as you know, sammy, korver, and willie will all be free agents at the end of the season. who do you guys think that the sixers will resign? and do you guys think any of them will be good for a long term contract? in the off season, sammy will get plenty of offers. korver will too and so will willie. if they get offered tons of money to sign with another team, do you guys think it'll be worth it for the sixers to resign them? just wondering.
I would bet on us getting Sammy and Kyle back, but I'm not so sure about Willie. You can see how frusterated he is just in the way he plays. When he comes off the bench, he takes the shot himself every time he comes down the court. His shots aren't good ones either. However, when he starts, he proves himself to be more a team player capable of taking control of a situation. The problem is: with Iverson, he won't be getting those starting chances. If the Sixers were smart, they would have traded Willie before the deadline. I would bet that we could have gotten good value for him. Perhaps thrown him into a Vince Carter proposal? Oh well, though. Now we'll just lose him for nothing.
Well I`ll start with Willie. He hasn`t seen much action this season due to injuries and flat out coach O`Briens coaching plans. There has been talk that Green just doesn`t fit into any of the plays and OB like wants to build around Webber more and once again, Willie doesn`t fit into that. Willie is a great bench player and can come out and really shoot the ball when needed. He provides some depth and should help us much in the playoffs if we hold on to a seed. Kyle Korver has grown into one of Philly`s best loved athletes and as we all know, can really shoot the 3 ball. He has become much of a better defender and rebounder. Kyle loves this city and the city loves him, and what he has shown so far in his career, has proved that he can become a big part of the 76ers future. Sammy D has become a well-known Sixer also. We all know what he can do on the court with his explosive defense and great athleticism. Once again, Dalembert loves Philadelphia and looks like a great player for the future. In the end, Sammy and Kyle have shown much more than Green for the Sixers, and I think those 2 will be back for another season for us.

I doubt Korver is going anywhere; it's kind of obvious he likes things how they are. The 76ers know he is an important piece of the team so I'm sure it will be a priority to resign Kyle this off-season. If Samuel would have continued his path that he was going through at the beginning of the season I bet he would be looking a different direction rather then the 76ers this off-season. Eventually Sam came on latter during the season so I think he'll be fine to resign with us. The 76ers have made sure they show interest on keeping Dalembert, by refusing to involve him in any trades. Sam is a restricted free agent this summer so the only way he will leave the 76ers is if they let him go, or if they can't afford to keep him. As for Willie, I think there is a good chance he may want to relocate this off-season. Even though he has proven himself throughout this season O'Brien just doesn't even give him the chance to play which doesn't really make sense. Anyway if Willie left I'd actually be happy for him. Another team would probably use him wisely and I think he could be a great player in this league. To bad O'Brien can't spare him 5 minutes on a regular basis ever.

With Webber up top dishing and Willie slashing through the paint, it would have been a perfect combo. Yet, O'Brien doesn't utilize this enough and I don't remember one time that he played the two at same time. However, I would definitely be happy for him if he leaves to get to a better team. He's just not getting anywhere with Philadelphia right now and its just wasted talent. As for Dalembert and Korver, both are being utilized and its obvious they both love the city. Korver has a huge fanbase here now while many have already said Dalembert has a lot of potential so I really doubt Billy King would be stupid enough to let either of them go. Besides, it already looks like both of them would be part of the core of the team to be in the future with Iguodala.

I hope that Green will get a new team so he would play more minutes willie is grate when he plays 20-5+ mins. The coach barely even puts him on even last year he got more minutes and everything so i hope he gets a team were he will fit in or if the sixers get a new coach the keep him
