Thanks for doing that interview with Ed, Dabods. Pretty good job overall.
At least Ed is realistic about what the Sixers need and how difficult it would be to get that player. It's also good to know his philosophy is to pick the best available player, not necessarily the specific piece your team needs. That makes Ed a trading GM - he will try to pick up players that other teams need in order to gain leverage to get the player he needs.
Right now we have a wealth of players at the 3. Ed should decide which two are best and trade the rest. In conjunction with that, he has to see which of the 3's can play at the 2 spot. I think the 1 is fine with Miller and Williams, although I'm concerned about their defense.
I know that you aren't all that impressed with Willie Green, but I think he's an NBA player and has the ability to be a pretty decent talent. All in all, I think we're competitive, although not dominant by any means at the 1, 2 and 3 spots.
I was hoping you could have asked Ed about the young bigs that are languishing on the bench. Have they decided that drafting them was a mistake and they can't play, or are they injured and unable to play, or so raw that they aren't considered capable of playing successfully right now?
I haven't been around lately- was in Fla. on vacation. I see the Sixers took a big slide while I was away, but saw them defeat Toronto last night.
What have the Sixers been doing while I was away that made them slide like that? I read that Sammy has been putting together lots of double-doubles lately- it seems the team should have been more competitive, based on the way they were after the West Coast trip.
