    Who's untouchable?



    Who'd you likely trade, and for who(this can include picks also)?



    What free agents would you possibly pursue?




    After making the majority of these moves, who would you select in the draft, and for what reason?



    What would the final roster look like?

    Good thread idea we did something similar to this in the Bulls board, and it was very successful. Anyway, if I was this teams general managers no one, and I mean no one is untouchable. For the right price everyone can go with the hardest to get traded being Dre. Guys I would probably go all out trying to trade are Steven Hunter, Kyle Korver, and probably anyone else I can.

    Alright, people that I would target are Reggie Evans, Nene Hilario, Brevin Knight, Patterson if possible and Gerald Wallace if he hasn‘t signed an extension yet. I would also go ahead and pull the trigger on an AI for Kevin Garnett deal. I would try to get Minnesota to throw in Trenton Hassel as well for his defensive ability. I would go ahead and resign Willie Green to a new contract as well.

    Then in the draft I would use the draft pick, and possibly Kyle Korver to move up in the draft a couple spots depending where we land, and draft Randy Foye. After this my roster would look something like:

    PG- Randy Foye/ Brevin Knight/ Willie Green
    SG- Andre Iguodala/ Willie Green/ Randy Foye
    SF- Kevin Garnett/ Gerald Wallace/ Trenton Hassel
    PF- Chris Webber/ Reggie Evans/ Kevin Garnett
    C- Samuel Dalembert/ Nene Hilario/ Steven Hunter (if not traded)

    I think we need to build this team around defense, and most of the guys who would then be on this roster excel defensively, outside of Webber, most are at least solid. One thing the roster might lack is outside shooting which is something that could easily be addressed, but with Webber’s passing ability and the strength in the front court it would be a very affective team.

    Who's untouchable?
    Allen Iverson. In the beginning of the season I have been saying trade him trade him trade him. I thought about it. He doesnt want to go, so the franchise wont let him go. All the Sixers need to do is move away from building shooters around Iverson, and get good role players.

    Who'd you likely trade, and for who(this can include picks also)?

    I would offer Atlanta Steven Hunter and Chris Webber, in a sign and trade of Al Harrington and Zaza Pachulia. All contracts would probally end up matched, Harrington might go for max.

    What free agents would you possibly pursue?

    Tons of FAs availble, if not resigned.
    Sixers have three FAs spots to fill with LLE, MLE, and a Trade Exception

    Reggie Evans for MLE
    Pollard, Wilcox, or Fizar for LLE
    Fred Jones or Bonzi Wells with TE

    Out of our FAs only resign Salmons and Green for Cheap

    After making the majority of these moves, who would you select in the draft, and for what reason?

    I would try to either use the LLE to sign a banger cheap, or trade it away with the our pick and move up to around 9-11. Once we got their we should draft Patrick O'Bryant

    What would the final roster look like?

    PG: Iverson/Ollie/Salmons
    SG: Jones or Wells/Green
    SF: Iguodala/Kover/Harrington
    PF: Harrington/Evans/Fizar
    C: Dalembert/Zaza/Patrick O'bryant

    That would be sick. But, I think Gerald Wallace would want to start, so I'm not sure how that would work out. But, it's just an idea.

    nobody is untouchable. everyone can get traded if the deal is right. that includes AI, iguodala, and obviously chris webber.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Who'd you likely trade, and for who(this can include picks also)?</div>

    the player i will look to trade for the most is chris webber. i heard that the knicks had some interest in him, so id give them a call and work something out for some expiring contracts, which they have plenty. the ideal trade i will look towards for webber is a young talented player. (JR Smith?) but i doubt that can be done

    i will also put iverson on the block and see what trades i can get in return. the best situation for AI is probably to the bulls, who are loaded with young talent. i would also see if i can work out a trade with the celtics, but they are in our division, and i wouldnt want to face them 50 times a year.

    (obviously im trying to rebuild)

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">What free agents would you possibly pursue?</div>

    defensive minded players. we need tough guys who arent afraid of contact and who play 110% night in and night out. we obviously need a lot of rebounding help, so someone like reggie evans would be perfect.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After making the majority of these moves, who would you select in the draft, and for what reason?</div>

    with our first, i would love to get a guy like sheldon williams. he plays with heart and isnt afraid to bang down low. if he some how falls to us, i would be extremely happy. if not, i will probably take a point guard like marcus williams or rodney carney.

    Who's untouchable?
    Iggy and AI


    Who'd you likely trade, and for who(this can include picks also)?

    I would trade away C-WEBB 100% in the off-season. A perfect trade would be to the New York Knicks, possibly for Q-Rich and a filler, or even Jalen Rose and Nate Robinson.

    I would than trade Salmons and attempt to move up the draft.

    What free agents would you possibly pursue?

    Brevin Knight (great passer)


    After making the majority of these moves, who would you select in the draft, and for what reason?
    Tyrus Thomas or LeMarcus Aldridge (Big mans who have a great future (IMO) and will replace C-webb


    What would the final roster look like?

    Either:
    Dalembert
    Thomas
    Q-Rich
    Iggy
    AI

    or

    Dalembert
    Aldridge
    Iggy
    AI
    brevin Knight
