O'Brien wants players who won't be afraid to fire from long distance.

"That type of team is the type we are going in the direction of."</div> Personally I don't like this. To go from an inside shooting team with the likes of Iverson, Dalembert, and Snow to an outside shooting one is not the smoothest of transistion, and I do not think it will hold up for too long. He mentiones that he wants to point guard to be more aggressive, take more shots, attack the defense, in Iverson he'll have that. As far as three poiont shooting goes with Iverson, it's not the prettiest sight.
im glad to see that snow is kinda happy about leaving...im not happy...wish he would have stayed..and when he says Hall of Famer he is referring to Iverson right?? i think we could have gotten better players for snow..because snow is a good solid PG hardly ever turned the ball over..he just let AI turn it over :-(...Iversons 3pt shot has been declining..he used to be decent from there...do you think the sleeve effects his shooting or what?
The success of the Sixers is going to depend on their defense..... as usual. With the players the Sixers have, they are not going to suddenly become a 130 pts/game team just because they shoot the 3 more often. They will score around 100 and win on defense. Business as usual.
That's good, I'm happy as well to see him being understandable about the whole situation. He is a true PG and he has did a good job here all those years and eventually I think he is going to slide into the starting spot on the Cavs. Hey, from passing to AI and now to LB. He is going to have a ball throwing opps to Lebron, and the kick out 3ball to Luke Jackson. Paul Silas is a good quality caoch and will like Snow and will definitely find a spot for him. Good Luck Eric, Thanks for the hard work!!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Iversons 3pt shot has been declining..he used to be decent from there...</div> Yeah, I remember when that guy had a dagger. Now I don't really know what's up with him, he's not playing like the real AI.
Of course Glenn is going to be back. Until recently we hadn't known if he was going to be traded, and it seemed to me that everyone was fine with that, since noone spoke out about it. The best thing now is that we wait until his and Todd's contracts run out next season, and we clear even more cap space, allowing us to sign a big name player.
