[Philly Inquirer] 76ers have to knock over Rockets with young talent (UPDATE: 1/13)

this is the only deal i do with philly, but philly probably says no. I have no desire to add Dalembert.

 

You really think he wants to stay in Philly that much? He was demanding a trade last year. He may feel okay about Philly now due to the fact he's playing well, but I can't see him complaining about being traded to a legit playoff team with a major role for him, at least this year.

I just don't see the Haiti situation being an excuse for him not wanting to leave Philly for Houston. Maybe if he were traded to Portland...

 

Same here. The guy would step in and log big minutes and get to showcase his talent all while being in the thick of the playoff hunt.

 

Nobody wants Brand or Dalembert. Sixers pitched an Iggy trade to the Cavs.

I like that but we still have no big man!

 

Yao Ming?

 

A reliable big man ?

 

my estimation numbers

if any team trades for dalembert, your paying 11,000,000 this year and 12,000,000 next year, ....but thats not it. Then you have to pay another 1.5-2,000,000 for trade kicker this year. THEN you are sent over the lux tax,and I dont know the numbers, but you get fined for being over,plus you pay the same amount you are over, then you lose out on a distributed amount sent to teams in a pool that are under the tax.The rockets are on the tax line. He would send us 12,000,000 OVER tax line next year if we re-sign lowry,scola.

so to get dalembert , who is at best a average center your paying 11(salary)+12(salary)+2(trade)+12(tax fine)+5(pool money)= 42 million for 2 seasons to a average center in order to keep lowry and scola.

or to avoid tax your trading tmac/scola/lowry for iggy/dalembert .Nope wouldnt do it.

 

Talkin bout THIS year! I love Chuck wagon but he's not a starter for a PLAYOFF team!

And idk bout u but id like to compete this year!!

 

When u look at like that.... Well, it just sucks!

Im not good with all the numbers! Would that ruin our chances to sign Bosh?

 

If you have Iggy+Dalembert+Yao

no way we can afford Bosh.

 

We won't really have a chance to sign Bosh unless we get his Bird Rights anyway.

 

Didnt think so!

Screw Dalembert then!

 

It is not Dalembert, then. One game he will get you 15 pts and 4-5 blocks, then he will score 2-6 pts for a week and have no blocks. It's like going to Las Vegas.

 

That's true, Dalembert looks disinterested in games for long periods of time. Right now is not a good example of his value because he's playing out of his mind.

 

An Iggy in the hand is better than a Bosh in the bush.

 

Thought I would chime in but I was looking ata 3 team deal
Houston trades TMAC+ brian cook+ Taylor or Dorsey if Needed
Philadelphia trades Iggy< Samuel Dalember t+ Thadeous Young + this years draft pick lottery protected
Memphis trades Ruday gay to Houston for Thadeus Young + the Pick from philly

Houston gets
IGgY Dalembert and Rudy gay
Philadelphia gets TMac and Brian Cook
Memphis gets Thadeus young ( reports are that Heisley will not pay Rudy)

This will take care of our shooting woes- with a legitimate go to scorer and Rudy Gay- who is slightly below all star caliber with room to grow and a back up for Yao when he returns- in dalembert!

 

No way Philly does that lol.
You give up a rising stud in Thaddeus AND your lottery pick this year. That hurts what they are trying to achieve.

 

some posters missed the point.....why does philly want to move iggy??? its not for more talent....its to clear all the capspace they can:

I've been thinking about this trade for several days........

ai9
kapono
lou williams

for

tmac

that takes off something like 24 million off their 2010 season salary.....they can go after ANYONE they want after dalembert expires...

 

I think that's a pretty reasonable middle ground scenario. They may try to snag Lowry though. Does Kapono expire this year or next? Hoopshype says next, ESPN trade machine says this year...
