We really need to snatch a C man. That no trade for vucevic 3 years ago is making us stupid right now.

Bosh, sup bro the first 7 games u was beastin :( And f that hamstring, always gets Wade it seems....

I was **** mad seeing Korver get those 3's and the defense generally no doubt. Shawne Williams boy, he can snipe it from 3 after that stinker vs. Washington


I guess take some satisfaction that Miller followed him and he looks even worse.

Don't remind me. What a debacle that was. A franchise altering mistake.

Allow me to go overboard and bitch about it anyway - If we've got Vucevic on the roster I highly doubt Lebron leaves. Even if he does, a Bosh/Vucevic front court would have ruled the east for years to come. We would've solved our biggest weakness, the most expensive one to fix, could've drafted only guards for years.

To this day I can't believe Riley passed on a true 7 footer for questionable guards. I just don't get it. It goes against everything he did in the last 20 years.

It was ultimately a four-team trade centering on Dwight, Bynum, and Iguodala that got pulled off with all other players as throw-in pieces.

One would suppose Riley, as he's known to do, tried to maneuver and become part of this mega-trade to grab Vucevic, but simply couldn't make it all come together.

Probably due to Chalmers and Cole holding little to no value...

Sixers Trade Iguodala For Andrew Bynum In Four-Team Dwight Howard Blockbuster

Spike Eskin | CBS Sports
August 10, 2012

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – In the same trade, the Sixers have finally traded Andre Iguodala, and the Magic have finally traded Dwight Howard.

The Sixers, Nuggets, Lakers and Magic have finalized a trade that sends Dwight Howard to the Lakers, Andre Iguodala to the Nuggets, and Andrew Bynum to the Sixers.

I know, I know, I can’t believe it either.

Here’s a list of everyone involved:

The Sixers get Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson.

The Lakers get Dwight Howard, Earl Clark and Chris Duhon.

The Nuggets get Andre Iguodala.

The Magic get Moe Harkless, Nikola Vucevic, Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Christian Eyenga, Josh McRoberts and protected first round picks from each team, and a second round pick from Denver...
