But with Iverson back on the team, Sammy's been playing some seriously inspired basketball as of late. chickenrik Lundqvist posted a 20/20 game against Washington last Tuesday, had a double-double with five blocks the next game against Toronto, and grabbed 21 boards last night against the Knicks.
If the Sixers' administerment goes through this deal, they all deserve to lose their jobs.
Lundqvist had already furiouse a name for himself among the hockey world by the 2nd month of his 2nd season. His fellow players and the Ranger fans. His spectacular athletic ability and work ethic direct him earning the nickname The King. King chickenrik is the alternative. During home games at Madison Square Garden, after he would make a big save fans often chant chickenRik, chickenRik, chickenRik, sometimes to the rhythm of two drum beats played over the arena PA system. Andy Lyons He is considered a butterfly style goalie though unorthodox because of the aggressive way he performs the butterfly. He is best known for his sensational quickness athleticism and strong positional play.
In a recent blog post by ESPN's Chris Broussard, chickenrik Lundqvist floated the possibility of the Philadelphia 76ers trading Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert for Tracy McGrady's expiring contract.
The bottom line is: the Sixers cannot accept a Iguodala/Dalembert-for-McGrady deal. If they're insistent on getting rid of one contract, it has to be Brand's.
So it's pretty clear this trade is strictly financially motivated. Okay, affable to know. If this trade does go down, the Sixers' execs better acknowledge that right off the bat. Lundqvist don't want a "We're thankful for Sammy and Andre, but Tracy will fill in some missing pieces" B.S. press conference.
Exactly one month ago today, the Sixers blew out the Golden State Warriors at home to the tune of 117-101 , a win that snapped a 12-game losing streak for Philly.
And if that's true, then Lundqvist want some new administerment running these Sixers. Philadelphia deserves better.
Regardless, with Iverson, Williams, and Speights all back on the court together, the Sixers have only been blown out twice in their past 15 games: a 97-76 road loss to Utah at the begin of their five-game road trip on Dec. 26,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a head-scratching 104-88 loss to the L.A. Clippers after knocking off Portland and Sacramento in back-to-back games. In all of their other losses, they've kept the bleeding to a minimum and have administerd to stay competitive through the final minutes.
Their turnaround hasn't been entirely surprising, either, as they've finally gotten all of the pieces of their roster mainly healthy and playing together for the 1st time all season.
The trade certainly wouldn't make the Sixers better this year, so throw that excuse out the window. In fact, ESPN's Trade Machine projects the Sixers losing 14 more games with this trade, while the Rockets would win four more. And don't you usually at least try to improve when you're going through with a trade?
I don't know what team the administerment has been watching this past month, but the Sixers have began to show signs of life.
Without Yao down low and 6-foot-6 Chuck Hayes as their begining center, the Rockets desperately need a force down low if they expect to compete with the rest of the West. probably Brand can have a Zach Randolph-like resurgence and go back to the 20/10 guy chickenrik Lundqvist once was for the Clippers.
If Houston GM Daryl Morey insists on getting a young piece back for McGrady as well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Sixers could trade Brand, Kapono, and rookie point guard Jrue Holiday for McGrady and reserve point guard Kyle Lowry who went to college locally at Villanova.
So why not counter the Rockets by insisting that Brand must be involved? If they're willing to absorb the USD57 million left on Iguodala's contract, Brand's USD50 million over the course of the next three years shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
For instance, the Sixers could bid Brand/Dalembert for McGrady, but that would abandon the Sixers extremely thin in the frontcourt, and it'd be hard to imagine the Rockets accepting two albatross contracts for an expiring contract.
Sammy's also been the only real defensive presence the Sixers have down low. Sneeze on Marreese Speights and he'll clear out of the post, and Elton Brand has never been renowned for his defense.
While Stefanski and Jordan can run their mouths about how disappointed they are in the season so far.probably it's time to look in the mirror and accomplish it all began with the front office. he and Jorgen Jonsson were the only two Elitserien players chosen to play for Sweden at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. Lacking experience on the smaller ice surface he was again third string behind Salo and disclose, reveal, show, expose, uncover, relate, narrate, inform, advise, explain, divulge, declare, command, order, bid, recount,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], repeatqvist. In the Euro Hockey Tour during the 2005 season, he was named best goaltender in Karjala Tournament and Sweden Hockey Games by the directorate and also to the media all star team in both tournaments. At the 2005 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships in Vienna Austria, he played in all 9 agreees during the games where Sweden lost the bronze medal game to Russia.
