Who Might The Sixers Target In The NBA Draft?
76ers, BREAKING NEWS, News Thursday, June 28th, 2012
The rumors are flying every where and moves are being made. It’s NBA Draft Time!
We have Dwight Howard and D-Will possibly going to Houston. Houston has loaded up on draft picks to make a run at Howard. Nash might be going to Knicks. Don’t know why he would want to go there but whatever. There was even a false report on the internet that Melo got traded. Now, that would have been funny. People already have Ray Allen in a Heat jersey. The Bobcats and Pistons made a trade that might be the oddest trade ever. Warriors are rumored to be targeting Wilson Chandler for their seventh pick. Ummm, OK then. Seriously, what are some of these GM’s thinking? The one thing that scares me about Rod Thorn is that he said, there is a 50% chance or more that Hawes , Iggy and Lou-Will come back. Well, I did not want to hear that. I am going to pretend that I didn’t. That leads me right into the biggest rumor I heard and it involves our Sixers.
ESPN on Sirius radio mention that there is a rumor that the Lakers would send Bynum to the Sixers for Iggy, Holiday, and the 15th pick. Well, then. If this is true that would be the one major move that the fans are looking for. The Lakers need a point guard and they are looking to get younger as well. This would give the Sixers a legitimate big- man that they have not had since Barkley. Well, really Moses Malone.
Would the Sixers then take a run at D-Will right after? They would have the money once they amnesty Brand. Or would they just slide Turner to the point. This trade would open up a lot of different options for them. This trade won’t likely happen though. The Lakers would be nuts to give up the best younger center in the league. Stranger things have happen though. This should be an entertaining draft tonight even with most of these rumors being wrong. The Sixers are also link to Jamal Crawford.
Let’s get away from fantasy land for a little bit and get in to the draft. If you did not like what Thorn had to say about the Sixers free-agents you are not going to like this. Thorn has also come out said that he does not envision the Sixers moving up. What a “Buzz Kill”. So let’s recap, not trading up and wanting to bring back everyone from your own free-agents. Way to use all of your options there Thorn. OK, fine. I am going to go with the Sixers staying at the 15th pick for now. Here is who I would target..
Terrence Jones, Power Forward from Kentucky. He is 6′-10′ 252 pounds. Jones can score from anywhere on the court and is a very good ball-handler. He is a big-time athlete. The knock on him is that he has an inconsistent jumper and needs to work on his low-post game. Here is a scouts take..
Perry Jones III, Power Forward from Baylor- He is 6′-11″ 234 pounds. Perry can really score and can flat-out run the floor. The knock on him is that he does not live up to his talents yet. Here is a scouts take..
Jerad Sullinger, Power Forward From Ohio State - He is 6′-9″ 268 pounds. He has a high basketball IQ. He is great at using his body down low and can play with his back to the basket. The knock him is that he is not the greatest athlete. He also has back issues. Here is a scouts take..
Terrence Ross, Small Forward From Washington- He is 6′-7″ 197 pounds. He is a great athlete. He can flat-out shoot the rock with range. The knock on him is that he needs to work on his ball-handling. He also needs to get stronger as well. Here is a scouts take..
If I had to rank them I would go Perry Jones, Sullinger, Terrence Jones then Terrence Ross. Perry Jones is a top five talent that has yet to put his game all together. If I where Thorn I would do anything that is possible to improve this team. Here is hoping that the Sixers/Thorn are really going to explore all of the avenues for this team. PLEASE!!

JH, HOW IS THIS A VERY, VERY GOOD PICKUP?!?!? HE’S ANOTHER MEDIOCRE SF, IN WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE 900 OF!!!!!! GTFO!!!! THIS IS ANOTHER SAM YOUNG, USELESS DEPTH MOVE, THAT MAKES US 0% BETTER!!!! NICK YOUNG IS A LATERAL MOVE, PERIOD!!!! ALBEIT A FEW INCHES TALLER!!!!!!!!!!! GTFO!!!!!!!
JON, PLEASE STOP WITH YOUR FANTASY, WANNA-BE, REPORTER BS!!!! WHERE THE F^#@ DID YOU HEAR, OR READ ARON SAYING THAT?!?!? NOWHERE!!!!! THEY ARE NOOOOOOOT GETTING DWIGHT HOWARD!!!!! STOP YOUR IDIOCY!!!!!!
IMO Dre, Evan and Thad may be traded, at this point i dont really see a need for them. They have Nick Young who is 6’7 at SG and Harkless and now DWright at SF. There are so many moving peices and potential for guys being moved by tmr. They are stocking up on guys so they can move others. Thats why theyre doing what there doing. Relax yourself Dcar, were all a little an antsy, but lets wait it out and see what they will do tmr and thur and during this free agency. This is a process. They cant become contenders over night can they? Maybe. There only a few pieces away
Dcar i dont make stuff up, i tell you guys either what i read or whats given to me from a inside sourc. Adam Aron said that the fans will have a better understanding what the direction of this team is by the 11th and maybe 12th, he said expect him and doug to talk to the media tmr and thurs. He didnt confirm a trade or signing but thats exactly what the man said. Im not gonna misquote or lie on anyone. Dcar, you have officially lost it guy.
