I see what Billy is going to do. He will try and lure in a big name players seeing as we have 18 players on our roster now, and two are free agents. If they decide to go somewhere else, we will have 16, meaning we would need to put 4 on the IL. Very smart thinking, and yeah I was a bit in schock when I first read it, because it's two scrubs for a starting point guard. He was going to trade Snow anyhow, and trying to get a big name player with Snow's huge contract, and some other guys thrown in is a cancer for any team in the league. So he is not done this offseason, there are many more trades to go around. Sit and grab a beer people, it's gonna be fun offseason.
Phil Jasner just said on Daily News Live that Billy is looking to make another deal with another team and they've been talking "regularly" about it. He didn't say what team or what player and he made it sound like that's the final deal that will be made during the offseason.
I hope that the next trade will happen soon..I can't wait! Maybe we are taking part from the Vince Carter sweepstakes? There are rumors about VC going to NY for Shandon Anderson,Othella Harrington and Kurt Thomas. Maybe we could offer Ollie,Brown,Robinson and someone for VC and someone. (Raptors fans I apologise(spelling?) if I hurt your feelings )

Also, if we don't make any trades this offseason (very unlikely) we will have 19 million in cap space due next season, this ties in with McCulloch's, and Robinson's salaries also. Sounds nice, wish we could keep it, but as Martin said we could go for Carter, maybe even Walker, or Wally. Who knows...
Well I am really shocked,I have respect for Kedrick because he went to a community college where I live mainly plus he has a chance to make it some day,but KO is a bum,if King was making this move to try and get some one else then this better be good. So in other words this trade was made to clear some cap space?

That NBA Girl, I've never seen you so upset like this. I wouldn't worry that much because this will definitely let us know what Willie Green is capable of and I think it will turn out pretty good after all.

The times that I met him after games, he was always one of the nicest guys. After a tough loss, he'd always make sure he'd stop and sign autographs for every single person there. And the things he did with the community in Philadelphia were great. That's one of the other reasons why I am upset. He'll be missed.

If we're gonna trade Carter away to Philly, Ivy's definitely going to have to be part of the deal.
We don't want any part of VC. He plays like a whipped dog. Head down. I have never seen him do anything besides jog. He is a loser.

So in other words this trade was made to clear some cap space?</div> No. The cap space was one of the main reason, but no the main reason. I think the main reason was because Billy has something up his sleeve, he wants another player to compliment Allen, someone that would work well with him, but is a star already by himself. Allen throughout his career has had only role players at his side, never a big name player, and Billy wants to finally change that. I am sincerely looking forward to the rest of the offseason, this season in Philadelphia has had a strong but shocking movement so far. I think what happened is they got scared from last season, Allen going down, us not reaching the playoffs. So he want to be insured very much for this season. Trades involving cap space cleanup were a must, and will continue on with McCulloch's and Glenn's contracts after this season. We have a handful of youngsters that might be able to blossom and carry this team when Allen leaves, and that's what Billy is planning for, as well as good play in the present. Shaking things up, and working with a new coach's sytem, and laying down a new foundation just might be one of the better things to happen to a Philadelphia sports team in a while.
>>>> but Kedrick Brown? I don`t think AI will be good friends. Why would you think that ? Is that based on something, or is it just a comment out of nowhere ?