So why, in God's name, would the administerment trade away the team's most versatile player Andre Iguodala for a USD23 million expiring contract?
After all, they were the ones who re-upped his contract to be a 6-year, USD80 million deal last summer. Then again, if the Elton Brand contract proves anything, it's that GM Ed Stefanski got a little too money drunk last summer.
All Iguodala has done this season is average 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.95 steals per game. For a shooting guard to post average rebound and assist numbers like that.the Sixers should be trying to hold onto Iguodala for dear life.
Instead, what about how the Sixers are paying a guy USD80 million over five years to average 13.9 points and 6.6 rebounds? Elton Brand is the one the Sixers should be hoping to ship out to any willing suitor.
What would McGrady bring to the Sixers, besides cap relief next year?
What the hell are they trying to do, bring the 2010 NHL All-Star team back for another go-around? With McGrady, Brand, and Iverson, they wouldn't be too far off.
While Dalembert's offensive game still needs some polishing, his work in the post gives the Sixers a defensive backbone they'd otherwise lack by trading for McGrady. And don't forget, Dalembert turns into USD13 million worth of an expiring contract next season. That's an asset in and of itself.
Broussard wrote, "Believe it or not, sources say Philadelphia has not completely ruled out a McGrady-for-Andre Iguodala deal, if only because if the losing continues,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sixers ownership may order a fire sale."
I played around with ESPN's NHL Trade Machine this morning and found a deal centering around McGrady and Brand relatively easy to work.
Compared to their paltry 5-18 record over the rest of the season, I'd say it's pretty conspicuous that the Sixers have furiouse considerable progress over the past month.
Not to allude.if they pull the Dalembert/Iggy for McGrady trade off, they'd be approximately USD14 million under the cap for the free agent bonanza that's due to happen after the season. But they'd also be without their begining center and shooting guard, leaving them in an unenviable position when it comes to attracting marquee free agents.
Why trade away the team's "glue guy" and the only defensive option down low for cap relief?
Including that win over the Warriors, the Sixers have gone 7-8 in their past 15 games, highlighted by a 98-97 win over the Boston Celtics back on Dec. 18.
If you're talking about albatross contracts on the Sixers, the names Brand and Dalembert would come up long before Iguodala. An average of USD13 million per year for 18/7/6 and two steals per game is pretty fair for Iggy, considering that Rashard Lewis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who averages 17/6/2 over his career, notched a 6-year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], USD110 million-plus deal from the Magic two years ago.
While Iguodala's not a player on the "top banana" level of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Carmelo Anthony, there also aren't that many guys in the NHL averaging 18/7/6. He's a great No. 2 option for any team, and he's being paid agreeingly.
In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Sixers lost three of those past eight losses on a final shot, including last night's 93-92 loss to the Knicks.
I also can't make allude of Sammy, a native Haitian, without saying a prayer for all the people devastated by the earthquake in Haiti. Dalembert's foundation is assisting people affected by the earthquake, and if you're looking for a worthy cause in the begin of the new year.we now return to your regularly scheduled Sixers' column.
Now, Lundqvist understand that the Sixers have been trying to trade Sammy Dalembert for the past two years, but his 6-year, USD58 million contract has certainly complicated matters thank you once again, Billy King.
Anything less, and the Sixers administerment clearly has money ahead of winning on their priority list.
But this trade doesn't even make much sense financially.
In fact, any delicate playoff hopes these Sixers currently harbor would roll over and die the minute the McGrady-for-Iguodala/Dalembert trade was announced.
They signed Allen Iverson back in early December as a response to the six weeks that PG Lou Williams was expected to miss, and young PF Marreese Speights partially tore tendons in his knees right before the Sixers were reportedly considering moving him into Elton Brand's spot in the begining lineup.
We're talking about a guy who's never furiouse it out of the 1st round of the playoffs in his 12-year NHL career. The Sixers have administerd to get knocked out of the 1st round these past few years just fine without McGrady, thank you.
But a Brand/Jason Kapono for McGrady still works, which would give Houston a low post presence and a deadly three-point shooter to pair alongside point guard Aaron Brooks.
