Sixers offseason ranked 13th by David Aldridge..
Quote:
13. Philadelphia 76ers
2003-04 RECORD: 33-49, did not make playoffs
SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONS: G Andre Iguodala (1st round, draft); F Brian Skinner (unrestricted free agent, Milwaukee); G Kevin Ollie (acquired from Cleveland)
SIGNIFICANT LOSSES: G Eric Snow (traded to Cleveland)
The Sixers are trying to cut costs, but they're doing it while adding solid players for new coach Jim O'Brien. Obie's presence is the bigger deal. If the Sixers gravitate to him half as much as his Celtics players did, you won't hear any more talk about trading Iverson. It says here that O'Brien will get through to Iverson the same way that Brown did his first two or three seasons, and when the coach and star are on the same page, everyone else has to fall in line. Philly's trying to get back to the annoying defensive style that got them to the Finals -- which just happens to be the way that O'Brien wants to play. Swingman Iguodala fits the mold perfectly -- athletic and long -- and Skinner, in his second go-round in Philly, should help Sam Dalembert on the glass. Philly still has too many holes to be a real contender in the East, but the slide toward the bottom should stop.
