Thorn sees great potential in draft pick

I don't believe in the potential crap. I've seen so many come and go with no fanfare. To me you suck until y've proven yourself in the league. Add his poor summer league showing and you know what y're dealing with... he said she said... what have you done for me lately Turner?

turner is a cool dude cause he has head on straight there is no ego issues with this kid

Philly will be strong in a few years Get Rid of Brand

Solid guy. I miss ET already.

I dunno... they need to keep Brand. Post players are rare these days so having an injury prone post player is better than having none at all. I agree Eddy Curry took that notion too far and now he's become a wasteland. I bet he'll fake some injury in training camp to avoid being suspended without pay.

Shower the brotherly love, Bro.

Brand is the only thing holding this team back, but they're saying he's lost a ton of weight and is around the 245 lbs range which they feel will keep him playing like he did in Chicago and L.A. if that's true (a big if) look for him to be be decent and the sixers to play much better this season. I still think they need to rid themselves of him even if he plays good.

man brand was a beast a few years back that guy if he peaked would have destroyed dudes like bosh and gasol he was so physical and could rebound like crazy
to much money for him now though and i like spreights i think he can develop into something good

Brand got what he wanted. A big, fat contract. Although I am not a Clipper fan, I am glad he is doing poorly in Philly.

its unforuante to see how money can kill peoples career at times

I ran into some people in Philly that hang with a few NBA players. I'm told the word on the street is, he's soft and has no game. This is coming from his own teammates

You don't become the second pick in the draft with having no game.... I can believe the soft part though...

on NBA live 10 spreights increases his overall to 90 after 3 years
so he must be good lol

He won all of the major college awards and was the best player during March Madness. That says alot... Wall or anybody else is no more of a lock than Turner.

brand's problem in philly has been that he just can't finish. maybe it's that he wasn't recovered from the injuries, maybe it was his weight, but he looks like he lost a step... hopefully, he found it this offseason (though i'm not holding my breath).

theirs no way they should get rid of Iggy, he's one of the few shooting guards in the league that can do it all and not jack up 20 shots a game. Turner should fit in well with him. You act like Iggy sucks. he's just on a crap team with no true point guard or dominat big man. when those things change you'll see Iggy's true value.

yeah... it's the POINT GUARD that's holding iguodala down! hahahahahaha^100!

iguodala is what he has shown us that he is, a jack of all trades, master of none. i like having him on my team, but let's get over acting like he's going to suddenly be in the running for mvp. he's an incredibly athletic player who makes questionable decisions with the ball, can't shoot, and pouts alot.

i have no doubts that last season was EXTREMELY painful for the players. jordan jerked their minutes and showed himself to be MONUMENTALLY incompetent as a head coach. this was a team that had made the playoffs the previous two seasons, things were supposedly looking up (depending on your take on andre miller leaving), and last season they fell off of a cliff.

they should be back to fighting for a low playoff seed this season.
