The bottom line is he cant put up points like that or shoot the ball like a few stars can. The sixers paid him like an allstar when they shouldnt have. Iggy is like robin but we have no batman. I like iggy and is a big fan of him and maybe with the right coach and cast he can make the allstar team one day but our management just plain suck.

I recall two players in the NBA who pointed out in situations they discussed. Barkley and C Web were saying back in their worst losing seasons of their careers they had Lynam as the coach.  They praised him as a good guy but its odd that their worst year(s) as a pro he was the coach.  Losing is like a black cloud.  He seems to carry that losing with him everywhere he goes.  Its time to make wholesale changes to this organization.  Fresh new start.  I'm all for Tib,  any assistant from the Lakers staff, or Utah.  They run the best offense and defense it seems every year.    As for coaching a young up and coming team.  Take a look at Memphis coaching roster and wonder why the Sixers couldn’t have that staff.  They all have past ties with this organization and seems to know how to find and make young talented players work.  Lionel Hollins, Johnny Davis, Henry Bibby.  We had Bibby and let him go for what ?  Ayers he stunk as a coach here.  EJ he stinks now, Lynam he’s always on bad teams no matter what team he’s on.

Proof that player talent trumps all in NBA:

Career winning percentages: 

Doug Moe          .543  (COY ’87-’88)
Doug Collins      .536
Jack Ramsey       .525
Byron Scott        .498
Dick Motta         .479
Hubie Brown      .461
Bill Fitch              .460 

Avery Johnson – 4 seasons, .735, 194-70.  Down year was 51-31.  Wonder if he’d accept a strong challenge opportunity in Philadelphia if front office gave him money and agreed to get out of the way.  I want a guy like him with smarts and  muscle car ambition engine.  He’d get rid of dead wood or pile it at end of bench.
