They've missed the boat on all the undrafted free agencts like Diawara and Moon. One could argue that they didn't stick with those guys long enough, although in retrospect, it isn't as if they've made it with another team.</p>

Would our replacement increase the chances that we take chances on young talent instead of the Malik's, Padgents, and Murry's, or is that really just up to megathron</p>

I don't know enough about the Nets front office. Is this a good or bad thing for the Sixers and Nets, respectively? And why?</p>

But I'm wondering more about how much of an improvement Stefanski is and if they were right to trust him with that job. And are you guys worried at all about letting him go to a division rival?</p>
We all know the real reason Stefanski is leaving. Two words: Jason Collins. Even the guy that drafted him can't stand watching him anymore. J.C. has the power to make people actually want to move to Philly. Now that's talent.
Mark Jackson might not be a bad idea, he was in serious consideration for Memphis Gm role or maybe Kiki Vandeweghe</p>
Boone and Williams on the court together...yes!</p> </p> <font size="1" color="#ff0000">I think you're looking for this </font> <font size="1">http://www.sportstwo.com/Thread/View/NBA/C.../2019115?page=4</font></p>
This just hit me... Jerry West for GM!!!! Thorn and West are best of friends and what more would any GM want more than bringing a great product to NYC? It would add more to his list ofprestigious accomplishments</p>
