    Why the hell not? We already got Jason Terry. Lets get AK. Maybe Boozer next?

    Karl Malone is going to become Morey's assistant and protegé next.

    Maybe Hinkie will trade AK47 to us for Troy and our picks since they seem to be stockpiling assets.

    If I were Hinkie, I'd have fun playing with the cap space and the fact that I've convinced the owner we don't aim to win this season.

    I remember a Philly reporter tweeting that the Sixers are trying to convince AK to play for them for a while so they can trade him for some value later in the season but AK is not happy about being traded to PHI and doesn't want to play for them.


    If so, I wonder if AK's stance that he's done with the NBA fir a while is a negotiating tactic designed to get himself out of Philly and avoid playing for them.

    So that he can play well and rack up stats on a bad team and they can trade him at the deadline for picks or something.

    They want to maximize and trade their asset in February.

    I understanding waiving Kirilenko because of this fiasco and his age...but I've also heard whispers on the GARM that MCW might be on the market too? Are the Sixers planning to put a formidable team on the floor in the 2020 decade? What gives...

    MCW is am effect example of a mediocre player putting up good stats on a bad team. The Sixers have made him available since the draft. They don't think he's the answer.

    If Morey picked up Kirilenko on the cheap, this team could be very dangerous come playoffs. May mean T Jones is gone tho.

    If we lose one of TJo or DMo, (but keep Peli pick) and end up with Dragic. All good with me.
