Goodbye Elton: 2012 Sixers Offseason Thread

[thelonious21]

Im not even stressing about this year that much either...I just love it because hes gonna attract people to come here, as long as he stays, which it sounds like theres a good chance

Were gonna have our own Superteam here in the next 3-4 years

Doug Collins is your biggest asset to keeping Bynum to me..

 

[jdashmaj]

I'll remain optimistic... I just think we made TOO many changes on an already developing team.
One or two additions would've been fine by me, now half the roster is different. Starting to look like the Knicks , a bunch of talent bunched together with no direction...

Doug has a heavy load to deal with this season

I hope that rumor of Hawes playing the 4 is false... He couldnt even stay with KG's old ass, how he supposed to deal with the Kevin Love's and Blake Griffin's out there?

with Bynum, Lavoy, Moultrie, Kwame, and Thad, we now got overload with 4's and 5's... Hawes can get his ass traded, rather would have kept Battie for the low low.

Last season and before this trade we were overloaded with tweeners. I like that we're a bigger team now last yr we kept getting out rebounded. Not only that in today's game bigs are so injury prone so having backups is always a plus. We're actually pretty deep in every position now except the point Turner/Jrue will be backing each other maybe Malik can come in and contribute too

Ibaka
Al Jefferson
Odom
Josh Smith
Paul Milsap

all free agents next offseason

or you can see if Hawes, Moultie, Allen, T. Young, and a future 1st could land you


Lamarcus Aldridge
Kevin Love
Al Horford
Demarcus Cousins
Chris Bosh
Bismack



Ryan Anderson, and Channing Frye would be good fits next to Bynum, but you could get them for ALOT less




as far as upgrading your swingman

Tyreke
Rudy
Harden

may be better fits than Turner IMO.



Only PGs/Hybrids I would deal for Jrue, are

Rondo
Irving
Wall
Lawson
Westbrook
Monta




Best bet is to throw money at Harden and Ibaka next summer. You'll get one of em

Who do you see as the leader of the new look sixers?

I say jrue, he's always calm, cool and collected. Nice calming prescense in the lockerroom and huddles

Turner and Bynum are probably not quite mentally stable enough to be leaders

 

[jdashmaj]

I think Thad and Jrue will prob be the leaders more so Thad because I Jrue's still too young too

 

[Bean]

when do the single game tickets go on sale? i don't want season tickets and i don't want 10 game plans.

I'd say jrue too but i dont wanna leave out Bynum.
He contributed to title teams and is clearly the best player on the team so you know he's gonna be heard.
I'm hoping he does what Z-Bo did and pulls it together since he changed teams.

Im just happy we could now matchup with teams sizewise.
Jrue-Nyoung-Turner-Hawes-Bynum could be the starters.
Turner-Jrich-Thad-Hawes-Bynum could be our "Big" lineup
Jrue-Nyoung-Turner-Thad-Bynum could be our "Small" running lineup

And those are just off the head lineups.

the players phoenix signed this off season would have been perfect next to bynum evan and jrue - scola and beasley

[Nintendough]

Jrue needs to be the leader.

 

[kash10003]

im still afraid that this team wont be able to get the self made scoring it really needs, esp with no lou and meeks off the bench

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Congrats 6er fans. Yall are officially a problem in the east. Who is yall starting power forward tho? Will it be Moultrie?

Likely spencer hawes

With Thad Young and lavoy Allen having outside shots at the spot

Time for turner to become a man

Hawes too slow to play 4.
