word on WDFN is, philly is asking about a sign-and-trade for ben wallace....
of course, Iverson makes too much to be included ina deal for ben, and the sixers have nothing else we'd want outside of Igoudala, which leaves them $10 million short of matching salaries.
And no, Dalembert would be horrible.
If means taking Dalembert to get Iggy (to make salaries work) that is a shit load better than getting nothing for Benji.
He's a backup-calibur center making $50 million over the next 5 years. I'd rather have nothing.
Iggy would be great to have as a backup, yeah, but not at that price.
dalembert, rodney carney and iggy works for me!
but of course, why would philly give up all that talent? (iggy and carney mostly)
i personally don't understand their interest in him to begin with. it's not like they're that close to being a contender and in order to acquire him, they have to give up talent which they can not afford to lose. so they'd get ben but then have even less talent than they started with.....?
hey, i'd seriously look at it if they're that interested. dalembert, carney (who i LOVE) and maybe instead of iggy they throw in a couple of unprotected #1 picks?
then again, i guess picks wouldn't be included in a sign and trade...i don't know.
just thinking out loud, so don't jump on me if this sounds crazy. it probably will sound crazy to me too when i read this later.
Atlanta traded a couple picks with Diaw in the sign and trade for Joe Johnson.
But its very rare that this happens.
I would do Dalembert and Carney (They won't give us Iggy) for Ben if letting him walk to Chicago was the other option.
If it came down to chandler or dalembert, even I'd take chandler. He makes $2 million less than Sam and he's arguably a better player.
It's a toss up for me. Chandler is the better rebounder, but Sam has him offensively and in shot blocking. Plus Sam can hit a solid 70% of his Free Throws (Chandler's in the 50s).Quote:

Looks like I had chandler a little mixed up.Quote:

Chandler's six-year guaranteed deal is believed to be worth about $64 million, terms similar to the contract that the Philadelphia 76ers recently agreed to with Samuel Dalembert, 24, whose statistics compare to those of Chandler, 22.
Yea, I'd lean towards Chandler as well. It might help that he was teammates with Tayshaun in High School. Maybe it would help him find a comfort zone. I know back in his 2nd year he was actually pretty competant offensively, so it must be a confidence thing. He had his worst offensive year of his career this year.Quote:
