Melo's Answer

Didnt see this mentioned here so I figyad Id pass along the news...

RealGM Staff Report -
Philadelphia 76ers President Billy King announced today that the Sixers have acquired forward Reggie Evans and the rights to forward Ricky Sanchez from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for forward Bobby Jones and forward/center Steven Hunter.

"We are excited to add Reggie Evans our roster. He is an accomplished rebounder that we feel will make an immediate impact and will exemplify our commitment to hard work, rebounding and defense," said King. "At 6-11, Ricky Sanchez is a young prospect that has potential and we will continue to monitor his development as he plays overseas." [READ]

Good for both teams. Nuggets needed a backup C, while adding a young shooter in Bobby. Sixers needed a good rebounding PF, and they added one in Evans.

But now who will backup Dalembert for this team? Would Sixers trade for a backup C or sign some cheap big?

Wow, that came out of left field. We'll see how this goes but it also gives us the need for another C. Im not sure whats out there for cheap

whatever. this fills a void and creates another.

edit: on second thought, this is pretty decent. while it does put a hole in the middle, they now have a legit rebounder, instead of two shot blockers.

My biggest problem with this is that I think the Dalembert/Hunter combo was great defensively. Evans can't even spell defense.

Jason Smith, backup C?

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

Looks like it may be Calvin Booth that fills the backup C role.

If every sixer fan donated $1, would that be enough to have King assasinated?

I think the trade is good for both teams.Reggie Evans is a banger and a very good rebounder which the sixers really needed,and the nuggets acquire a nice young talent like bobby jones.

BEEZ

bobby jones is terrible. he was supposed to be a defender and in limited time he wasnt good at that
