Also a lot of moves you're making out to be minor were mistakes that have tied up cap space. If he didn't give Eric Snow that huge contract, we wouldn't have Kevin Ollie and we'd have more flexibility.

At least King never pulled a Jerome James-IT or Foyle-Mullin overpaying contract. He never gave huge contracts to crappy players.

Re: This is why I hate Billy King
^^^ LOL
Wasn't there a lot of competition between teams to sign Samuel? Maybe he just raised his price tag in desperation cause he was afraid to lose him.

Yeah there were other teams after him, and like I said in another thread Billy had all the chips to make a move and get a lot in return for Dalembert. I mean he was the Hawks' #1 target, the Sixers could've gotten a similar package as the one Phoenix got for Johnson. Ah well.

Oh wow, you guys could have possible stolen Josh Smith, Childress, Boris Diaw or some other combination of talented players from the ATL. or possible even some high draft picks. But Sammy is still young and has serious potential.

LOL what dimension were you living in last NBA season? The dimension that I live in says that Randolph averaged 2.3 ppg 2.30 rebounds 0.3 asst and only played 8.5 minutes per game during the 05-06 season. By no stretch of the imagination could that ever be considered "a valuable bench player". Last season Antoine Walker was a valuble bench player, Maurice Williams, Leandro Barbosa, Fred Jones, Alonzo Mourning, Mike Miller, and others. I'm still laughing at you placing Randolph and valuable in the same sentence LMAO!!!!!

The dimension that watches basketball. Watch him play, then look at his stats. Not the other way around.

If you look at the stats, Jeff Foster doesn't average much better stats than Shavlik and he's considered a valuable bench player.
Name a player off the Sixers bench who provided the energy and rebounding that Randolph brought out there. He also made his way to the free throw line a very respectable rate.

Your posts get worse and worse. Do you, or have you even watched a game to make that assertation? Quite simply hes a hustle guy, and thats what is needed and that makes him valuable.

Re: This is why I hate Billy King
There absolutely HAS to be somebody on the Sixers board that knows basketball besides me. 
I'm done with Randolph talk because I have already concluded that his supporters have not generated there opinions of him from what they've seen of his performances on the NBA hardwood...
I want the Sixers to sign Reggie Evans. As of right now there isn't one proven NBA hustler/floor burner on the Sixers roster outside of AI. Reggie Evans is good for 8 rebounds off of the bench and would be an excellent compliment to the "Bigs" that we have on the team because he'll be the rebounding specialist. And unlike Dalembert and Hunter he doesn't have a problem with maintaining focus and energy in games. He reminds me of Tyrone Hill, and we made it to the Finals with that dude...
The Sixers still don't have a consistant shooting threat/scorer in there backcourt except AI. Flip Murray would have been a great addition even though he choked in a few playoff games. I didn't like what I seen of Willie Green at the end of last season. he looked like he lost an entire step and alot of leaping ability. He has never proven to be somebody you can count on to produce from the perimeter under all circumstances. I'm concerned about our perimeter right now, really concerned... |

Teams are banking on his potential. This guy's not a natural. He'll need to find the right team and system for his game to flourish.
