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.— PhillyPhan35- wow i think NO ONE cares about the sixers. how sad. but love your work, Kate. keep it up!— canada51stSTATE
- Does it even matter anymore?— Dean1
- We're rounding out the bench. What do you guys want? Good, low-cost pickup.— PGH76er
- What we want is a great big man! Unless you have MJ, without a great big man it is tough to win it all.— psuwelsh
- 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.— maximus
- Sixers? Yawn.— UncleEddie

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.— srvdove- 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.

The sixers are still in the NBA?- 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.— Shenkman3
- Is the NBA still in business?— Phront_Runner
Welcome back, Rodney - now please pull down your socks for your second stint on our beloved SIXERS!— Leegles- Yeah, it's a bench pick-up, but we need an athletic wing guy off the bench, and Carney can be that for us.— FKD215
