Robinson & Korver I know we want to get rid of Glenn right away, some say it's beacuse he has started to be injury prone, some say to clear cap space, and some say it's because they want a different player in exchange for him. Do we ever stop and consider other alternatives though? Seeing as the Mavericks are clearly not interested in a trade with us because we won't give up some of our stronger younger players, and others are afraid to take him on, I propose something different. I propose that we get rid of him near the trade deadline in February. By that time he should be more valuable given if he does not go down to an injury. With Allen playing the point right now, he should be able to better compliment him, as Allen will be taking less shots, and will be on the dishing end instead of him feeding Allen the ball. Given his new role as an assistant to Allen, his trade value could increase. With him being on the trade market at that time we could include a younger player that we feel has not expanded his role as was expected of him. The only player in my mind being this, is Kyle Korver. I really don't see him getting much time next season, as there will be enough perimeter shooters on the floor with Green, Allen, Robinson; and Kenny being able to hit the somewhat, open shot at times. He also does not provide anything as of right now, other than his beyond the arc shooting. I also do not want to risk our futures by keeping him around and trying to develop him. You might be asking who would take Korver, but I think a lot of teams might. Right now, that is what the Mavericks want, one of the younger players being Green, Korver, Iguodale, or Dalembert. The last three guys are too valuable IMO at this time. Your thoughts...
I think it would be a huge gamble if they wait till the deadline to trade glenn robinson. Right now they may be able to get a decent trade for him. If he goes down with an injury in the early part of the season like he has done his last year in atlanta and this year in philly. The sixers will be stuck with there version of grant hill. Here is a purposal I would be intrested in. A trade to bring stack back to philly. He would also be a gamble givin his past injuries, but the mavs would be quick to do it since they wouldnt be losing a key peace of there team. Then we have him for a year if he stays healthy he is a huge peace of the team. If not I believe he is approching the end of his contract last year this year if I am correct since he signed a 2 year extension with the wiz when jordan retired. This would give the sixers cap room to make a big signing.
I dont think a Glenn Robinson deal is going to happen this summer..so are only choice is to give him another chance,he is probally one of the worst defenders in the leauge but he can stilll hit a 15 foot jump shot with consistantcy and he can also hit the three, thats sounds like a Jim obrien type of player and I think Billy Kings descions have a lot to do with Obrien. Maybe if we are lucky Big Dogg can redeem himself next season by averaging a few more points because thats the only way he will really contribute to the Sixers.
I think this would work..but i would rather try and get a big player in the offseason rather then waiting on Grob to get hurt or something..but if we do wait he could be doing awesome and have some good stats for us and his value would sky rockett..then we might be able to trade him and someone even though im not to fond of the idea to get rid of korver..maybe...salmons? or throw DC in...as long as we could get another big name player...im not sure..billy king has strange ways going about trades and he tends to wait to long to pull the trigger on trades and i dont think he is that good of a GM IMO...we need the other dude back..i cant remember his name..he was pretty good though.
Yeah your talking about Pat Croce he wasnt really the Sixers GM but he helped out with descions and was a cool guy.
hmmmm a little too risky for my taste. I doubt anyone wants Glenn. The BUcks were trying to get rid of him so bad and they gave him to us. Now were going to be stuck with him until his contract runs out.

The Knicks got Van Horn, Minny got Spree, ATL got Terrell Brandon's contract, Philly got big Dog. Anyway, I can see what Sasha is talking about Glenn Robinson's trade value could possibly be higher at the trade deadline. Teams by that time know how their rosters are going to be for their run at the playoffs. And a team that lacks offense and may need some more scoring for their run to & in the playoffs, might be willing to scarfice something in the future as part of a deal(like a good future draft pick or a young player who needs some seasoning) in order to rent a big time scorer like Robinson to help fill their void. And give them a better chance in the playoffs.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Iron Man:</div><div class="quote_post">No, the Hawks gave Glenn to us, remember?</div> lol my bad forgot about his hawk season and when they shipped him to us. lol I feel like a total dumbass now I just remember the Bucks doing everything they could to get rid of him
i really think we shud wait till the deadline to trade him because hes been playing good his whole career until this season, whihch he was injuried. wehn hes healthy he can avergae 18-20 points.hes really not as bad as eeverbody thinks, i think everybody just remembers the 5 points games he has lsat season because of his injuries, but he also had a lotta games when he scored like 20 in the first half and then nothing in the second cuz ai was taking the shots or he was in foul trouble. if he continues to perform like last season then its def time to trade him
Average 18-20 points on a consistant basis, what are you thinking. The guy is too slow and doesn't have the work ethic he once had, sort of. If anything, he is now able to put up 12-15 points per game. He has lost his touch as a scorer that he once had in Milwaukee, and is now a more proclaimed role player.

I still believe he's capable of averaging 20 PPG. Yes, he is slow and has poor work ethic, but regardless of that matter, he's still has one of the best perimeter games in the league today. Whether he remains in one spot and waits to receive the ball, the fact teams that he will most likely drain the shot.

He will still start, but because of his past injuries and the depth at that position he probable wont play 30-35 minutes a game for the sixers. I see that o' brien will give korver alot of minutes and salmons deserves it and iggy is just gona get minutes because he is a lottery pick and the fans like him.
