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.

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.
