Guest N4S Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 of Eddie Jordan lasting no longer than 1 season. A lot of people thought I was an idiot when I got so ticked when I thought this was a horrible $ saving signing for Stephanski. Well, look at the team now. They are boring as hell to watch. The player's efforts seem different this year. And the team is having major issues putting asses in the seats. I think my prediction is holding tight so far. I still cant stand this guy and think he is gone. Possibly before season's end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no matter who the coach is, until they get a superstar on this team, or reach the Finals by accident, they will have problems putting asses in the seats.

The Artesticle Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Eddie Jordan is a terrible coach. A lot of people knew the move wouldn't work out, some were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I knew this wasn't a good signing since day 1.

I knew it wouldn't work but I didn't want to believe it. Stefanski apparently wasn't familiar with the professional rule of never hiring your friends.

JWaLL Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Now you guys know what we had to deal with. Overrated and can't coach defense. I'm sure he'll be gone after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cant stand this guy and think he is gone. Possibly before season's end. Maybe the struggles also stem from my prediction of the Sixers struggling without Andre Miller. In fairness to Philly, it's a new system, they have a player new to running a team, Brand is coming off a major injury, and Speights is hurt. Of course the team isn't going to have leadership with Miller, but, the Sixers have been second half teams over the course of the last three years. Maybe they'll run the streak to four years this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 22, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Trade Brand for some decent talent, sign Iverson, toss your coach and find one like D'Antoni (who wants to run), start Speights at the four, and go from there. You'll put butts in seats, boost team morale, add scoring, and win more games than you're on pace to winning right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted November 23, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Brand seems almost as untradeable as Sammy to me.Almost. I'm sure someone would be interested, but I can't say any team is truly intrigued by Dalembert's bad play and ugly contract. Brand has a big paycheck, but he's no Dalembert in terms of being almost completely ineffective in every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though signing Iverson wouldn't be a bad move at all for Philly. Who have they been starting all season? Lou Williams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Lou has been pretty good offensively, despite the fact that his D blows. Don't think Iverson would really be an upgrade over him, but he sure as hell would sell tickets which is why I think the Sixers should bring him in. They are not winning anything this year with or without AI. Edited November 23, 2009 by Phightins09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 23, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well, what I was saying was that you sign Iverson if you trade Brand. Just go small, start Young at the four, then have a backcourt of Iverson and Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted November 24, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Elton starts dominating when given the minutes and you guys want to trade him? I dont understand it.He's not Kobe, Wade or LeBron. When Elton "dominates" with his 20/10, it means nothing when nobody else is involved. Again, he's more like Zach Randolph, and no team will win 30 games with Randolph leading the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Signing AI would bring nothing to this team, but at this point, why not. What's the worst that can happen? Just cut him and move on, I'm sure he wouldn't cost too much at this point. Sign AI, give him the starting spot. PG: IversonSG: IguodalaSF: YoungPF: BrandC: Dalembert bench: Speights (when he returns), Williams, Kapono Hey, this doesn't look like a bad lineup at all. Championship material? No where close, but it'll bring some excitement back into Sixer basketball, at the very least. At the very least it'll help put some butts into the seats. Like him or not, AI sells tickets. I think during the latter part of Iverson's stay in Philly, Sixer fans grew numb of him and stopped attending the games, but I'm sure if Ed brought him back, there would be a lot of initial excitement. I know for a fact that all the AI fanboys would be flocking back. In all, signing AI to a one year deal would be nothing more than a move to fill the seats, and maybe get some attention for once by the sports media, in a city dominated by the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers. But at this point, who cares? it's not like the team is going to do anything anyways, why not generate some buzz for the Sixers and sell some tickets? It's really pathetic how the Sixers, located in such a huge metropolis filled with die hard sports fans could garner so little attention and fan support. It just shows how boring the team really is. I think at this point, you just gotta do whatever possible to bring some excitement back. One more year of AI wouldn't hurt.

His Greatness Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Zach Randolph is a selfish cancer that doesn't play defense, and doesn't even play basketball if he doesn't have the ball. Elton Brand is no Zach Randolph. Neither are true leading men, but Brand is nothing like Z-Bo.

Elton Brand is no Zach Randolph. Neither are true leading men, but Brand is nothing like Z-Bo.He's more of a Randolph than he is a superstar player. Somewhere in another topic, I made sure to say he wasn't exactly like Zach, that he did do things better...but he's still an offensive-minded player that doesn't play much team ball and doesn't play defense, closer to Randolph than he is Duncan.

You should never associate players who are actually good with Zach Randolph. Too many negative connotations. Brand is the antithesis of a player like Randolph. All this about Brand not playing defense or team ball couldn't be further from the truth. He's made a career out of playing smart, efficient basketball on both sides of the ball.

Guest N4S Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am so sick of this guy. This team has no clue what defense is and this offense looks nothing like the Princeton offense. He really needs to go but I dont see it happening this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
