Not at all. He's commanding the ball alot more now, but its not like hes this all world scorer where it would be a detriment to his defense.

Let me also say the crowds are starting to remind of 93-96 pre Iverson with the dead and empty spaces all throughout the stadium its embarrasin

What is your general opinion on AI trade?

I mean, what do you think about what/who Philly acquired for him, AI in Denver, Miller and Joe Smith in Philadelphia...

It potentially will be "hopefully a good thing for the franchise". Its let Andre spread his wings which was really needed

I thought it was a pretty good move, but I'm completely sold at this point. I think the sixers will be a better team next year than they would have been keeping Iverson.

What do you think about Carney? Can he be a very good starter?

I have no idea why I dont like Carney. by the way yesterdays daily news confirmed my comment about attendance. We are dead last in the league

**Coatesvillain** · 03-02-2007, 03:42 AM

I think Carney could be a starter, but he'd only be a solid guy. From what I hear he has a good work ethic but they always have questioned his intensity on the floor one game he'll beast and then the next he'll be a mouse. So who knows if that'll change, when he's feeling it he has no conscience.

Looking at the pieces the team has, it might be a good idea to consider becoming a running team (which would be a situation where Carney would be successful as a starter). Let him fill the lane get easy baskets, in the half court he can help spacing by spotting up. His handle has improved compared to college but I'm still not completely confident when he drives to the basket, it just looks awkward.

To be a running team they have to move Andre Miller, but I'm not sure when or if that would happen.

I was thinking we could trade him for another first rounder. But maybe that's a little too Danny Aingeish....

The truth is I think a guy like Arron Afflalo or Morris Almond could help this team more than Rodney Carney. They're both better on defense and Afflalo is a better shooter, while Almond is a more complete player with superior handles.

I just wanted to ask guys who watch every game what they think. I read somewhere on this board that after watching him this season he's the dark horse to be the best player out of this draft. Thought maybe I was missing something.

**Coatesvillain** · 03-02-2007, 10:51 AM

They said that about Carney? Wow. I can't see that AT ALL. I mean I guess when people say darkhorse it can also include that the person has no shot at all.

I wonder if they can get a first rounder for him anyway.

Andre Miller works great with running teams. It's one of the strengths he's known for having.
