Must be nice

Its nice until it goes badly. I was momentarily jealous of all the Bucks movement this past off-season, until you see all the pieces don't really fit that well, and now they are stuck with a slew of bad contracts.

As much as i LOVE fantasy trades and movement, activity for activity sake isn't always helpful.

that said, I would still be thrilled if we made a move that we clearly 'win' the deal in.

I can't believe we pulled Iggy off the trade block. With what has happened with the Knicks and the Nets we need to make some major changes. We are at best a .500 team or slightly above that and a 7th or 8th seed in the East now. Now I know why my interest in this team is not the same anymore they don't care. Bring on the spring training.

I'm glad we did it.

Hopefully we are atleast still listening to offers. Otherwise its just not good business to not see what is available.

I'm anxious to see if Gerald Wallace is traded and what he gets for the bobcats. That will give us some indication of what we could have gotten for Iggy. (Although Wallace has a better contract)

The Sixers are 25-16 in their last 41 games, I believe. That translates into a 50 win season over an 82-games season. Plus, the Sixers schedule is easier the last 25 games than it was the first 57 games.

With the improvement that the Sixers have had, it makes sense that they are only going to trade Iggy if they get back fair value and if that value helps IMPROVE the team.

I don't see any team actually willing to do that, but if they do, then I am sure Rod Thorn would listen.

Two first rounders, expiring contract and bellow average prospect.

Ya and those picks will be 20+ picks. Blazers got a really good deal. I think it would be ideal to move Iggy but not for that garbage. No problems with us sitting this deadline out.

Guess we have just the perfect little team, huh?

SJSF · Post #789 » by **SJSF** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:28 pm

Perkins would had been a nice addition. We could have had him. We had pieces that were just as good. I would had done a Thad Young for Perkins. Jeff Green is pretty much the same player.

Now that the trade deadline has passed and Iguodala was NOT dealt... I think it's time to give this a rest. After the season ends, I'm sure this will come back up and a new thread can be started with all of the rumors... if there are any.

Expect the Knicks to have a lot of minimum salary guys on their team the next few years. They do not defend, they do not scare me.

This team is not built for now, but when all these 22 year olds turn 25 or 26. We are in a rebuilding mode now, and are starting to win, and hopefully will be in the playoffs.

Imagine all these young guys at 25-26 years of age with 3-4 years of playoff experience, while Stoudemire is playing limited minutes on bum knees that were un-insurable. Anthony will be who he is, someone who gives up just as many points many nights as he scores. The knock on him coming out of Denver was he was an unwilling help defender and preferred just to stay with his man and not make switches or run out on open shooters.

Somehow the Clippers pick is always forgotten. Nevertheless would've loved to get him, but I doubt that they would do this kind of trade in division.

Im not so sure Green is better than Thad. He does avg a few more ppg than Thad but he plays about 10 more minutes and shoots a much lower fg percentage tahn Thad

+100 The diff this year is that our team is so young

You can't live on the "Other teams will get older" thought because...lol I mean, look at this past offseason and trade deadline. Other teams make moves. They don't stand pat like the Sixers do. They aren't stupid to just let their teams get old. And also, other teams that are racking up potential superstars through the draft will become better while our team remains essentially the same.

freshie2 · Post #798 » by **freshie2** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:07 pm

What moves did the Sixers not make that they should have made? I agree the experience theory generally doesn't apply, but the Sixers very young core has talent and room for growth (Holiday/Turner/Young/Speights/Meeks/Hawes) and the playoff experience/success may be very beneficial to them. That should help them move into the 'leadership' roles currently occupied by Iguodala and Brand, such that the next influx of new players will be built around them at age 23-24 (just the beginning of most players' peak years). I don't think the Sixers had a landscape changing deal on the table, and they are playing very well with the current roster, so a change for the sake of change really wouldn't have made sense.

Would you agree that this team shouldn't be way above the cap like they are?

underpressure · Post #800 » by **underpressure** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 9:17 pm

They shouldn't, however the prospect of having much cap space and little talent is dim. You won't lure any significant free agent to this team without having any substantial talent. Having Iguodala is not a problem, rather having a 32 year-old Brand who doesn't fit the long term goals of this team and dead meat in Nocioni, Kapono or Songaila.
