Coach for a week ...

Imagine you were given the role of coaching Philly for a week. Do anything you want, make trades, change starting lineup, change the way team will play. What would u do ?

I think i would sign rod strickland. This frees up AI if we need to him to go back to shooting guard. Strickland is a great backup point guard but not a scoring threat.

This would be my starting 5

C: Sammy
PF: Kenny Thomas
SF: Iguadola
SG: Green (out of form lately)
PG : AI

And i dont think this team is suited to a uptempo offense, change to what ? iam not too sure yet

I'd keep the starting lineup we have but do the following:

Play Skinner, Salmons, and Green more; play Iverson, McKie, and Williamson less. Throw Josh Davis to the end of the bench and play.

On defense I'd play to Dalembert's strength by funnelling people down to him, and allow him to utilize his shotblocking abilities. The way Dalembert blocks the ball, it'd allow the Sixers to run the break similar to how the 76ers worked with Theo Ratliff during his years with the team.

Like HKF said, the team is capable of running, it's just not capable of shooting the three. I'd like to see more of a Princeton type offense in the halfcourt, the offense stagnates and has little imagination in the current variation. Instead of just going into the post to open up the perimeter, allow the players to get open based on constant movement.

Here's how I'd break down the minutes..

PG - 48 minutes
Allen Iverson (35), Willie Green (8), John Salmons (5)

SG - 48 minutes
Andre Iguodala (26), Willie Green (8), Aaron McKie (10), John Salmons (4)

SF - 48 minutes
Kyle Korver (28), Andre Iguodala (7) , John Salmons (5), Corliss Williamson (8)

PF - 48 minutes
Kenny Thomas (27), Marc Jackson (10), Brian Skinner (5), Corliss Williamson (6)

C - 48 minutes
Samuel Dalembert (30), Marc Jackson (10), Brian Skinner (8)
