But they can't get Moon, he's signed for 800K with the Raptors next year, get it? The Raptors aren't just going to give him to us. It's not a realistic option.

Are you trying to say the Sixers should have signed Moon this summer? If so that's ridiculous. Moon was a nobody 5 months ago. Give the Raptors credit for finding a needle in a haystack.

3)What?

1) Darko did get a lot of talk this off season...I think the 7' 22 year old player always gets the benefit of the doubt. Unless he pushes himself out of the league, he'll probably get one more contract.

2) Everyone references stats, so this post seemed a bit high and mighty...unless you are a GM in sheep's clothing, your the same as everyone else here.

3) Moon is pretty limited...Moon for a nickel and Iguodala for a buck, Iguodala is still a more valuable piece...especially considering you can't do anything else with the 95 cents you save. Switch Iguodala with Moon, and Toronto is sitting a lot prettier right now. Put Moon on the Sixers, and we're still talking about drafting Beasley.

[SendEm]

Freshie2 what do you mean "we can't do anything with the 95 cents that we save?" There are free agents hitting the market every year and we ALREADY have a ton of cap room. Having Moon instead of Iggy would allow us to sign 2 major free agents.

[freshie2]

Orlando has tried the cap space rebuild twice...there's no guaruntee. Is Rashard Lewis any better than Iguodala? Darko got a nice FA deal. What FA or pair of FAs are the Sixers guarunteed to get and a lock to produce at a very high level next season? All of the sure things are already locked up, or not a UFA for another season.

Unless you tell me LeBron and Dwight Howard are coming here as FAs, I'll stick with the current roster + whatever FA they can acquire with the cap space they have.

I fully understand what you can do with cap space, but I also have seen enough of this team to add the draft pick, add the FA piece, and see how they progress next season. Iguodala may get packaged in a S/T...that's fine if they get value back. The idea of trading Iguodala for Moon and Roger Mason type players is pretty silly.

[SendEm]

Orlando? Haven't they gone through several GM's over that same time period? Not a good example at all.
Utah would be a better example, they had the cap room to sign Boozer and Okur. NEXT!

[freshie2]

OK...in this class, who is Boozer and who is Okur?
