76ers agree to terms with Carney

The 76ers have agreed to terms with forward Rodney Carney, this according to a source familiar with the situation.

Carney, 6-foot-7, has agreed to a 1-year deal. Previously, Carney spent two seasons with the Sixers: 2006-07, 2007-08. In July of 2008, Carney was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he played last season.

In his 3-year career, Carney has averaged 6.5 points and 2.0 rebounds a game.

YES! Can you say NBA Contender? Carney will make the Sixers a force to be reckoned with this upcoming season. I can't believe they got him this late in free agency, what a big move, this must be on ESPN somewhere......gosh I feel bad that Ed Snider puts any investment into this team and the people making player personnel decisions. Go Phillies.

We're rounding out the bench. What do you guys want? Good, low-cost pickup.

What we want is a great big man! Unless you have MJ, without a great big man it is tough to win it all.

I always liked Carney. He is a tweener though and we need a power forward, although I like the addition of Jason Smith returning after injury.

I'm sorry, I love watching Carney, he is one of the most athletic players in the league and he plays with a ton of energy. Never a bad thing to have a guy like that on the bench.

What a joke! Just when I thought they couldn't do anything to tick me off more they resign this bust of a first round pick. Carney stinks! And so do the Sixers.

Yeah, it's a bench pick-up, but we need an athletic wing guy off the bench, and Carney can be that for us.
