Shavlik Randolph was one of the best interior defensive big men for the 76ers last yr (Not that hard to accomplish, but still). He was probably the best rebounder on the team when he was on. If not for injuries, he got around the basket more times then not. He is a quality player. Sometimes you don't have Dwyane Wade's on your basketball team. This is one of those times. We don't have those uber-talented stars, and you really only need 1 (Iverson) to win. You just need to be a competent GM to do things.

He'd be lucky to get $4 million and yes I do believe he is worth twice as much as Randolph, the game stats support it...

Come on Sixers fans I am here to converse with like minded people who know the dynamics of the game, I'm confident you are out there somewhere...It seems like this Sixers messageboard is filled with video game playing comic book collectors...

When you only have 5 posts, your entire post goes completely against you. I acknowledge my stupidity but I at least try to follow the team.

Toronto just signed Fred Jones for 3yrs. $11 mil. The Sixers sure could have used Fred Jones. He would have been a wonderful fit with Iverson in the backcourt. Instead we are looking at Willie Green or even playing Igoudala (a natural small forward) at the shooting guard again... Billiy King is terrible, how can you not make any additions to a team that didn't make the playoffs last year???????
He basically subtracted Salmons, and Matt Barnes and replaced them with Carney and Bobby Jones. You have to add a NBA proven player at some point...This guy has no clue, Larry Brown made him the "figure head" GM when he came to town now Ed Snider doesn't know enough about basketball to recognize that Billy King is not someone who can build a vision and lead a team into success....FIRE BILLY KING!

The Sixers have no need for Fred Jones. We already have two athletic swingmen w/ absent jumpshots.

Based on Summer league reports, Rodney Carney has developed to the point where he is a more athletic Richard Hamilton. One can only hope, we can then play Iggy at the 3, where he belongs.

Unfortuneately, the Summer League usually has very little correlation with the actual season in terms of performance. Not sure where the Rip Hamilton comparison comes from either. Rodney had a streaky jumpshot, at best, in college. He would've had to do some serious work to get that anywhere near Rips'.

Sixerfanforlife

Yeah, but summer reports have he's coming off screens, take it for what it's worth.

BEEZ pointed out the stats, despite being in the league longer and getting twice as many minutes he didn't really produce that much more than Shavlik. He's not a good defender, he's not giving a team anything on offense, he rebounds and grabs testicles. He's a nice, solid player.

All you've proven is that you're a blowhard who doesn't have the ability to put together a coherent argument. Outside of stats, tell us what Reggie Evans does right now that's so great outside of rebound?

And yeah, I do read comic books, and I'm not ashamed of it one bit.

Fred Jones is an undersized two guard who shoots a poor percentage from the floor, he's a good defender, and he runs the court well but he doesn't provide anything that Andre Iguodala doesn't. I think that the Willie Green contract signing was a mistake, but it's not like Fred Jones would've been that much of a better signing.

Also Iguodala isn't a natural small forward, he's a 2 who played out of position at the beginning of his rookie season to allow Aaron McKie to start.

Also if you paid attention you'd know the reason the Sixers haven't added anyone veteran wise to this team, is that they aren't trying to go over the luxury tax threshold. This is a point that I've hammered out about a million and a half times this offseason.

Replacing Matt Barnes? I supported the hell out of the guy, but come on.. Billy King could suit up and replace what Barnes gave the Sixers last season.

Fire Billy King.

AI is the only player on the Sixers that is a constant. All of the successful teams in the NBA have SEVERAL players that are a constant. Where they can come out and play there games confidently and efficiently. The Sixers have a bunch of players that are scared/erattic. We all know Chris Webber is the Tin Man in the fourth quarter, he has no heart. Personally I would trade Iguodala. If he doesn't work out at the small forward position this year then he'll absolutely have to go. He'll never be a successful shooting guard because he's not a shooter and he lacks the ball handling ability/footwork to penetrate at will in a half court offense. Carney is another guy with a suspect handle, Iguodala and Carney are the same kinds of players as Jumaine Jones, Devean George, and Desmond Mason. That's the kind of future I see for Iguodala and Carney, hopefully I'm wrong but tall SG's with suspect handle/penetrating ability, no sweet jumpshot, and confidence problems usually never overcome those kinds of things...You have to have some offensive skill to build off of. Iguodala's would be passing but the Sixers don't need that from there wing players especially with Iverson giving him/them wide open shots ALL GAME LONG.