YOU DIDN’T ANSWER ME!!!! WHERE DID YOU READ IT, OR HEAR IT, MR. INFORMATIVE?!? I LISTEN TO WIP ALL DAY, WATCH EVERY SPORT STATIONS, INCLUDING CSN, ESPN, & THE NBA NETWORK, & GO ON EVERY SPORT WEBSITE, AVAILABLE, & HEARD, NOR SEEN, ANYTHING!!!!! OF WHAT YOU SPEAK! YOU HAVE NO F^#@ING SOURCES!!! YOU OFFICIALLY LOST IT, A LOOOOONG TIME AGO, YOU @$$CLOWN! JUST STFU!!!!!
The heat agreed to terms with Rashard Lewis who gets the chance to play along with his former teammate with the Sonics and good friend Ray Allen and win a title together before they retire in the next few years.
Dcar you are being a bad boy, no source for you haha.. I dont reveal my sources, you just have to either see it when it happens or hear it from me.. And anyway why would i tell you any of them? I dont even like you haha! Whos the clown now writing in big letters, the mental hospital is calling your name freddie mitch
Paulman Trade Alert
Trade Iggy,Thadd Young, Steve Hawes,& Draft Pick Moultrie and 2 #1 Draft Picks to the Orlando Magic for Center Dwight Howard
Sixers opening Day Line-up
PG J Holiday
SG E Turner
SF N Young
PF L Allen
C D Howard
Bench will be Harkless,Donell Wright, Vucevic, and another PF and Guard will be added … Stay Tuned and you heard it here first…
Orlando adds in PG Jameer Nelson also.
As the beginning of the real FA at 1201 am looms, im beginning to think Dre doesnt get moved. I think Evan,Thad,Hawes, could all be traded but Dre may be a keeperfor his defensive prowess alone. They really love the guy, and since he has made the usa team they have been praising the guy saying all kinds of things, maybe to drive up the price for a trade, but they have been saying things like “hes going to be wearing the sixers #9 on his jersey for the olympics” and this and that. They may just keep him and trade other guys. And if you want Howard in philly and to potentially stay here, than you have to keep Dre bc Howard wants to play with Dre he is quoted as saying he did. So youd have to keep Dre here. I mean things can change bc heck its FA but i think the sixers want the cap space but i doubt they want Dre gone and will pull the trigger but again i could be dead wrong about this.
If you want howard you gotta give up both centers, hawes and Vuc, Evan and other Assets like Thad and picks but it will not be Dre, he wont be included in a deal for Howard. Thats my honest opinion, could be wrong.
Hart you have no inside sources not 1.
Man, espn is just reporting that 3team deal i alluded to like 6 hrs ago? haha the one involving dwight to la bynum to hou and picks going to orl… There is no refuting my skills now guys haha..
JH, you have ZERO sources & you still didn’t answer my questions, of where you heard Aron’s statements. You are a liar, a fool, & an embarrassment to yourself, & the people who spawned, your imbecilic @$$. The only skills you have, is to throw as much $#!T to the wall as you can, & if something comes remotely close, you say I told you so! You do nothing but read/ watch & repeat what you see/ hear. STFU, you stupid, waste of sperm. Grow up & get a life, you disgrace to humanity! Something is wrong with you, SERIOUSLY! Check yourself, into that Asylum, that you claim I’m in! I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU! REALLY!!!!
AGAIN! WE ARE NOT GETTING HOWARD!!!! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD!!! BRON-BRONS HEMMOROID!!!!
Come on JH…. go to Twitter and there were people reporting the Lakers/Rockets/Magic deal at the same time that you got the info from your “sources”. So yes, I refute your skills, because I have a twitter account too.
Hoopworld.com reported this at 6:17pm.
jon hart, anytime you have me routinely agreeing with Dcar, you’re clearly doing something aggregiously wrong. Grow up and get over yourself.
schill, hell, has officially frozen over, & pigs are flying! ROFL!!!!!
Lil BRON-BRON, I’m still waiting for you to answer my questions, of where you read & heard all of your spewage!!! & I’m still waiting for Aron & Collins statements to the fans, that you stated- ” Adam Aron said that the fans will have a better understanding what the direction of this team is by the 11th and maybe 12th, he said expect him and doug to talk to the media tmr and thurs.” Your BS quote, not mine. YOU HAVE BEEN PROVEN AGAIN, TO BE A FRAUD, A LIAR, A MORON, & FLAT OUT IMBECILIC, RETARTED, ATTENTION MONGER!!!!! DON’T EVER COMMENT ON THE 76ER’S AGAIN!
