Draft and Free Agency....

1) why do the Jazz own our second round pick?  Did we include that in the Kyle Korver trade?

2) I really really think we should throw buckets of cash at Josh Smith.  He is a stud that can complement Iggy well.  Well, compliment each other.

Loius Williams

Andre Igoudala

Thaddues Young

Josh Smith

Samuel Dalembert

PRETTY SWEET

3) This one may not be to popular right now, but just like buying stocks buy low and sell High.  Right now Andre Miller s stock is at his highest and I think we should deal him to get as much value as possible while freeing up playing time for Louis Williams (a true scorer).  

One has to admit that the frequency in which Andre Miller was making that mid range jumper this year was way higher than we can expect from him in the future.   This was shown in the last few games of the playoffs when he couldnt buy a bucket.   Great guy great player, but I think the best thing for the team is to cash in on his great year

Thoughts?

I agree with you on Smith but that is about as far as i would go, i would try and trade Igg he is a good player but he doesn't deserve the money he wants, if he accepted what we offered him last year then bring him back but no more, and i wouldn't sign players around him but Smith is the perfect fit for the Sixers. 2nd if they trade Miller they go back to the lottery bottom line. Lou Williams is not a starter in the NBA and he never will be, he is awesome of the bench for about 20-25 minutes and brings instant offense kind of like the microwave Vinnie Johnson did for the Pistons but never ever will be a starter at least not for a playoff team.

The Jazz get our 2nd round pick from a trade in 2005

Salt Lake City, UT – The Utah Jazz announced Tuesday that they have traded their 60th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a future second round pick.

The 2005 NBA Draft will be held on Tuesday, June 28 and the Jazz currently hold the sixth and 27th picks in the first round and the 34th and 51st picks in the second round.

I am torn on what the sixers should do.  I think a front court of Thad, Sam, and Josh would be tremendously athletic but you got basically 2 small forwards.  And what happens with Iggy then? He certainly cant fit in that equation, then we would have 3 small forwards, none of which realy that can shoot

From what I read Miller wont beback after this year, so I agree with whoever wrote that his trade value was at its highest.  None of these players are Ed's players so we might see a lot of turnover this year.  I think he has got his work cut out for him, even with all the money the sixers have finally gotten underneath the cap, theres not a great player out there thats going to be the piece you build your franchise around

They need an inside presence who can play the 4, but can stretch out the defense with his shot.  The Pistons shut the Sixers down by collapsing their D because they didn't respect any of the Sixers big men's perimeter game. 

They could also use a shooter to replace Korver...I like Josh Smith, but I don't think he is the answer to what the Sixers need.  He would be another 3 guard, and the Sixers have used three recent first round picks at that position in Young, Carney, and Igudala.
