<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers added depth to their frontcourt Friday by signing 11-year veteran Alan Henderson. Henderson, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward/center, has averaged 8.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 614 career games (215 starts) for three different teams. Last season with Cleveland, he averaged 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 51 games. The Sixers also signed rookie free agent forward Ivan McFarlin. McFarlin, out of Oklahoma State, played professionally in France last season. He averaged 9.2 points and 9.7 rebounds in six games on the Sixers 2006 summer league team. </div> <div align="center">http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2579441</div> I always respected Henderson and his game. For his age, he still shows alot of hustle. I was starting to wonder if BK was going to make any summer deals at all.
Finally BK does SOMETHING, while not real significant..it's something. Henderson still has some gas left in the tank..and he can hustle his butt off for his age, Like TSF said. He'll be a reasonable vetran backup. McFarlin seemed to be a BEAST on the boards during the summer..and unlike James Thomas..actually has some offense..it'll be interesting to see if he makes the roster.
It's a decent signing, but nothing big. Henderson is a good player, and will be a good locker room leader for us. From what I have heard, McFarlin was a terrific rebounder in the summer leagues, so hopefully he will give us some toughness. But none of these signings really push us to the top. Billy King still gets an F for this off season
This, without a doubt, will get us back into the playoffs and back to contending for the finals. The missing pieces, great job BK.[/sarcasm]
