IT’S FINLEY OR BUST FOR THE SIXERS….WE NEED HIM. EVERY REAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM HAS HAD THAT WILY VETERAN PAST PRIME WHO STEPPED UP. BESIDES….WE NEED EXPERIENCED SHOOTING AT THE 2GAURD COMING OFF THE PINE. IF THAD STRUGGLES FROM GROWING PAINS…IGGY CAN PLAY THE 3 DURING SOME GAMES.

@Ryan…absolutely not, about the internal growth. We NEED a shooter. We could have maybe gotten away again with a combo of Lou Williams, Carney and Iguodala shooting 3’s…but now without Carney, we are pretty desperate for any player that can spread the floor from the outside. There are plenty of guys available that we can sign at the vet minimum to fill this role (even if it’s only 15 minutes a game), or to make a minor trade for one.

I do not understand the Iggy trade talk one bit. He’s perfect for this team now. He doesn’t have to be the #1, but can still score 17 a night, play good D and make some big plays.

also, I would like to thank the Bucks for reminding us what the Billy King era was like by signing their own player (Bogut) for an ABSURD contract (only 7 mill less than Brand)

@Joe I see what you were saying, well maybe we will be able to do that. If not I think well be just fine without a “shooter”, I agree with Stefanski, I think e can get better internally.

JKay, if Iggy doesn!t want to be part of this, he is a fool, we may become the best defensive team in the league; I expect a Garnett like effect on this team and add the fact Iggy may be guarding the 2 guards and Sam showed major defensive improvement and Thad will only get better and”WOW”!!!!

I apologize for mentioning Z. Randolph [if Smith,Jamison or Brand] weren!t available on deepsixer, please forgive me!!! Could we possibly gotten better character wise than we were. I think E.S. could sell me his 1950 Nova sitting in his backyard before he got Brand, now I think he has the ability to sell any free agent shooter on Sixer basketball.

I cant see GS making a move for Igoudala since they just signed Maggette. He may get an offer from somewhere, but it wont be GS.
