If I were the sixers here are some trades I think they should do:

Successful Scenario

Due to Philadelphia and Washington being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Philadelphia and Washington had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Jamal Magloire for Sam Dalembert when Sammy's BYC comes off

Why they do the Washington trade:
Korver's a bad defender and Steven's a good shotblocker but he's not a good man to man defender. They swap picks with Washington and move down in the draft. The Sixers get a big PG that's good on D so Iverson can play SG on offense again. Antonio Daniels is another guy who can handle the ball when Iverson gets double teamed. Antonio Daniels would be more valuable to Philly then Korver and Hunter.

Why they do the Memphis trade: Iguodala hasn't shown much progress and he won't as long as he's playing with Iverson/CWebb. He needs to be in a system where he gets the ball more and there's not 2 guys who take a lot of shots. Once Eddie Jones comes off the books Memphis also has their replacement in Iguodala(who can defend and is athletic). Battier is a good defender, a decent shooter, and he can handle the ball a bit. Shane Battier is a smarter player than Iguodala is and if you want to win with Iverson than you need smart vets. Iguodala is too inconsistent, he can score a lot but there are nights when he literally takes 2 shots. Philly also gets a player with a lot of potential in Hakim Warrick(he's athletic, can defend, and play the 3 or 4).

Why Philly does the NYK trade: Chris can't play defense anymore. Iverson and Chris don't mix that well and when either of them get the ball it stops because they each want their shots. Chris is getting up their in age with a bad contract, if they want to trade him there's not many teams that will take on his contract. This way they get a defensive athletic player that can hustle in David Lee. Mo Taylor is filler and his contract expires in 07(they could trade him if they want before the deadline for some more help). Quentin can defend and spot up for Iverson(kind of like Korver but Korver's not as good on defense).

Why they do the Milwaukee trade: Dalembert doesn't box out or play man to man defense very well. He's on a huge contract too. I'm not sure I would though, I don't know if this much turn over for a club is good(in fact I don't think it is, but they need to make a lot of trades to get better defensively. Magloire is a double double guy with good man to man defense.

MLE targets: Reggie Evans/Lorenzen Wright.
These guys defend and don't need the ball to be effective. Evans can clean up Iverson's misses.

Re-sign:

Willie Green, why: He's a decent young combo guard with athleticism. He can come in off the bench and they missed him most of this season.
Shavlik Randolph, why: He hustles, boxes out, and plays defense. He's a smart player and he's cheap. I think you reward his effort by re-signing him.


Basic roster After all these trades:

Daniels/Green
Iverson/Q-Rich
Battier/Warrick
Evans/Lee/Randolph
Dalembert(Magloire?)/Randolph

That team is pretty good defensively and Iverson is going to be most of the offense like he was when they got to the finals. The guys can rebound and they hustle. When Philly went to the finals, they had a lot of defensive players around Iverson and he scored 30 PPG. He's a smarter player now and a better shooter.

Anyways, flame away/tell me your thoughts or something.

^^Interesting ideas there BMiller52...perhaps the only risk would be that Philadelphia would end up being the other extreme - too much defense and not enough offensive talent. I think of all of the trades you proposed the best one for the Sixers would be the Memphis trade. I agree that Iguodala simply cannot mature as a player fast enough on a team like the Sixers. Battier and Warrik are certainly better options. The Washington trade would also be mutually beneficial as the biggest thing the Sixers need right now is a pg, preferably one with size like Daniels, so that AI can play sg and this bigger pg can gaurd opposing sgs. The Webber trade I am not so sure about because I'm not that sold on either Taylor or Lee as anything more than filler players. As for the pickups, I believe tough rebounders like Evans and Wright are exactly what the team needs - players who hustle and play effectively without the ball.

 

[BMiller52]

Thanks. I like what my deals do for each team a lot. When Philly got to the finals they only averaged 94 PPG.


Washington could probably get better defensively by grabbing Shelden Williams with the Philly pick they get. Arenas doesn't need a big PG like Iverson because he's 6'3'' or 6'4'' and Iverson is only like 6'0''.

Memphis will need a replacement for Eddie Jones when he's gone. Iguodala gives them that, maybe he gets the shots there and developes into a semi star like he can be(he has all that athleticism and he's not a bad shooter). Ollie was just filler.

NYK will do anything to get better and they aren't exactly in love with those players anyways. They have nobody that can actually pass so Chris could help them there I think. Mo Taylor's contract filler and Lee isn't getting much time anyways.

From what I've heard Milwaukee needs a shotblocker kind of badly. They get Slammy and Philly gets another defender/rebounder(who will give them between 10 and 15 PPG, he's basically a double double). I don't really see people scoring on that team. I'm iffy on this deal though.

Anyways I'd love to hear what everybody has to say.

I think it's more not Iguodala why he doesn't get consistent shots. Iguodala has improved his jumper/passing/post-up game this season a bunch. I like the deals though, would love Iguodala on the Grizzlies. Similar to what I set-up, more in-depth though. Reggie Evans isn't much of a defender, but is a great hustle player.
