Damn, I told yall should have done that Pau for Iggy straight up trade when you guys had the chance before Nash came to the LAkers. The squad gots some really good and talented players, but that front court is Where do you see your squad ranked in the East? IDK with that front court, I think a 7th or 8th seed is the best seed I can see this squad getting right now with all the big moves other Eastern conference teams have done. Are you down for tanking again to see if you can get a really good big man in next seasons draft? Collins probably won't let that happen, but man I have no clue about this team really.

Replace the timberwolves with the sixers I get to watch this guy 82 times

Collins eyes pairing Hawes, Brown in frontcourt - www.phillyburbs.com: Sixers: doug collins, spencer hawes, kwame brown, philadelphia 76ers,


It also looks like Vucevic will put further and further into bench purgatory for Kwame "Please, please don't pass me the the Ball "Brown.



Doug shouldn't have any say so in personal decisions if this is his idea of building for the future relegating a decent young big with shooting touch and potential for a bonafide bust.

-Collins expects Brown to rebound and perform as "one of the top five defensive centers in the NBA,'' which is what Sixers associate coach Michael Curry called Brown when the two were in Detroit in 2008-09-



I know the guy cant score...but can he really play any D?

 

[Ashyneezz]

As a Mavs fan what should I expect from Elton?

We gotta make the best of this shyt I guess


Right now the lineup is looking but with a couple of changes it could look


First off we gotta start Nick Young or Dorell Wright

We need a shooter in the starting lineup.



I would start this lineup


PG: Holiday, Ivey
SG: Young, Turner
SF: Iggy, Wright, Harkless
PF: Allen, Thad, Moultrie
C: Hawes, Brown, Vucevic


This is a very deep and versatile rotation that can be altered in many ways

It gives you solid starters and at the same time doesn't deplete the bench and you'll have Turner, Thad and Dorell Wright anchoring the second unit


Our 4 best players are Holiday, Turner, Iggy and Thad but you don't wanna start them all at the same time. You gotta save Turner and Thad for the second team. And at the end of games they all can play together.

 

[LittleLordBboy]

Collins has already said he wants to move Hawes to the 4 with Brown at the 5.

And if they haven't already learned that Turner needs the ball in his hands and don't play him consisently at the 1 then we've prob seen what he'll contribute

This season is gonna really show what Doug is made of as a coach.

 

[john goodman]

Pg - turner
Sg - holiday
Sf - iggy
Pf- Allen
C - kwame


^ this would be my starting lineup though I'm sure Doug has something else in mind

he truly can, that's one thing little hands can do is play defense.

 

[john goodman]

Ya kwame can play d



I just can't wait to see how pathetic spencer looks trying to guard the 4. Why the fukk was he signed?
