Hornacek, Harpring, and now Korver. Too bad Alan Henderson didn't get any time with the Jazz.

...or Charles Barkley

Fes too. Are there any more white guys on Philly we could use? Amundson got 17 seconds last year for us.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot that we aquired him in a draft night trade. If not for Kevin O'Connor being a former 76er himself, I don't think any of these trades would have come to pass.

I wonder if Billy King doesn't end up with a job here. Contrary to popular belief GMs and coaches don't fail at certain places because they are morons, it's because people and philosophies and luck don't line up.

Well, Hapring was FA, and Hornacek was not adquired in KOC times.

I've wondered if we had a connection with Philly... didn't know KOC was tied to that organization.

But, I don't think KOC was here for the Horny trade.

Philly is just a good trade partner. We seem to always get something of value from them. Just as long as we return a favor to Philly once in awhile we should be fine.

Philly seems to have a pretty classy organization from the top, it's no wonder the Jazz trade with them a lot. Here are a few more reasons:

1. KOC built that team that took them to the finals
2. They are an irrelevant team that has good talent that the Jazz can trade with who won't hurt them come playoff time.
3. They seem to value integrity on and off the floor, they don't take on a lot of bad attitude guys (AI an exception) much like the Jazz.

I think Philly might trade Dalembert to us... who knows.
