Sixers trade junk for potential

Eric Schwartz — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 23:38:58 +0000

Hey remember these guys?

The Sixers mad a splash today, (OK it was more of a sprinkle than a splash) shaking up the roster and finally sending away Willie Green.

The Sixers acquired rookie forward Craig Brackins from the New Orleans Hornets for Green and Jason Smith. The Sixers also got forward Darius Songaila in Thursday’s trade.

I have no idea what the Sixers are getting Brackins, but I love this trade regardless because at the very least the Sixers… Finish Reading

Could the Sixers land Carmelo Anthony?

How would Carmelo Anthony look in a Sixers uniform?

The Sixers acquiring Anthony sounds like a pipe dream to me and I’m sure Philadelphia fans feel the same way but at least one blogger is reporting that it could be a possibility.

Cbssports.com blogger Ken Berger wrote an article titled Nets, Sixers add intrigue to Melo Saga, which can be read here.

In the article Berger mentions the Sixers as being part of a three-team trade that would… Finish Reading

NBA Free Agency-How times have changed

Marc Fanelle — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:48:51 +0000

Much like the arms race of the “Cold War” of the 1980’s the NBA has become a battle of stock piling free agents and stars like I have never seen before. Not only does Miami have the new big three being Lebron, D Wade, and Chris Bosh, but now at Carmello Anthony’s wedding Chris Paul is making a toast that Melo, CP3 & Amare will be the next big three. So now the Nba has lets not be good… Finish Reading

Rev Jesse Jackson – - Go Away, Please

BigGreek24 — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:25:06 +0000

Yet again, Jesse Jackson is putting his nose where it isn’t wanted. In an article on ESPN.com, the Rev Jesse Jackson criticized the Cleveland Cavaliers owner for the statments he made in a letter to Cavs fans after LeBron James announced that he was leaving Cleveland for the Miami Heat on Thursday evening.

In a statement released by Jackson, he said the Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has a “slave owner” mentality and that his letter was an attack on all… Finish Reading

“King” James Fiasco – Simply Classless

BigGreek24 — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:10:06 +0000

When I found out that ESPN was planning to air LeFraud James decision on where he was going to play Thursday night the thought of “Are You Kidding Me?” went through my head. The next thought that entered was “Who Cares?”.

While its true that as a free agent the self-crowned King can choose wherever he wants to play. Its not just the rule in the NBA, but for the most part its the rule in all four of the… Finish Reading

South Beach lands a king/ NBA’s evil Empire????

Marc Fanelle — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:24:22 +0000

Well Boston has the “BIG THREE”, and now Miami has the bigger three. I know people are already anointing the Heat to win a title, but not so fast. Is there enough balls to go around? Will the tres amigos be able to gel together? And finally will the Heat have more then five players on their team? Only time will tell. I still think it’s a tough road to get to the finals. Although Mario Chalmers (Only the third Alaskan born… Finish Reading

Guess Who’s Bizack

Marc Fanelle — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 04:02:46 +0000

The Phillies….After seeing some much needed pep Thursdays night vs the Yankees. The Phillies D ignited their O. A couple of great plays from Jason Werth and Placido Polanco have many around town believing that it sparked the Phils offense. After several weeks of seeming that the players were just going through the motions on both sides of the diamond, it was good to see some life. That buzz carried over into tonight where the Phillies trounced the visit… Finish Reading

Sixers deal Samuel Dalembert

Eric Schwartz — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 20:06:55 +0000

A move that Sixers fans have been begging for over the last three seasons finally appears to be on the horizon.

Inept big man Samuel Dalembert and his once a week productions ison his way to Sacramento as the first domino in the Sixers roster falls.

ESPN.com is reporting that Dalembert will be sent to the Kings in exchange for Andres Nocioni and Spencer Hawes. Neither Nocioni (a good shooter, but at times soft) or Hawes (a developing… Finish Reading

Sixers go retread with Doug Collins

Eric Schwartz — Fri, 21 May 2010 01:29:30 +0000

The Sixers did what the Sixers do on Thursday. They hired a coach that will do nothing to get their fan base excited. Rather than take a shot at an up and coming coach, they went the old retread approach, snatching Doug Collins out of the TNT broadcast booth.

The rest of the East is shaking in their boots now.

Bellow is an excerpt of the Associated Press report:

Team president Ed Stefanski interviewed Collins on May 1, and he… Finish Reading

Lottery should land Sixers Evan Turner

Eric Schwartz — Wed, 19 May 2010 02:32:07 +0000

Who can the Sixers draft next month?

Anyone not named John Wall.

The Sixers defied the odds, earning the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft. They entered the draft with just a 5.3 percent chance of earning the top pick. That pick went to the Washington Wizards, who will now be able to draft a point guard that doesn’t bring guns to the work-place — even if he does like them. The poor New Jersey Nets will draft third,… Finish Reading
