    I love Hunter, he's incredibly underrated. However, I don't see the sixers giving him up for e dubb...

    haha...yea, or while we're at it, lets ask for iguodala lol.

    hunter for e-will? i dont see that happening in this world. especially considering how well hunter played in sammy's absence. it will most likely be for something like a 2nd round draft pick, or maybe someone like james thomas. id be the farm on thomas

    I doubt you'd get him. Beyond that, he can't be traded until after December 15 due to having signed a contract recently. Maybe a couple of more likely scenario

    *
    Toronto Trade Breakdown 1

    Outgoing
    Eric Williams
    6-8 SF from Providence
    12.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.0 apg in 35.2 minutes

    Incoming
    John Salmons
    6-7 SG from Miami-Fla.
    4.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 2.0 apg in 17.1 minutes
    Change in team outlook: -8.5 ppg, -2.4 rpg, and 0.0 apg.
    Philadelphia Trade Breakdown

    <font color=""DarkGreen"">Successful Scenario</font>
    Due to Toronto and Philadelphia being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Toronto and Philadelphia had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out unless trade exceptions were used for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

    Toronto Trade Breakdown 2
    Outgoing
    Eric Williams

    Incoming
    Lee Nailon
    6-8 SF from Texas Christian
    14.2 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 1.6 apg in 29.7 minutes
    Change in team outlook: +1.6 ppg, -0.1 rpg, and -0.4 apg.

    All things being equal, I'm not sure either of those guys are worth it given that Williams will be done this summer. Why give up his cap space now when you can likely use it to sign someone this summer

    Have fun..............

    I wouldn't mind it for Salmons, but again I don't think they'd be willing to give Salmons up.

    Sorry, dude. But there is no possible way the 6ers are goiving up Hunter 06's top center free agent for Williams.

    Plus that would leave us with no backup center.

    We are also not getting rid of Salmons because Cheeks is in love with him.

    Hey, the Raps always make great decisions. Maybe you guys could pull off a Slavik Randolph for Williams deal. lol

    I heard about this around last week on the RealGm boards, somebody said it was Kevin Ollie for Eric Williams.

    Yeah, more than likely any deal the Sixers make will involve shipping Kevin Ollie out. Hunter isn't going anywhere because we have no capable back-up center if we do trade him, and Salmons won't be traded unless we get a starting SF in return.

    Apparently, no one outside of the Sixers fans knows how underrated he is. He's stepped up from the bench time and time again to give the team a boost from the pine. Salmons' pretty consistent if given the minutes and has gotten double digit points for the most part in every game he's played. Obviously, his numbers fluctuate with his minutes and coming off the bench and thats probably why his point average isn't above ten. Plus, he's really smart with his shot selection and most of the time doesn't settle for jumpers but instead goes aggressive and drives it in.

    first of all, we arent trading away hunter because if we do, look at who's going to back up sammy. araujo? um.... no thanks. also, we're not giving away louis williams, the next AI. eric williams for a second rounder sounds good.

    Correct.

    I don't even want Eric Williams, so if we just find a taker, that's find with me as long as we don't take back a scrub in return with a multi year contract back in return.

    The best the Raps could get for Williams is Kevin Ollie, James Thomas or a 2nd Round Pick. If you go higher than that the next guy would be Lee Nailon, although that is not likely. As for Salmons and Hunter, the Raps wouldn't be able to touch them if they were 5ft away and they were equipped with a 10ft pole, well of course that's unless if Mike James gets thrown into the deal somehow. [​IMG] But that won't be happening.

    Eric Williams for a 2nd rounder would be more than fine with me.
