They release him with no chance to be signed to play in the playoffs, not that it would have happened, but nontheless, another brilliant move by a brilliant front office. I guess with the Phillies underway they figure nobody is noticing. There are a few loyal fans left !!!

Did his bobblehead just increase or decrease in value? How does the market swing in such cases?

Stefanski just came out and said AI is done for the year.

suede, I forgot about Kapono (0-12 from 2010 arc) who shovels no coal to the team’s engine room of ashes … scratched him from serious consideration early when he walked onto floor wearing #72. And now he’s sporting an actual beard to cover his theoretical game. Opponents shiver when they see him at the scorer’s table.

I’m glad you’re holding our mastermind GM accountable too.

Jumpin, your forgetting adding Elton and Kapono, who I would take over Reggie and Donyell, though your point I believe is a good veteren presence and yes, that is missing. But I said at the beginning of the year a vet., physical big [Voskuhl?] would of helped a bench with 2 soft youngins [ Spieghts,Smith] more than another softie, [Brezec] would. The g.m. is, included whenever I mention our coach, without me saying it, sorry.

Better infrastructure/more experience, attitude & reliability last year:

Andre Miller              Jrue Holiday
Reggie Evans               Rodney Carney
Donyell Marshall        Jason Smith
Theo Ratliff                   Primoz Brezac/Jodie Meeks

Which hand of cards would you rather be holding as a coach? Which set of players would you rather go to war with? Stefanski, the roster architect, is to blame as much or moreso than Jordan, but somehow he manages to get a lesser degree of criticism. Why is that?

Just heard, Inquirer says Iverson not returning this season.

I really hope this isn’t by way of the Eds telling him that they don’t want him back.

More excuses from our coach, as usual. A guy that hadn!t coached in 20 years [Deleo] got more out of this group last year, and guest, to answer your question, if our g.m. still believes in this group than bring in a coach that fits it. I hope Jordan isn!t kept on because of the excuse of his team blossoming, if you will, from 25 to 43 wins in his 2nd season in Wash. . Dannie, did Jrue!s jumper look better last night to you, not because of the makes, but Pinkney talked about Aaron working on Jrue getting his legs into his shot more, he looked to have better balance.

Also the only time i’ve seen the PO have consistant effectiveness in this more athletic NBA era(1995 to present) is when the early 2000′s Sac-town Kings and Rick Adelman running it. He had 2 GREAT passing bigs Divac & C-Webb(They had Brad Miller to right?), and guys that could hit the open J, and when the offense broke down, C-Webb did his thing.
