<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font color=""Red"">Glendon, Toronto: Hi there Mr. King. I would like to know what you think about your current situation on the draft? What pick do you think you'll earn in this year's lottery and how will that help your situation? </font> Billy King: We think we'll be at 13 and with some luck we can move up. I think we can get a good player at 13 or higher. <font color=""red"">South Philly: Who do you prefer as the premier starting center for next year's season: Dalembert or Hunter? </font> Billy King: They have to earn it in training camp. We won't have any preconceived plans about who is the starter. <font color=""red"">William, Charleston, WV: Will you try to obtain a second round pick since Cleveland now has ours? </font> Billy King: There's a good chance we'll look to acquire one. <font color=""red"">Ray (Vienna): There haven't been any huge changes on the team last season. What do you like best about this team? </font> Billy King: I thought we could score the ball pretty good last year, but going into next season I think we need to improve defensively. <font color=""red"">Malcolm: What are your plans on Louis Williams? A lot of us fans would like to see him play more. </font> Billy King: Louis is going to get an opportunity in the Summer League this year and if he earns it, he'll get on the court more next season. <font color=""red"">James - Philadelphia: Is any one on the Sixers untouchable this offseason? </font> Billy King: Going into the offseason, I'm looking to make our team better, and I'm not looking to trade any specific player, but our ultimate goal is to win. <font color=""red"">Jason Bear DE: Are you looking to re-sign Salmons at the moment or are negotiations still in the works? </font> Billy King: Can't start negotiating until July 1. <font color=""red"">Raphael (Hamburg): Hello Mr. King! The draft is coming. What kind of player are you looking for this year? </font> Billy King: Mainly we just want to get the best player, we're not focusing on any one position. <font color=""red"">Jerry (Lancaster, PA): Billy, anyone that your eyeing up in the draft? What do you think about Gerry McNamara, a 2 hour drive from scranton means bus loads every night! </font> Billy King: Ha-ha (Laughing) We're just starting in that process, there are lots of great players out there and we will work hard to try and get the best guy available when it's our turn to pick. <font color=""red"">Arthur (Manila): Sir King, I must say of the 10 years that you have been in the organization you have done a great job of continuing the proud tradition of the Sixers franchise. May i ask of what you think Andre Iguodala needs to work on this summer for his development as a player? </font> Billy King: Andre can continue to work on his jump shot. The biggest thing I've told Andre, is to be more aggressive offensively. <font color=""red"">Jim (philly): Do you think Iggy was robbed in the dunk contest? </font> Billy King: Ha-ha (Laughing) Yes. <font color=""red"">Blaine, Philly Baby!: Hi, what percent of the returning Sixers from the 05-06 team are locked-in to come into the 06-07 season? </font> Billy King: We currently have eight players under contract for next season. <font color=""red"">David: What do you think is the reason the Sixers sort of fell apart after the all star break, allowing the Bulls to steal their playoff spot? </font> Billy King: I think after the tough loss against Indiana, and then Boston and Denver, we never recovered after losing those close ballgames. <font color=""red"">Paul (Santa Fe): During your time with the team, what do you think was your favorite Sixers moment? </font> Billy King: Favorite Sixers moment was going to the NBA Finals. <font color=""red"">Eddie Calzone: Is there any specific position that you are trying to improve or any specific free agents that you are intrested in adding to the Sixers for next season? </font> Billy King: I'd like to add another athletic swingman. <font color=""red"">mike (philly): Hey Mr. King, as shown during the playoffs the east is on the rise, after not making the playoffs this year and have salary cap issues how do you plan to get back into the elite next year? </font> Billy King: You can do it via trades, the draft and you have to get a little lucky. <font color=""red"">Paul (Philly): Do you think we will ever figure out what style we would like to play? Grind it out on D, Fast break, or half court sets? Seems like we have players that fit one style versus another. </font> Billy King: I think we're going to get back to solid defense and running when the opportunity presents itself. <font color=""red"">Linwood (Baltimore): Billy: When you addressed the fans last month about your plans for the 76ers last season, you weren't exactly clear as to what direction this team will take next year? Will this team be rebuilding or will this team be built to make the playoffs in the 2006-07 season? </font> Billy King: We're going to try and build a team that is competitive and plays hard every night, but the goal is always to make the playoffs and win a championship. Billy King: Thanks to the fans. Be patient, we will work as hard as we can to build a team you can be proud of. </div> link: http://www.nba.com/sixers/news/billy_king_...ipt_060518.html pretty interesting read
If King gets a second round pick, and drafts Dee brown or Darius Washington I will personally go to his office, and worship the ground he walks on.
We'll see..... The Q&A was pretty generic though. Mr.Queen better do something with this team. He has a lot of work to do.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">If King gets a second round pick, and drafts Dee brown or Darius Washington I will personally go to his office, and worship the ground he walks on.</div> Yep. And yall better quote me when he does too.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">If King gets a second round pick, and drafts Dee brown or Darius Washington I will personally go to his office, and worship the ground he walks on.</div> yep. then we will still miss the playoffs next season and possibly lose our first rounder next year.
Pshhh @ the chat. Like Billy would even give HINTS about what he would do. I wouldn't be surprised if that was <u>NOT</u> him. We would never know.
^lol. But I dunno, I bet hundreds of fans sent the question of "Will AI be gone next season?" or other burning questions directed at Queen, but he would just say, "We have to sit down and talk..."
At least Jim O'Brien was honest when he told us what he was going to do. I hate Queen, she's lying to us. WEAK ASS GIRL.
