    Ed S. has not made many good moves. Signing Brand and Andre I. to the deals he did really gave the team no cap space. Then he hires a coach with an offense that does not fit the team's personal.

    langx- you miss the point. Allen Iverson was getting traded before the 01 season to Detroit for Stackhouse, etc. The only reason he didnt get traded was because Geiger was part of the deal and had a trade kicker/no trade cause that casued the deal to fall through and Iverson stay in Philly- at which time he won the MVP and got the 76ers to the finals- therefore......the only reason the sixers got to the final in 01 was because of Geiger refusing to be a part of the Iverson trade that kept him here- simple.

    Anybody that thinks Igoudala is a problem with this team doesn't have a clue. He is the best player by far on this team.

    rvb is exactly right. Signing Brand was the right deal at the time, and we still haven't seen what he's capable of. He's been here 1 year. I think Iggy is a bit overpaid, but not terribly, and again, having a 19/6/5 guy on your team is always a good thing. Stefanski has his work cut out for him, but can we at least wait til the off-season is over before we criticize his off-season moves?

    how is iggy overated when hes up there with the likes of kobe and lebron with the few players who avg what is it something like 20,5,5.... like come on you have to be kidding me. Its funny when people get on iggy, like who else other then dre miller put the sixers on their backs throughout the season to allow us to even get close to where we got this year... get off his case and learn something about ball.

    langx, I totally agree with you. I said it before they signed either one of those stiffs. Iggy would be a great number 3 guy. Brand, well he should probably retire soon. He doesn't fit here.

    My way would be to move up and select John Flynn or an established point or shooting guard for Andre Iguodala, and then use the Sixers pick to select Sam Young to replace Andre at small forward.
