I`m really glad the 76ers signed Brian Skinner back, he`s way more aggresive than Blount or Doleac etc. But how do you think Brian Skinner will impact this team in 04-05?
I think he'll fit in nicely, had actually did a terrific job when he was here before. He has way more philly toughness than Blount anyway.
Yeah he wasnt half bad from what I remeber of him,hopefully he will give us a lot of energy off the bench because thats what we need from him.
He'll make a significant impact. I'd like to see him, Thomas and Dalembert on the court at the same time during a game. You got to bangers and a swat waiting to happen.
I don't think he will live up to the expectations. He had a terrific season last year by his standards. But in general it's not that great. And remember he was starting; now that he will most likely come off the bench I doubt he will have such an impact. So we can't really jump to any conclusions. But you never know, now that his confidence level supposedly increased last time he's been here he probably won't let us down. Only time can tell. BTW what's with the, "he did a terrific job when he was here before...”? From what I recall he didn't really do anything for us.
So will Skinner be starting over Dalembert? I surely would rather have Dalembert starting he's a better shot blocker and he's just shown more potential and talent than Skinner.

There is no question whether Samuel Dalembert will be starting over Brian Skinner. It would be incredibly stupid if Skinner did start over Dalembart. And btw Brian Skinner is getting paid way too much. I just realized that he has a five-year $25 Million contract; the guy is getting paid about $5 Million per year. This is the same amount that Blount demanded! They should have signed him to a five-year $15 Million at least.
