    He still has that ankle tendinitis thingy. He ahs said he's dissapointed in not having been traded like he wanted to be since knowing he's not starting. He said something like "the sixers didn't hold up their end of the bargain". WTF, is this guy serious!? He better come back and just shut up and play, don't complain, and most of all don't wreck the chemistry that we're starting to form here. I'd like to just get rid of the bum myself.

    To be fair to big dog, the Sixers did promise to either trade him or waive him before he came off the IR. Basically 5 games into the season, so far they have done neither. He wants out just as much as the Sixers want him gone. I can understand his frustration.

    i understand what your sayin, but why just release someone who can give you about 10 mill+ cap relief at the end of the season. Also, they woulnd't get anything in return by releasing him, i want the sixers to get something for him, but i just can't stnad his constant complaining, he's a whiny lil spoiled brat who isn't a leader, doesn't know how to play defense, and is a cancer wherever he's been

    Did you notice what he ended his interview saying ???

    "I am great"

    Ridiculous ... He just does not get it.
    He can shoot. Big Deal. So can many others.
    If he would be willing to work hard on defense he could play.
    As it is ... so long ...

    I'm surprised by the hold up. Philly should just trade him to a team seeking salary relief. I know many teams will jump at a chance for 14 million. Atlanta got rid of Rasheed Wallace for salary relief. Big Dog should drae some interest.

    Even though Robinson isnt having the best attitude about his siutation, him coming off the injured list is going to help us more then hurt us.

    Right now it seems the Sixers are stuggling to score, and thats what Glenn does best, if he can give us around 15+ points a night then it would help us a lot.

    As for a trade goes who knows what will happen, it seems that teams want him, but wont trade anything that will benifit the Sixers and thats why no deals have gone down.I would like to see him just play out the season, you never know how he will perform until you give him an oppurtonity to play, even if he doesnt play like we want him two, he will be gone and we will have more cap space in the offseason.
