76ers News: Sunday 1-13-08

6 losses in a row, and the trade rumors are hitting a nice peak. I’m just hoping that Andre Miller leaves town before the trade deadline, and the Steafanski puts the franchise in the pole position for 2008-09. It’s sad the we must look so far ahead, but with Iguodala playing the way he’s been playing - does he really think he’ll get a max contract with 19.1 (pts/gm)/5.7 (rebs/gm) - what else can we do. I love Iguodala’s game, he’s the next best thing to Kirilenko, but at a fraction the cost. Kirilenko makes almost 14 million a year, and everyone knows he’s overpaid. Stefanski is not Billy King. Iggy, you missed the money train kid, sorry.

  • Stefanksi is no dummy, but please…before the deadline –>Stefanski in no rush to trade Miller
  • The 76ers first west coast trip did not go to plan –>76ers’ Western trip heavy on stumbles and crumbles 
  • Louis Williams continues to get positive attention, HoopsWorld –>Up Close With Lou Williams
  • Is Giricek high?, HoopsWorld –>Giricek Talks Playoffs For 76ers
  • Tom Moore calls out Iguodala –>It’s time for Iguodala to start acting like the 76ers’ best player 
  • Martin Frank imagines the 08-09 76ers, he’s left Andre Miller on the team…scary sad –>How the 76ers might look next season 
  • I’ve said it before, here it goes again. This is a lucky group. Once again the 76ers caught a team in shambles. Rookie of the Year, Kevin Durant is out hurt, Chris Wilcox is out, Luke Ridnour also out. The Sixers get the win. Louis Williams came off the bench and played solid, netting 19 points. The whole Sixers team shot well, almost 50% from the field. The key difference for the Sixers came on the free thrown line: 36 to 11. The flash Gordan era is upon us. Giricek played 14 minutes, scored 6 (only missing 1 of 3 attempts) and didn’t look foolish. He’s already done more than I expected.

    Bye Bye Kyle Korver

    Kyle Korver

    Ed Stefanksi didn’t waste too much time. Kyle Korver, the heart throb of south Philly, has been traded to the Utah Jazz for Gordan Giricek and a future first round draft pick. Don’t expect much from Gircek. He’s averaging about 12 mins a game for the Jazz. He in this trade to match salary, not much else. Giricek is in the last year of his contract, making 4 million. So, this is also a cap relief move, giving Stefanski additional cap room to attempt a major signing next summer.
