DRAFT PICK

Marreese Speights, F, 6-10, Florida -- Could compete for backup minutes at power forward; needs to get stronger and improve conditioning.

BIGGEST NEEDS
The Sixers landed the power forward they craved in unrestricted free agent Elton Brand, thanks to a five-year, $83 million contract. That took care of their weakest position with Brand, a 20- and 10-career guy. The team added a backup point guard in Royal Ivey and a decent outside shooter in Kareem Rush.

FREE AGENT FOCUS
G Kevin Ollie, F Shavlik Randolph and F/C Herbert Hill are unrestricted free agents who won't be back. Hill signed a contract to play for Le Mans in France. C Calvin Booth was traded to the Timberwolves to clear cap space after picking up a $1.14 million player option. G Lou Williams signed a five-year deal worth roughly $25 million to remain a Sixer. F/G Andre Iguodala, who is a restricted free agent, wants a five- or six-year deal worth at least $70 million. Iguodala turned down a five-year, $57 million extension last October.

PLAYER NOTES

--G Andre Miller has exchanged text messages with team president Ed Stefanski. Stefanski said Miller was happy with the team's off-season moves and working out in preparation for 2008-09. Stefanski said he and Miller haven't discussed extending Miller's contract, which expires next summer, but he hopes to broach the topic with Miller before the start of training camp.

Representatives for F/G Andre Iguodala and the Sixers continue to negotiate toward a long-term contract.

"Negotiations are progressing," said team president Ed Stefanski. "That's all I'll say about it. It takes time. Things just don't happen overnight."

--Should rookie F Marreese Speights continue to wear No. 16, as he did in the summer league, he'll become the first Sixer since Bailey Howell (1970-71) to do so.

Well, living in Oz means I see f*** all Sixers on TV.  It's all Cleveland, Lakers, Boston and Spurs.  I only get to follow games via the CBS play by play Game Tracker.  So not seeing how the players are actually playing, means for the most part I can only go o ...(more)

We are young, moving steadily in the right direction. What do you think? Sixers take a run a LeBron James after the season? Why not? At worst they can drive the price up for who ever does get him. It's just a thought. I mean any market he moves to will be bigger than Cleveland right?

Did I hear that Ed Stefanski wants to bring back the other AI? You know the one who doesn't like to "practice." The one who if he doesn't get at least 30 shots a night pouts? The one who walked out on his team last year claiming he had an injury? Then he was told by them to stay home. That AI. No! No! Say it ain't so. This would definately be a step backward.

I watched the draft hoping to see the Philly players all get selected. My favorite Dionte Christmas was not taken and part of me was happy because it gives the 76ers an oppurtunity to sign him. I thought perhaps we would acguire a second rounder so that we could draft him, but I think this is a perfect oppurtunity to get him. I feel like we ...(more)

what a disappointment...I am usually positive as it comes about uniform changes

but these blow

they missed retro and look cheap as hell---remind me of my middle school unis in 1986

outline the letters or just put "phila" on the front

something...elton brand looks embarrased...not quite as bad as the 1991 shawn bradley specials but close

Everyone says having replacement referees will hurt the league, that is total BULL!  The old refs were so corrupt and the games were so predictable, basketball has fallen to fourth place behind hockey in the four major sports.

I think the new refs will do a better job b.c they are not in the pockets of the mafia..... YET.

In with the old. Rodney Carney is not old but is he the best Fast Eddie could find? Sad. I wish Carney the best. I hope the move is worth it.

Haven't checked in lately, been following my football teams. Anyway I just saw under the transactions that on aug. 4th we signed free agent Primoz Brezac , . It says he's a center. Anybody know anything about him? I apologize if this has already been discussed. Like I said , I haven't checked in recently.

The first move is to sign and trade Andre Miller to Portland for Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw.  You sign Miller for 3 years 10 mil per and that equals Outlaw and Blake whose contr ...(more)
