langx, you're kidding right? Although I didn't agree with giving iggy all that money he is the type of player you need on a championship team. Stefansky is not the problem...and he's only been here for a year for crying out loud.

langx- Matt Geiger is the ONLY reason the 76ers went to the championship in 01- if he didnt deny the deal Iverson would have been in Detroit. Another rumor is Brand to Dallas. Detroit already turned down the celts deal.

people are saying the sixers gave iggy and brand too much money. but let me ask this. is a 37 year old shaq worth 21 million a year? thats whats he's getting from phoenix. stephon marbury. also 21 million per season, and he's coming off the bench. so,we as fans cant get too caught up in contracts because there are alot of players in the league with worst contracts than brand or iggy by far.

You cant kill Stefanski for the Brand deal, the sixers were exposed in the playoffs because they had no low post game so they went out and got the best available. Everyone now wishes they got smith from Atlanta but the fact is that running teams do not win championships (unless you ave Magic Worthy and Kareem) but rather teams that can grind it out while being able to run. The problem was that they thought AI would be an improved shooter which was dead wrong. And for FLYERSFAN561, the only reason why the NHL sells out in Philadelphia is bacause of its loyal fan base. Ask Pittsburgh (stanley cup champions) San Jose, Anaheim and several other playoff teams to see how they COULDN'T sell out games.
