You've got to be kidding me but I just found this at InsideHoops.com <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"One trade possibility for the Bulls this week could be the 76ers and their No. 9 pick. General manager Billy King, a former Dookie, is said to be anxious to move up for Luol Deng. The Bulls could exchange picks and get center Samuel Dalembert in a package that includes Tyson Chandler. That would open the door to a trade of Eddy Curry and a major remaking of a more athletic, hard-working team in the image of general manager John Paxson."</div> Full Story. If this happens, Billy King has got to go.
WOW! Dalembert is a great future investment. Houses will burn in Philly if this trade happens. Man, it's really not worth it, Dalembert really is a great investment. I can't believe it, what a stupid trade from Philly's standpoint. Dalembert has such potential, he is an instant spark and I find him to be one of the soon-to-be elite centers. If this happens, King will be assasinated in a matter of minutes afterwards.
Not worth it dalembert is the sixers future. He made a huge jump as a permeir shot blocker last season. He had a couple huge offensive games. He showed everyone that he will be a big defensive persence in the nba in the future they should not trade him. I think chandler is great but he is a free agent after next season and has yet to prove anything.
i read about this on sixertalk..my first reaction was wtf?.....but i wouldnt mind having deng on the sixers either..buti think we are gonna need sammy..
Man if this trade were to happen I would be PISSED,Dalembert was one of the few positives in the Sixers 03-04 season if Billy Kind traded that than I dont know what I'd do.
King really scares me around this time every year, anyone else? You can never know what is going on in this guys head, it sucks. He is strictly buisness like he should be, but if he trades Dalembert he better be riding around in a bullet-proof vehicle because Sammie was probably the only positive thing from last season. PS - Thanks for scaring us with that article, Erin.
No need to get worry. At first I was surprised as everyone else in here. But Billy King isn't that dumb. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">General manager Billy King, a former Dookie, is said to be anxious to move up for Luol Deng. The Bulls could exchange picks and get center Samuel Dalembert in a package that includes Tyson Chandler.</div> As you can see Billy King wants to move up in the Draft. However, the Bulls proposed to exchange picks (which would allow the Sixers to move up in the draft) IF Billy King would give Samuel Dalembart up. Now I don't think Billy is that desperate.
This trade seems bad but getting Deng isn't so bad and actually Tyson Chandler can play!He averaged around 14-18 ppg and 10+ rpg at some point of the season but then he started to get fewer minutes and his stats decreased but if you watch Dalembert's stats and minutes per game you see he is better than Chandler.Getting Deng is the only good thing about this trade but trading problable all-star in years to come is plain wrong. I say if they make this trade they should give Robinson instead of Dalembert,imo Chi-town needs a SF more than a C.
As a Bulls fan I want to keep Curry, I love Sammy D, but on the Bulls? We should keep Curry and Chandler, give them a chance to play in a steady environment before we just let them go, we have let go of just too many good players
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Meanwhile, Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun told a Connecticut newspaper that he wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls pick Ben Gordon at No. 3. "I keep getting calls from GMs saying what an incredible athlete he is," he said. "And Chicago is a team that seems to have the most interest." </div> If they make the trade after the draft then I wouldn't be so happy,I would really like to see Ben Gordon in Philly (see the sig) but imo Luol Deng is a better player than Ben Gordon.

Samuel for life. Philly needs to keep samuel. If it wasn't for him will would have lost way more games. Samuel needs to be with philly for life. King knows what is good.
Samuel Dalembert is a up and coming star if he was traded Chicago would be set and Billy King would be fired. Luol Deng is a great player but is it worth packing and shipping a proven player that has more athleticism than anyone in the NBA his size?? I say NO.
