We need to build and transform the team into a solid unit, meaning keeping players adn purchasing players who know there roles and adhere to them whilst maintaining a 'team' element. Miller has done very well so far, pity he just looks depressed with the situation he's in every time i watch a Sixers match. If anyone needs to be traded its Dalembert/Hunter/Henderson/Smith(only 1 yr left on contract anyway)/Ollie...to me these lot are expendable. Im a fan of Dalembert and Hunter but please come on, we are one of the top teams historically and fan based wise in the East, we are one of the elites playing like one of the worst, Dalembert has been in teh League for over 5years and has developed a little each year, he had terrible figures last year, he has poor court awareness, no top team would have him as starting Centre, he is a good shot blocker but thats it, you can keep him if you have a perennial PF who compensates for his lack of skills, but we dont we have bloody Alan Henderson and Joe Smith (hopefully Randolph will develop into a decent backup, but thats all he'll be). Hunter is having a 'honeymoon period' where he's doing well, but he wont be playing this way for the rest of his career, if anyone thinks we are going anywhere with Dalembert and Hunter as a 1/2 combination, you need you're head sorted. Also, unless Green and Korver can be more consistent, or can accept a lifetime of being a backup to our starters one day, they should go too, we can keep average players who have occasional good games and delude ourselves that they will become good players they wont! We nees a complete shift in the style and roste building around, Igoudala, Miller, with Williams and Carney coming through. But if Carney stars to mature as aplayer soon, hopeful he does, he's not going to stay, Iggy and Carney's game are too similar, shot blocking, dunkers, they're swingmen, both young who will want to start not be backups, so in the future when Carney matures it will be another choice, who to keep as your swingman, AI or Carney....for me its AI all the way.

what do you think?
At this point, Sammy isn't going anywhere via trade this yr because there isn't a demand from a playoff team for a big man. But I wouldn't mind moving him next season. He's not worth his contract. Miller otoh, is in demand and teams might be willing to fork over an expiring contract and a pick for him. Like I said earlier, I'm split on him whether he's traded or not is a win-win for us. 1. We're not going anywhere this season anyway, so losing him won't hurt. 2. If AM is traded, Williams then sees for minutes and I'm curious how he performs with more playing time. I'm hoping he turns out to be another Monta Ellis or close to him. Monta came out of the same draft and is also a 2nd Rd Pk.

And once Shav gets healthy, and this might be a reach, but I think he can be another Bobby Jones. He has the defensive skills but needs to work on his offensive game.
