Mashburn's contract is insured, the Sixers won't be paying much of his contract.

Mash will never be healthy again and Webber is due for an injury any day now.

Man it sounds like Mashburn's career is over with. Sad really. He was one of the best SFs in the game when he was healthy.  |

But who could have told you 3 years ago that Allen Iverson, Chris Webber and Jamaal Mashburn would all be on the same team eventually? Weird

Who could have told you that about... a week ago?

Well people have been telling me for years that Hill would never play again at a high level. What happened to those cleos? 
I didn't know the extent of Mashburn's injury.

What's sad about it to me is that, in my eyes, he never quite got the chance to own his spot in the limelight. Whenever he was near or at his peak, he'd have an injury or an illness interrupt it.
Even though Monster Mash will probably never play again, I still think that the Sixers are contenders next season. Allen Iverson's a Warrior and Webber should have a renewed hunger. The emergence of Kyle Korver and Willie Green will definately compliment the two superstars. Andre Iguodala might develop more aspects of his game for next season too.
It'll be interesting to see how they tweak their roster in the off-season.

Sorry, I can't remember where I read it, but reports said that mashburn, in all likelyhood will retire after this season and his contract is insured up to 80%...

Re: If Mashburn is healthy next year, the 76ers will be a title contender.
this team is doomed for being over the cap, so the only way the can add players to their roster is via trades. that's what mashburn's contract is for, they're going to try and bring in other players by trading mashburn. i think i read this in one of the yahoo articles. makes sense, though it's quite weird because most teams make trades to free up cap space and they're doing the opposite.

No, if Mashburn does indeed retire, his contract becomes a hot commodity (a la Terrell Brandon a while back). Its cap relief.

Why do you hate O'Brien so much? I think that he is a very good coach.

Yeah, they got something (Rodney Rogers) out of nothing (Glenn Robinson). Rodney will be able to help the Sixers off the bench.

Re: If Mashburn is healthy next year, the 76ers will be a title contender.
Mash has lost all the surface area cartilage in one of his knees. That means there's no "buffer" area, meaning it's bone on bone, meaning he can't stop, can't change direction, and basically can't play basketball (hell, he can't walk all that well supposedly) until his cartilage grows back. Unfortunately, modern medicine has not figured out a way to grow back surface area cartilage. The only procedure that works in some capacity is microfracture surgery, which Chris Webber had in the summer of 03. Basically, during microfracture surgery doctors punch holes in your knee, your knee bleeds, and that "promotes" the growth of surface area cartilage. Unfortunately it's just a thin slice of cartilage, it's not great, so you can't play too long on the knee without resting it.
Kidd had microfracture surgery, but apparently he didn't lose any (or much) surface area cartilage, so he's doing just fine. Otherwise his career would be over.

Two things. Mashburn is most likely done at this point, and if not after all these | |
