If you could make one single Sixers acquisition this offseason FOR FREE, would you rather it be Joe Dumars as GM, Greg Popovich as GM/Coach or any single NBA Player except Lebron, D. Howard, Chris Paul, D. Williams, Tim Duncan, Kobe, and Garnett? If it's a player that you would rather have instead of Joe Dumars or Greg Popovich, place his name in this thread.

Chris Bosh Al Jefferson or Elton Brand would be here in a flash.

Wade, Durant, Billups, Stoudemire, Yao, David West, Bosh, Roy, Al Jefferson, Nash

Durant and Jefferson did contribute to awful franchises last season. What makes you think that Ed Stefanski is capable of building a championship team with them or that Mo Cheeks could coach them to a title? Ed accomplished nothing in NJ as the GM which he was promoted to in 2004.

Greg Oden or Al Horford.

Bosh

But would be happy with any of:

Boozer
Brand
West
Stoudemire
Wade

Come on, West over Dumars and Greg Pop? No Bueno.

Amare Stoudemire, Dwyane Wade, and Yao Ming top my list.

Miller
Iguodala
Young
Stoudemire
Dalembert

This lineup is almost perfect. Stoudemire is the perfect PF for our young team.

Miller
Wade
Iguodala/Young
PF
Dalembert

Wade has star power, plays hard, and is the BPA(if healthy).

Miller
Iguodala
Young
PF(trade Dalembert)
Yao

Yao would definitely help Philly with an increase in revenue, and is perhaps the best true Center in the league.

I don't see how either of the two would help our team more then some near superstars. Coaching and management can only take you so far, the players are what you need to begin with.

Excellent players enter the league every year and hit the free agent market every year. A great GM will be able to put a contender together QUICKLY. The rest of the players in the league that I excluded are worthless without a quality GM. Lebron should have won a championship already but the Cavs GM is terrible. Dumars won a championship by putting all the players in place who were castoffs and such. I understand how people would want the layer over a GM that doesn't get out on the floor but you have to remember that a player is just a piece a GM makes decisions on the addition and subtraction of pieces. A player could tear an ACL and never be the same. I'm choosing Pop or Dumars over every single player in the league that I excluded.

Besides the players I listed, I would rather have Popovich as my coach. I'm not so sure about his gm decisions though(if any)?

Popovich has won four championships since 1999, while Dumars has only won one championship.

That says enough.

Dumars has done an excellent job with Detroit though. They're the second best team in the East, and may have a very bright future with(Johnson, Stuckey, and Maxiell).

1.Amare Stoudemire.

Him and Dalembert would be a force together on D.He would give us that low post player on Offense we lack so badly and would fit in with our fastbreak/transition game as well.

2.Elton Brand

This is a very stupid thread.

You're given a choice between a guy who MIGHT be able to MAYBE put together a championship team if he's given the right offers and circumstances, a guy who is the coach for one the most talented and experienced teams in the league, or any player in the league (other than the players mentioned).

Give me Pop. One of the best coaches in the league every year, knows his X's and O's as well as Larry Brown, makes decent front office decisions with the salary cap, and can maintain a contending roster for several years.
