New blog up. Been underground for a few days working on some things around Hawksville. But we’re back with a new monster entry that requires your immediate input.

I think this is the first trade of the off season

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have traded forward Reggie Evans to the Toronto Raptors for shooter Jason Kapono.

At least we know the talking between GM’s is going on…

Melvin,

I was born and raised in Atlanta (lived in Mableton, Smyrna, and Sandy Springs along the way). I moved to Philly for college, grad school, and my first year of law school, then transferred to DC to finish law school, and am now back in Philly. Through all that, though, I’ve remained purely loyal to Atlanta’s teams…although I honestly barely follow any sport but basketball now. I admit to developing a soft spot for the Wizards while I was in DC, though.

O’Brien,

If the sixers have a PG who can drive and dish, then all Kapono has to do is knock down the 3.

On offense, that’s true. But what do you do with him on the other end? Seriously, they just acquired basically a slower, less marketable (read: attractive) version of Korver. At least Korver could sell some jerseys. Kapono is just deadweight 50% of the time he’s on the floor.

Astro,

Looks like Josh (+3.2) Roland rating is higher than Joe (-3.0). What the heck is a Roland rating anyway…lol

nire, I agree that Kapono’s skills are very limited. But he is a solid bench player, and he makes less than $6 mil a year. Compare that to Bibby, who will probably cost $7 or $8 mil, and play 35 minutes every night. And thats exactly why I dont think we should resign Bibby.

Nire, Thad has been doing spot-duty at the 4 spot for the past two seasons. But I agree, Kapono will snatch his minutes, and Iggay at the 2 is no good.

A little tough on Lou though nire? You know, they’ve never given Lou the Keys to the car so to speak. I agree he may not be the best fit here, but If he’s allowed to get starters minutes, good things will happen for whatever squad he is playing for……..of course, i’m biased because I went to Highschool with him heh…

Astro,

Simple question. Would you say Joe elevated his game in the playoffs(2008 and 2009)?

It’s very annoying to me that there is hardly any replay used in NBA games. It’s so obvious that in every game there are 3 egregious calls by the refs which should be reviewed. Why is most of the reviewing done in MLB? Nobody watches baseball anymore
