Goodbye Elton: 2012 Sixers Offseason Thread

[Nintendough]

We need to let Lavoy Allen start at PF. Its cool that Hawes can score outside of the paint as a big man but who is he going to out muscle in the paint?

 

[AAKing23]

Hawes too slow to play 4.

Yup.

Let's take a look at our possible PF's:

Thad- A slasher with an explosive first step and the ability to take his opponent off the dribble, a terrific pick and roll defender an but is undersized and struggles rebounding and matching up to legit NBA bigs, Lacks ball handling and a consistent jumper


Lavoy- A well tempered player who shows the abilty to hit the mid range shot with consistency, also a great post defender and good rebounder but lacks an offensive game or ability to get his own shot


Moultrie- A multi skilled big man who is a legitimate 7'0 tall who is very athletic and can finish strong at the rim, offensively gifted in the post, has a terrific mid range jump shot and can hit the 3 occasionally, is a great rebounder, but struggles on defense and fails to rotate at times


Now if you ask me who to start, I'm gonna say Moultrie because he has all the skills to be the PF for the future, it's about whether he can put it all together.


The starting 5 i would have is:

PG: Holiday, Wayns, Ivey
SG: Turner, N.Young, J-Rich
SF: Thad, Wright
PF: Moultrie, Allen
C: Bynum, Hawes, Brown


Thad is too small to be an everyday PF in this league so I'd move him back to SF, Put Moultrie in at PF to stretch the floor with his terrific jumpshot and he will thrive from the attention Bynum attracts

So....i was just watching some youtube clips of the new players we got and i saw this for the first time.

From about 2:00 to 3:00 is straight comedy.




Thats my Center yall lol

The Bynum (and Richardson) presser will be at 12:15 at the National Convention Center. It'll also be streaming live at Sixers.com.

He's really here, brehs.

 

[Malta]

So, do Bynum and Hawes start together?


Considering Hawes game early with the Kings I'd actually play them together

 

[john goodman]

Ya hawes will be pf

Killing em with that wet jumper when Bynum gets double teamed

 

[Kliq_Souf]

I met Nick Young today

breh is so cool

 

[phillycavsfan]

Any ideas on a Thread Title for the season thread? All I got is the Drew and Jrue Show.

 

[kash10003]

I met Nick Young today

breh is so cool

he was a good pick up, i think he needs to get more playing time than j rich even if he comes off the bench

our team right now

Center
Bynum
Kwame

PF
Hawes
L Allen
Moultrie

SF
Evan
Thad
D Wright

SG
J Rich
N Young

PG
Jrue
Ivey
Maalik Wayns



we gonna need consistency and health from Jrue to get anywhere. Maybe you can let Evan handle the ball with a C/F/Thad/Young/Evan lineup with the bench but we are a lot weaker there than we've ever really been before

 

[Kliq_Souf]

I think Thad is too far gone from playing SF. He is a permanent PF now.

Jrue
Evan
J Rich
Thad
Bynum

would be an ideal starting group, but i think they will let Hawes start at PF... that is going to be ugly considering Hawes is big and slow and couldnt even keep up with old ass KG

 

[jdashmaj]

I know it's only the preseason but the Sixers offense looks compared to last year Smack is a good addition he may beat out Ivey for those backup pg minutes
