The Sixers are gonna resign A.I.2 he can't go anyhere else because nobody else needs him. Plus He is too much.

Sixers are better, but they need 3 point shooting. If they do, then they will contend.

Honestly with their style of play, you don't really need 3 point shooting as much as everyone makes it seem. They make enough to keep team honest, but the thing that made them so much fun last year was being tough defensively and then gettign out and runnign as soon as the ball hit the rim. they had guys who could take their man off the dribble at nearly every position when Thad was at 4 and Lou was at 2. The problem was taht when teh offense started to stall, they didn't have taht automatic low post scorer like Brand. Now, they have another option on offense, and if they can keep up the intensity on defense, they should be even more fun.

So guys, what will our record be next season?

I'm guessing around 35-47.

Right now I can't say we improved our SG spot for sure. MP vs Maurice Evans is not a no brainer. Matter of fact Evans has outproduced MP through his career. Last year Evans the last 2 months of the year shot over 50% from the field shot over 40% from the 3 and averaged over 11 points in still limited minutes.

We will see about Lee. To say that Lee will no question be better than a 5 year veteran in his rookie year is a little crazy. Especially one that was drafted at the end of the first round. Bogans isn't great but he isn't that bad.

The coming roster is clearly more talented than last year's roster. Whether that makes a better team, I agree with your point.
