I'm going to miss Iggy. :(
[QUOTE=ballup]Hawes has not played 4 ever in Philly. Coach Collins says that he will try Hawes at the 4 at training camp. Doesn't mean it's final, he's just testing out different rotations.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much implies Hawes at PF wont happen.
hawes/bynum, best front court in the east. health could be a big concern for them. though, bynum was healthy pretty much all of last year, i remember hawes had to sit out alternating games towards the end of the season. i wonder how his back is holding up with a whole off season for him to rest it.
[QUOTE=Brook(lyn)Lopez]Atlantic Conference is stacked.:eek:
Still expect the Nets to take it though.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, usually adding an overrated 19ppg SG and a 18/8 C while losing most of your bench depth takes you from worst to first in a division that had 3 playoff teams the year before.
However, i do agree Atlantic is stacked. Toughest division in the league now, imo.
[QUOTE=GOBB]Pretty much implies Hawes at PF wont happen.[/QUOTE]
See, I never stated it. All I said was that there's a possibility that he won't start. You are just trying to pin something on me when there's really nothing
You guys don't get it. Bynum is going to be playing the 4, dude has been extending his range to play the 4 more often, which in turn lets Hawes play the 5.

Hawes will start, but the Sixers will have to play someone else at power forward when other teams go to small ball.
Hawes isn't exactly great laterally.
hopefully Doug can motivate Bynum enough to play strong on offense and defense
Sixers will be one of my team's to watch again this season. Bynum is a monster and I think ET will break out. They really need to address there backup PG position though. We will give you JJ Barea for Harkless and a first.

:facepalm its wat we fkin tell u
[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder][B]Hawes won't start at the 4[/B], but I'd like them to play Hawes and Bynum together at times.
The team looks scary. Just under Miami and Boston in the East.[/QUOTE]
Doug Collins has stated otherwise. Do your research.
[QUOTE=midatlantic09]Doug Collins has stated otherwise. Do your research.[/QUOTE]
not true
Sixers got a major steal when they picked up Wayns. He's basically a Kyle Lowry clone and will likely be the Sixers backup PG (Ivey will likely be on the bench) and could end up being their starting PG if Holiday resigns elsewhere when he becomes a FA.
holiday = restricted, they wont let him go
[QUOTE=KDTrey5]not true[/QUOTE]
There is a clip on NBA.com in which Collins states "we're going to go with Jrue and Evan in the backcourt, Dre at the 3, Spencer at the 4, and Kwame at the 5." Then Collins talks about how he believes Hawes is more comfortable at the 4 instead of the 5 and how he plans on starting training camp with Hawes playing the 4.
Look it up.
i honestly see their ceiling at ECF and that's pretty damn good. east got better this offseason for sure but they can possibly pull off an upset vs. boston or indy. hell, a philly vs. NJ/NY series sounds fun to me too

only because hawes got somewhat of a jumper. but hes slow as fck, and if they want to play up tempo like what they did last year he wont be at the 4.
but they got bynum, so it is more likely now
[QUOTE=midatlantic09]Doug Collins has stated otherwise. Do your research.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, notice he didnt show his face again. My lil Pwny!
they should trade hawes or young for ilyasova

LOl. I picture you partying with a couple of hookers and some cocaine just by reading your replies to all this! Damn, you are [I]excited[/I].
Anyway...I think Philly was the grand runner up in all this trade madness by a landslide. (Lakers always have to win trades though, secret NBA mandate.) For me personally, I think Hawes and Bynum will be beasting together as a front court duo. Tons of height between them and their skill-sets will compliment one another.
This is a much better situation for Bynum too because Hawes doesn't the skills of a Gasol (which rightfully came first after Kobe) and Hawes benefits from playing next a more physically/mentally dominant player like Bynum.
I am looking forward to catching a few Sixers games throughout the season to see how Collins teaches this team to play up to their capabilities.

