    i read on espn.com today that the sixers were in talks with the bulls.

    Sixers get
    Jerome Williams
    Bulls Get
    Aaron McKie


    Good idea?

    The Bulls already have young talented guards already. Guys like Jamal Crawford, Kirk Hinrich, and Jay Williams when he comes back. If Chicago get McKie, how many minutes will he play? Where will he fit into the Bulls offense?

    Dont like it for the sixers, over the years Aaron Mckie has been there sixth man & he is still a big key for the sixers off the bench. I guess the sixers want to bring in a player that will lift the energy of the team. And do some work on the glass but I think Mckie is such a key for the sixers success.

    Pointless really. If Philly want to make a trade, it needs to be a big one. They are currently a team going nowhere (I know, I support one too) and need a major reshuffle if they're going to get out of this rut.

    I agree and I disagree. I think if the Sixers can trade people like DC, Snow, Mckie and even Kenny Thomas. We can get some real good role players, that can do those little things, that the Sixers need to win games. Someone like Jerome Williams would help. Although I wouldnt trade him for McKie. But having him on the team would help. He hustles like crazy, he brings alot of energy, he's just as good as a rebounder likeThomas etc...

    I suppose Jerome Williams might be a good addition to the Sixer's roster. This would be hard to choose who got the better of the trade. Is there a link?

    He dosent need to have a BIG IMPACT. He would be good for those little things that Philly needs like ENERGY. He's the type of player who motivates everyone and gets everyone jumpy and excied with a hard dunk, hustle play's, big blocks etc... We also know, Williams is a good defensive player. So thats another help. So I think having him on the team would help.

    Very true, but often a guy like that may trick you into overpaying for him with what he birngs to the floor. Hustle is one thing, but trading talent away for hustle can sometimes leave you shorthanded. However, with McKie, gone, it may open up time for Salmons.

    Iverson has been mad at his teammates for not hustling and playing hard, and JYD hustles and plays very hard, he gives everything he has. I'm not sure if i want to trade JYD, but we need some shooting.

    Philly does not need energy. Philly needs someone to lead them in the right direction, Allen and Coach Ayers tried to do this but nothing has happened. Coach got fired, because other guys wouldn't step up, and seems as if Allen's speech had no effect.

    Philly's team is pretty talented, we have a guy that can bring in 30 points a game, a guy that can get 20 points a game, a very talented floor leader, deadly three point shooters, and a future defensive monster. What we currently lack obviously is defense, and teamwork. We need to pull together as a team, the way that the 00-01 roster did.

    This trade seems rather pointless, why would the Bulls want Aaron, sure he is a veteran and would provide great leadership to a young team, but they would have him riding the bench, for the most part of the game. What the Bulls need is a veteran, but one with far greater talent than Aaron.

    OT: Could you please provide a link.
