    This is news in hiding, it seems that Billy is searching for a new point guard. This could be good news, as it might mean that he is shopping Eric around, very good.

    I’m not in favor of this. I still don’t think having a backcourt duo that consists of players standing under 6 Feet tall will work. O'Brien already stated that it wouldn't work, so I don't know what the sudden change of heart is all about.

    I don't see Jameer playing for Philly for another 3-4 years as Orlando seems to keep him for the future and other teams can only get him in trades with superstars as a filler or get him from FA pool.Imo the best chance to get him is after his contract expires.(3 years?)
