The day we draft an international player who has any upside (sorry, the original uni-brow doesn't count) will only come after we hired a GM who's willing to leave his desk (or bed).

Haha. Anthony Davis mentioned in a interview he sports the unibriow solely to pay tribute to his childhood idol, Edin Bavcic.

I heard the Sixers were concerned about Lamb's drive and motivation if they end up taking him, so they plan to hire Derrick Coleman and Tim Thomas to mentor him.

The more I watch Sullinger, the more afraid I am that he might end up like Sean May.

I'm coming to terms that I won't be satisfied with anyone but Drummond.

I'd be okay if we got Quincy Miller or Royce White too. Not needs for this team, but I love them as prospects.

Amal McCaskill. That was one of my favorites. Right up with Charles Shackleford

My favorite might have to be Steven Hunter, who I seem to remember them signing, then trying to trade forever.

I thought we pulled off a blockbuster trade for him and didn't draft him. Then again, technically we drafted Koponen and Fesenko I think (deals in place to move them when the pick was made probably).

Still need to hire C-Webb to make that complete.

If we were in the top 10, i agree on sullinger.

But at 15 , the risk is well worth it IMO.

The Sixer Fixer · Post #1554 » by **The Sixer Fixer** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 1:50 am

How about a high motor/motivation front court of

C - Andre Drummond
PF - Perry Jones

Those two can battle it out to see who will give least amount of effort each game.

im reading some CRAZY ISH from some of you guys... i mean seriously???

josh smith is worth more and better than iguodala... ACCEPT IT... stop overating your own players... its hilarious cuz im damn sure josh smith went WAY AHEAD of iggy just like a million other guys that fans on here "wouldnt trade him for" but when building a team iggy is left off....

josh smith has more value around the league than iguodala.... FACT... accept it... theres a reason for it

next:

WHY ON EARTH DO YOU WANT TO DRAFT A CENTER WITH A STANDING REACH THE SAME HEIGHT AS EVAN TURNER@!?!?!!?!?!

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT GUY HAS ANY CHANCE AT DOING SOMETHING IN THE NBA???

btw.... zeller had ONE GOOD REBOUNDING SEASON IN 4 YEARS... the 3 years before that he was PITIFUL

dear god... there are players out there that with the right coaching, motivation, and teaching, can be star level talents for years to come..... but nope... cant take a guy with a question mark but we can damn sure take a center with the standing reach the size of a midget

phillysixed · Post #1556 » by **phillysixed** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 1:51 am

Pretty sure I'm going to go apeshyt if they make that trade with Atlanta. Williams is one of those guys that plays when he wants to and is a cancer. Smith I don't mind at all but there has to be other moves we can make that improve this franchise. This just stinks of desperation.

Negrodamus · Post #1557 » by **Negrodamus** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 1:52 am

Krazy, I probably agree with whoever you're talking about with the standing reach, but I have to say that you probably put too much stock into the measurable side of things in the combine.

So now that they are done feeding all the miss information to you, and making the fans angry, they are going to get down to business and work the real plans! :lol:

Is Rod Thorn done getting info too?

To be fair Perry at least knows he has to try harder...

his issue is that he is kinda soft and isn't as great of a shooter as most people say he is.

If I could have just one wish it would be this: Mock Drafts are banned forever. Working on 10.0 … (I just threw-up a little in my mouth

The King of the mock draft says this? What a tool!

He wouldn't even have a job if it weren't for having to put out a new mock draft every 2-3 hours.
