Billy King Q&A <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">You recently made another move to trim the roster before training camp. What was the motivating factor behind waiving Buckner? Well, I think looking at the overall picture, with the roster we need for Jim, and looking at the depth of our roster, I didn?t see the opportunity for him to play this year. The willingness to negotiate a buyout with him, gives him an opportunity to go play, but also is a chance where we could save some money. I thought it was the best for both parties. What is Todd MacCulloch?s situation? Todd and I will sit down when he gets back from Seattle, probably in two weeks. I don?t expect Todd to play this year; I don?t think Todd expects to play this year. I think the meeting at that time will determine the outcome of his situation. Is there any move you made which you think will have an immediate impact? Honestly, the biggest move of impact was hiring Jim O?Brien. Because I think he?ll set the table for all these pieces that we made moves on. I think if you want to look at one key move, that was having Jim. What does Coach O?Brien bring to the organization, what attracted you to him? What attracted me is defense. When the rules changed, Boston adapted and played the best defense of anybody in the league. And I think his offensive style allows players freedom to do a little bit more offensively. It reminds me a little bit of Coach Krzyzewski at Duke because we always had it defensively. You are going to play one way and one way only. But offensively you had a lot more freedom. I think he?s going to figure out ways to make each player better because he knows if he can make each player better and successful, then the overall product will be better.</div> <div align="center">Q&A With Billy King</div> This Q&A is mainly about his thoughts for this upcoming season. He speaks on what influenced him to hire Jim O'Brien as the 76ers Head Coach to what type of role Andre Iguodala will have on this team. If you're a 76ers fan, I recommend you to read this.
Billy King cleared some things up with this Q&A. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> there were a game today, how would the starting line-up look to you? I would probably envision Allen [Iverson] at the point, Willie at the 2, Glenn [Robinson] at the 3, Kenny [Thomas] at the 4, and Sammy at the 5.</div>This was the projected line up,but there was some question at who would be starting at C,since Jim Obrien and King are on the same page iguess Sammy D will be starting.

It’s probably going to be at two positions. It’s going to be at the two/three position, and probably the five position. I think these will be the most battles for minutes.</div> but i guess if skinner's in better form than dalembert after training camp, might aswel let him play. good read, anyway.
