    I think the Sixers should consider moving Lou Williams if they think they can get a true point guard or shooting guard in return. Lou will never be either of those. He has reached his max and I think he hurts the team when he is in there running the show. He doesn't play defense and he tries to be to much like A.I without the heart of A.I.

    I don't understand why people think Iggy can't play the two. Defensively, he matches up. He gets enough assists to be a two. And he'll score more easily being guarded by a two than a three. Iggy, Thad, Brand is a very nice 2, 3, 4 combo. Hopefully Miller will come back and make it a very solid 1, 2, 3, 4 worthy of competing for a top spot in the East. If that's the case, it doesn't matter much who they draft, 'cause he's not gonna play much for a couple of years. Between Lawson and Maynor, I'll take... Teague, since he is the better athlete and shooter. If Jennings is somehow available, he's a no brainer.

    This is a weak draft. Whoever they get won't contribute much to the team, that is if they can even make the team and crack the starting lineup.

    Philly could have offered a package to Washington for the #5 pick. Management has to START being imaginative! I would love to see Thabett donning our (new/old) jersey. I would like to see us acquire a second round pick so we can draft AJ Price.

    Interesting chat. I don't buy the injury prone thing re: lawson. If anything, he proved that he can play through some bumps and bruises. Plus, i'm not sure i agree that maynor is a better half court pg. Lawson's assist/TO ratio is much better. Having said that, you can talk to me about his height...that could be a concern, but all things considered Lawson can take care of the ball, defend, and shoot 3. This would allow igoudala to play more SG (if thad/kapono are SF and the PG shoots 3, its ok if igoudala aint lights out from beyond, plus he could make up a little for lawson's lack of hieght) I'll take maynor if that's whats available, he's definitely a nice player, but i'm just saying...

    How would having the Ellington or Christmas plus Kapono combo threat compare to Hedo/Rashard threat that nearly won the Magic a championship?

    i love wayne ellingtons game.....and of all the players that will be available at number 17 i think he would be the best pro. Would the sixers consider drafting him?
