After the Finals success of two seasons ago, the Sixers went to work getting rid of everything that took them there. George Lynch, Tyrone Hill, Jumaine Jones, Rodney Buford all leave town. Of course that doesn't mean we don't get any new friends as the following players ventured in:
Corie Blount
Derrick Coleman
Vonteego Cummings
Matt Harpring
Derrick McKey
Jabari Smith
Don't worry, I won't forget mentioning McKie and Iverson not having surgery until training camp starts. And I won't forget the Sixers signing Mutombo to a riddiculous contract. We've found our outside shooter, Matt Harpring, and we have a backup forward in Corie Blount. We also find out that we can't win, with two riddiculously long losing streaks during the season. But we fight back, and fight back Sixers style, and Iverson goes on to say that he believes we are the best team in the East.
During the season the usual things happen, Snow gets hurt, Coleman gets hurt/suspended, McKie gets hurt, Iverson gets hurt. And we're watching young players rot on the bench, as Corie Blount is fouling everything up, can't pass him the ball because he can't catch, and he's always lost.
Season is closing, and we're neck and neck with Charlotte and Orlando for possibly the 4 spot. We don't play starters for the last couple games of the season, lose them, and we're stuck with the 6 seed. Oh don't worry.. we own the Celtics.. right? Wrong, it appears these Celtics were ready to play in the playoffs.. and our star player who wasn't used to running in over a month, was shooting like a maniac..
We lose the first two.. win the second two.. lose the last one in embarrassing fashion. The World says what was said the year prior, Sixers need a shooter. Harping apparently wasn't the answer that Brown told us he was. So what do we do? Say bye to Speedy Claxton. Say hi to Mark Bryant. Say hi to Greg Buckner and Monty Williams. And guess what, "WE AREN'T DONE!" Atleast that's what Billy King says..
Guess what King? I wish you never started!
No it all makes sense, not going for the secondary scorer we need, and instead going for two defensive minded players. But if finally makes sense to me:
We aren't making the playoffs.
Envelopes are frozen in the NBA lottery.
We're going to draft LeBron James.
If Larry Brown leaves, guess what? He'll play. But Larry Brown will be here, and LeBron will just be getting ready to be shipped out to somewhere.
YAY! SIXERS!
