    Yeah, but what sucks more than having the guy you want go one spot ahead of you.

    If they want something of serious value then...

    CBud, 14th pick and cash for the 4th pick, I don't want to give up Brooks because I have bigger plans for that little guy. :eek: :grin: :eek:

    How would that improve our team tho? Who can we take at #6 that will have the same impact as Brooks on this team?

    Whiteside is not worth moving up. Moving up for Monroe, Udoh or Cousins is.

    Cousins if his so-called "attitude problems" cause him too fall there, which I doubt.

    It's not "so called" it is "well documented"...he and coach Calipari did not get along.

    Calipari has attitude problems in my book. Every school he leaves gets slapped with sanctions.

    You take a kid like Cousins and you put him in a professional environment like Houston and he flourishes.

    I to would like to have Cousins. We could definitely use his toughness on this team. He does have somewhat of an attitude. It shows a little in his combine interviews, but with good vet leadership and coaching, that should not be a problem.

    What are you talking about? The only 76er fans are excited about of players on that roster is Jrue Holliday developing at the point. Not only that, I have seen several sports writers mention him as a probable future all star. I'm sure the 76ers would have loved Wall, but at they are in a far better spot with a top pick and Wall off the board.

    Clutch, i don't know if you are kidding or not, but this actually would not be a bad idea. With Lowry still on the team, we could stand to lose Brooks. Besides, both players could be replaced in the draft. My question is, if we were to get Cousins, would it be wise to also get Whiteside as well? I don't know why, but something about Whiteside intrigues me. Maybe its the idea of having a new twin towers. :grin:

    nearing?

    EG was more than just bad attitude. He had a serious mental problem...but apparently if exploiting that helps your argument, it's fair game
