Wow, this place still exists. Good to know, as the other Sixers boards can get a bit crazy...

« on: December 22, 2009, 07:11:58 PM »Why anyone thinks we should trade Elton Brand needs to explain themselves.
Team bad.
Key players ages 19-25
team at tax threshold and likely has little more than MLE money in nay of the next 4 years.
Brand will make 15M,16M,18M ages 32-4.

That was some entertaining defense by Jrue. I don't usually "enjoy" watching defense. But its fun to see the kid lock down these supposed stars.

Wonder what EJ's salary per win is over the last 41 games?

Wall does not have much of a jumper- so I doubt he would project as a SG. He is a PG with more of a scorer's mentality.

It is in Iverson's best interest to be the best player and teamate he can be, as if he fails here, his NBA career is over. The positives outweigh the negatives.
We'll see if you agree when AI and WG are combining for 72 min a game and Jrue gets <5 min. Also when AI helps them in there laste season run to get them the 8th worst record in the league... like how the Sixers screwed things up with Joe Smith and Andre Miller leading them to a stupid 18-7 finsih.

For the record, if they do land a stud with a top 5 pick I see this as a very good team in 3 years if they keep the roster together. Not a contender, but a very good team.
If they somehow get a superstar in this years draft they could be a contender in 3 years.
...Actually a better scenario IMO than this team winning 34-43 wins like I though they would heading into the season.

How do you rate his coach and the defensive philosophy?
Because this team is not about talent. Its much less than the sum of its parts.

A copy of some basic feedback I posted at depressedfan:
I listened to about 1/2 of it. Good analysis. We are all spoiled by the polished ESPN shows, and I appreciate the in depth coverage (that we really can't get elsewhere.)
A few comments:
Logistics:
-Typing sounds comes accross somewhat loud.
-Derek's mic is louder than Brian's.
Topics:
-Good, much have what has been covered the blogs.
-You guys agree... a lot. You also agree with my line of thinking. Not a bad thing, but I think you need to find some topics you have diametrical opinions. I find Dannie and Pete at ReclinerGM sometimes see things a bit differently, which makes things interesting. Some strong opinionated posters here and realgm as well (and Jem.)
-Maybe have readers suggest some topics in advance?
-Maybe have a competition for predictions and keep track during the season.
Also individual predictions (break out and bust player of the week predictions?)

So they must have fired Mo because he did not run ENOUGH small ball.
I really hate small ball, and they went with it for the final 15 minutes. I guess EJ figured they were not being beaten on the boards badly enough.

Everyone thinks Brand isn't playing well, but um, well, on court off court, well, I don't know how to explain it....and there's too much to sum up

Wow, its worse than it was. Now 32% of his close inside shots are getting blocked. That's insane. (Crazy Eddie insane... every shot must GO!)

On Libertyballers they had some great quotes from disgruntled Wizards fans. Now these type of complaints are common for any bad team, but some really jibe with the problems we can already see:

My hatred for EJ knows no bounds. Under his idiotic regime the Wizards have been one of the worst teams in the league defensively and have the absolute lowest basketball IQ. He has ridden the talents of Gilbert Arenas for long enough. It?s time for the Wizards to dump this loser and get an legit NBA coach in here.
Quote
I can?t even watch this team play any more. between the lack of intensity early in games, the lack of defensive rebounding, the wide open 3s, its just too frustrating.
Quote
It?s time for a change. This team needs a greater commitment to defense ? Eddie has had opportunities to do this, and our defense has only become worse. And I find his favoritism to be completely unprofessional.
Quote
any coach with half a brain would play Andray over Ruffin..but not you you moron. Fire Eddie!
Quote
Jordan?s the reason fans boo Haywood. Brendan?s a far better player than Eddie Jordan is as a coach. Washington?s success is due to Arenas, Jamison, Butler, and when he plays Haywood. Jordan?s total disregard of statistics that point to the ineffectiveness of Jarvis Hayes has led me to conclude he?s biased in favor of Hayes. Same for Etan Thomas. Jordan plays favorites and is a close-minded coach. Play veterans, tough guys, and guys that show effort is the reason Blatche never plays while Ruffin often does, as the Wizards lose. Blatche and Haywood are by far the best offensive rebounders on the team, but Jordan would rather get beat playing short Cs and small ball. I think Eddie Jordan is very overrated as a coach, and the Wizards will be terrible defensively as long as his staff and his pet players are on the team. Lastly, he?s going to get swept in the playoffs before he realizes Mason?s a better shooter than Stevenson.
Quote
Exceptional as individual talents, mediocre as a team ? It could only be the coachs fault.
Quote
He?s holding this franchise back. His ?leading? this team to 3 straight playoffs happens to coincide with the arrival of Arenas and Jamison, Hughes having a career contract year, and Butler making his first all star game. Is he leading, or along for the ride?
Misconception: Eddie Jordan hasn?t led the Wizards to three straight playoff appearances, he?s been riding the ?Hibachi? for the last three years. Stop giving credit where none is due!
This man is being carried by 3 extremely talented players and the extension he signed last summer set this team back years. Please, its time to go in a different direction.
Quote
What ridiculous subsitution patterns. Why haven?t we seen Blatche in the playoffs, especially given the defensive rebounding difficulties?

« on: May 07, 2009, 02:22:01 PM »I'd say that next year, with continued improvement from Young (16-18 ppg), and Brand come back in his proper role, we're a 47-48 win team.
Not exactly my goal.
I don't have any real goals for next year in terms of wins. I'm interested to see if they get a PG who can shoot and defend. Then I am looking towards 2 years from now, when hopefully Brand, Young and Speights are all contributing at a high level.
If that team in 2 years is good, then maybe they can parlay some of the expiring bums (Sam, Evans, Green) into upgrades.
Even best case we are talking a very good but not great team in 2-3 years. I guess I will have to settle for that best case scenario- because I don't see any realistic moves that has this team a top contender in the next 3 years.

Works great. Thanks for the work.
Easy to find things like: Sixers are 20-7 when they shoot 34% or better from 3.