Great reunion.
2nd best ECF team to me:cheers:
It will be nice to watch them counter Heat's perimeter scoring with inside presence and defense. That should a very good series:applause:
i've always had love for the sixers. and this is a great trade for them
bynum is a huuge douchebag, but the sixers will be good. one of the teams i can root for when the nuggets doesnt play
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Hawes come off the bench. Hawes/Thad off the bench and Bynum/Allen starting might work better but there is no harm in seeing how Hawes and Bynum play together.
[QUOTE=miles berg]More than anyone in this trade Philly improved the most.
They got an amazing deal.[/QUOTE]
no doubt. made out like bandits. got bynum and jrich (still a good player, def. not overpaid despite the media hype) for iggy and a scrub (IKIK you love the dude, but you clearly didnt need him)

how is that? People are overreacting. Nice young players who havent proven much and a glaring hole at the 4. have fun running out hawes to guard lebron at the 4

That's because there's no point in arguing with a retarded brick wall.
I try to have a discussion and you immediately start name calling and being a tool. Pretty immature. If you're really in your forties and you act like this you've got issues.
Why would I look up what a coach of a team said, that isn't even a team I follow?
Why would his statement pre-Bynum trade mean anything with the team being shaken up now?
When has it been established that Collins has never changed his mind or retracted something he's said?
It's possible Hawes will start at the four, but I don't think it makes sense.
Now go onto my ignore list so I never have to see you post again.
I want to see Philly bitchslap Miami this season. I really do.

Because Hawes skillset compliments Bynum you dolt. Doug talked about starting Brown/Hawes. Brown isnt a face up player. He doesnt possess range. He spends his time closer to the paint than vice versa. The idea of Hawes playing next to him is the same reason why it makes even more sense with Bynum.
Hawes can operates out of the high post. He's a face up big first and foremost with range. He doesnt spend time with his back to the basket, in the low post. I wouldnt be surprised if Sixers ranked near the bottom of low post possessions. Anyway not only is Hawes a good shooter he is a great passer. These are two pluses you have with having Hawes at the 4. Bynum spends 95% of his time near the basket. He isnt going to face up, he isnt going to shoot jumpers. What he does is establishes position near the rim. Bynum is also good at cutting. If Gasol can hit Bynum Hawes damn sure can.
To say Hawes at PF makes no sense is silly. If you understood basketball and Hawes skillset you wouldnt say that. Its one thing to say you prefer another PF on the roster whom you refuse to name and break down why they should be the PF. But your reply was a snappy one then you get butt hurt when I embarrass you. Thats your fault kid. You want to play the mature, lets have a civil convo angle with this post. Yet you dont talk basketball. You acknowledge the positives with Hawes at 4. You focus on the negative then offer NO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION. How do you even sound kid? Real f*cking stupid is how.
[QUOTE=boozehound]how is that? People are overreacting. Nice young players who havent proven much and a glaring hole at the 4. have fun running out hawes to guard lebron at the 4[/QUOTE]
2nd best team in the ECF may be an overreaction no doubt. But get serious. If Bron is put at PF then obviously Hawes isnt going to play PF. You're smarter than that. :confusedshrug:
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Sixers > Pacers.
I'm looking at that 3 point shooting and thinking this team could upset someone in the playoffs.
They have the core and then if people get hot it can be deadly.
Kind like GS but GS unfortunately will have a much more difficult time actually getting into the playoffs.
Also they should definitely trade for Illysova.
[QUOTE=GOBB]Jrue Holiday. You mad Cavs didnt land Bynum. :roll:
[I]"But but but waiters/thompson are not worth Bynum and bad contract"[/I]
Have fun in the lottery ok?[/QUOTE]
because are two number 4 picks plus varajoe are worth the hope that maybe bynum would be more than a one year rental.
throw in our future draft picks which were most likely included as well.
if bynum leaves we start rebuilinding over from the beginning... and i know that no cavs fans wants to go through two seperate rebuilding processes in 3 years.
why dont they start thad
he seems like hed compliment bynum well, can shoot a bit, and can move his feet on the perimeter, on defense
What's with all this talk about Bynum leaving? There's no chance Bynum would leave if he was traded to any team. Do you know how much money he stands to lose if he leaves?

thats why fcukings cavs are right where they are suppose to be....nobody reported they wanted both 4th picks TT and Waiters....
the deal was Zeller/TT and Varejao for sal purpose....
good luck in lottery...Waiters has bust written all over him just like TT...TT is going to be in same boat as Tyrus Thomas....
Bynum with Irving would be unstoppable next year or 2...but please continue with the rebuilding process where you wont trade proves 2nd best center in the league for draft prospects
[QUOTE=chips93]why dont they start thad

I think it's because Thad can be bullied by real 4s.
