76ers invite Christmas to camp
options
 

The 76ers have invited former Temple star Dionte Christmas to training camp, which opens at the end of this month at St. Joe's. Christmas, who went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft, played with the Sixers/Nets combo team at the Orlando Summer League in early July.

Sixers General Manager Ed Stefanski said it looked like Christmas would accept the offer to come to the Sixers training camp. Stefanski said the team will officially add a few more guys to the camp roster by the beginning of next week.

    Hope they add some shooters. Season tickets are down because this offseason management did not address the team's needs: a point guard and shooters to help Brand. As fans, it is hard to accept a team that is .500 or worse.

    AWESOME. We let to many quality athletes leave our city. Rasheed,Kobe,Rip and then they go and win championships elsewhere. We need to support Dionte. HE IS ONE OF OUR OWN. Best of luck Dionte. Here in West Chester PA we are really pulling for you. So go out and give it your all. Like you always have.

    I'd accept a team with a .100 winning percentage. Otherwise the team will wallow in mediocrity for years to come.

    Good to hear, Christmas is a class act. I hope he catches on with an NBA team. Oh, 3 times it's posted and still Charlotte is spelled wrong in each one. Nicely done, starbird.
