76ers agree to terms with Carney

POSTED: Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 7:40 PM

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.

    I don't understand why there wasn't anything about Villanova in the blog when the topic was basketball.

    You guys are crazy! Am I the only one who remembers when the Sixers were losing to the Bulls like 2 seasons ago by 20 something points and then Rodney Carney came off the bench and annihilated them. We won that game too. I always felt they shouldn't had traded him. He has a lot of potential. Oh and let's not forget he dunked on Mr. Dwayne Wade lol go youtube it.

    Not a bad addition for the price. Carney's athletic, showed the past year and a half that he can shoot the 3-ball reliably. And has the tools to be a decent defender. Calling him a bust of a first round pick is overstating it bit. Sure, the Sixers drafted him about 20-25 slots too high. He should have been an early to mid 2nd round pick. But yet he's made himself a serviceable NBA player for 15 minutes a night, and now they've got him for the price of a cheap 2nd round pick.

    Kate, How is this guy going to get any minutes don't we have 3 or 4 of this type of player already? We have turned into the Atlanta Hawks of the last 10 yrs. all of the players were the same size and none of them are particularly good.

    This may be good. He is another "No D" defense. We can't guard anybody but the point. Lets get rid of Drue and we are in. Ping, ping, ping!
