    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Perhaps it would be sending Robinson and Corliss Williamson to Milwaukee for Keith Van Horn and Joe Smith. Maybe it would be getting rid of Kenny Thomas, who'd consider it Christmas the moment he was released from O'Brien's grasp.


    The plummeting Minnesota Timberwolves are willing to give up Latrell Sprewell, but only if a few youngsters - including Willie Green - are part of the package, which isn't about to happen. Donyell Marshall still wants to leave Toronto to come to Philly, and Jalen Rose wouldn't mind playing alongside Iverson, either.


    All of this has been talked about. Who knows what will happen? And at what cost?


    Well, it depends on how you look at the situation.


    Some might wonder why the Sixers would move anybody when they can wait until the end of the season and get their salary cap at $50 million, enabling them to re-sign some of their young players.


    Why sacrifice youth for immediate fixes that will do nothing but extend the season for a week or two at best?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"In an attempt to have more money available to re-sign star guard Michael Redd this summer, the Bucks are looking into the possibility of some trades. One of those deals could involve veteran forward Keith Van Horn, who will be owed $15.69 million next season. The Philadelphia 76ers, whom Van Horn played for during the 2002-2003 season, have expressed an interest in making a deal with the Bucks and would be more than willing to give up former Bucks forward Glenn Robinson." </div>

    Wow. I'm surprised to see so many people thinking that giving up Williamson would be a good idea.

    Idiots.

    if we get joe smith and keith van horn, we won't be able to have enough money at the end of the season to the get some good free agents, and we might not have enough money to resign all of our free agents. kvh has a rediculos contract. i don't want to see him or smith in philly. i also dont like the idea of giving away corliss or kenny for them. bottom line, don't do this trade.

    I just heard on CSN that an ESPN source said that one trade heating up is trading Robinson for Latrell Spreewell. What do you guys think?

    I would be ridiculously mad if we were to part away with Williamson. He is a key player on our team. Bench or start, he's a big part to this ball club, and I would be devastated if we lost him. However, it really depends on who we get for him. Depending on we may end up getting for him, I wouldn?t mind letting him go. But looking at the names that are being tossed around for Williamson such as Van Horn, I don't like what I'm seeing. Joe Smith is not bad, and I would love to have him hear, but Van Horn again? Come on, we can do better.

    Corliss is one of the better, if not the best players who comes out of the bench and does his things... he can come from the bench and score his 10-20 points that is a big factor for our team...
    If corliss would go it will be for a really big trade!!!

    The Sixers should go know were near Van Horn, no way! Corliss is a keeper for now, and I like the sounds of Spree in a Sixers uni. If we could get him, we would be a better team offensivly and you may not know it but Sprewell is actually a solid, scrappy defender when he wants to be. The only players that are worth trading though are Robinson, Skinner, and maybe Salmons in my opinion everyone else is a keeper.
