    Does your toyota supra score 17pts, 7 rebs, 6 assists and 2 steals? :grin:

    Sixers GM: "No Untouchables"

    "I won't talk about trades or rumors," said Stefanski, who formerly was the general manager of the New Jersey Nets. "I will say that we're very active in talking to teams throughout the league, and we're listening to any option to improve the basketball team. When I was in Jersey, and here, I don't think there are untouchables

    "Anyone can get traded in this league, and we've seen it over and over. But we don't trade a player unless we get value back, basketball-wise."

    No Dave, I am not dreaming of Yao and T-MAC... I know Mcgrady is gone, I wish I could refresh this page and see a new thread reading Tracy has been traded.... I want to get this overwith as much as everyone.. But thing is we do have Yao and we do T-Mac... Its not a fantasy, its a reality.... Morey thinks he can make this team better than that by trading Mcgrady... I am still waiting and hoping.... Lets see I say...

    I'm not saying this is a one time deal and we have to have. I just like what we get out of that trade. A legit size at center and a slash SG we will need after McGrady goes on his unmerry way.

    They are in no position to bargain....If they try it, than Dalembert, Brand, and Iggy will kill their cap space for years to come.

    I would trade Brooks and/or Landry with McGrady in a second, if It involved us getting Young and/or Speights back in return with Iggy & Sam....

    McGrady is gone already. You should be glad about that too. After microfracture, back issues, shoulder surgery and a million other injuries on his 30 year old body, McGrady can only dream to come back and put up the number Iguodala is putting up. In fact, the argument can be made that McGrady's 2007-2008 numbers are not better than Iguodala's current numbers.

    Salvy you dont know **** about basketball if your going to defend T-Mac. Hes had plenty of years to take us somewhere and didnt do ****. Iggy kept a ****ty team in the playoffs last year. Iggy is also much younger and healthier. So take your POS supra and trade it in for a new toyota ffs. Tmac is so worthless i cant even find a place to start. Get some basketball IQ before you post on these boards again. If you know anything about the rockets let me educate you. our playstyle is up tempo fast break with tough Defensive emphasis. What happened when we got tmac on the court this year? instantly slowed down the ball on the offenseive end. for some reason he likes to hold the ball and stare down his defender for the first 20 seconds of the shot clock. and we watched people blaze past him with his effort in d nowwhere in sight. he could barely even jump for a rebound.

    lastly look at all our acquisitons recently. lowry (up tempo player) ariza (up tempo player) budinger (up tempo player) list goes on and on. The only reason and i mean the ONLY reason we got tmac was because we had yao. yao is a black hole with the ball which allowed tmac to run the team with his style (which is look for a shot slow as hell and if he cant find it dish it to yao) which we quite clearly ARE NOT catering to anymore. and adleman being one of the most respected and easy going coches in the NBA, STILL couldnt put up with tmac. what does that tell you? tmac is a pathetic excuse of a proffessional. there is nothing proffesional about him.

    if iggy comes here adleman WILL make him a superstar. just look at what he did with brooks and landry over the course of one season. they went from decent players to threats on the court.

    Ha I stopped reading right when you said Pos Toyota, Sorry man but you need education period..... You clearly dont know anything about cars or engines (what do you drive by the way?).... So now lets talk about basketball, Iggy....... Iggy has done what with the Sixers? the same thing T-Mac has done... Nothing.... Yes Iggy is younger and I rather have Iggy playing than T-Mac not, but how the hell do you know Adelman will make him into a star.... I bet you said the same thing about Ariza....

    Now, if we could only put one of these into T-Mac...

    supras arent actually POS my buddies are brothers and have 2 1000HP supras they are awesome. but i was more referring to how iggy didnt have a dominating all star on his team like tmac had yao and other role players..and read my second paragraph so you can read it and not find any way im wrong on why tmac will forever be useless to us. we have no reason to keep him. and no i knew ariza wasnt going to do ****. he is an amazing role playeer. thats all he ever will be. brooks and landry were never role players they did their own thing and adleman let them grow from that. iggy is more similar to landry/brooks in his growth direction rather then ariza.

    but if your old school like me ,and you like 1990, then get yourself a 5.0 v8 1000lb car with positive traction rear> [​IMG]

    didnt you hear, the computer sensors in all japanese cars when they go out start to accelerate on its own and kill people.

    If you think we could win a championship with Budinger and Lowry in the starting lineup, you must be smoking some good bud. They are both very good role players, but we'd be in trouble if they were in our starting 5
