Looks like Mr. Wilcox is going to settle for a one year deal with Seattle and become a free agent next summer, or be traded before the deadline.  3 mill?  That's pretty bad.

This is a tough one. We have a great backcourt. If championships were given out to teams who were fun to watch, we would probably have many. BUT, we need to make some upward movement. It seems like everyone is hoping B Diddy will be healthy and get along this year. I hope so. But I thought it would happen last year, and it didn't.

Injuries and conditioning plagued dude last year. We have never even seen BD at 100% in a "Oakland" Warriors uni. I won't knock him unless another season goes by and he hasn't proven his worth. They definitely need to keep him and JRich together.

Moving a growing superstar JRich would be something only an idiot would do. We saw how much he grew last year alone. Imagine how much better he will be in a year or two.

Baron I would only be willing to move if he comes out this year like he did last year. Out of shape and prone to injury. I still can't understand the lack of desire to come prepared to camp.

Keep JRich.  He's a good player and earning his salary.

Sadly, Baron is the key.

Baron admitted in his exit interview that he thought he could play himself into top shape by Dec.  He got hurt and it went down hill from there.

Asst Coach Mario Ellie said Baron has to face that he can be lazy and stubborn.

Three seasons of injuries in a row.
He openly fueded with his last two coaches.
He was traded in a lopsided trade.

I want him to turn it around but frankly he's too old to change unless visited by three spirits on XMAS eve.

If Davis reports in anything less than tip-top playing shape, he's the same old guy -- and our playoff hopes are screwed.  Mullin will be the first guy to tell him so -- in Sept.

I don't think Baron is too old to change. Players who have been "problems" sometimes turn it around.

Remember A.I. saying:     I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're in here talking about practice. I mean listen, we're talking about practice. Not a game . . . We're talking about practice. Not a game . . . that I go out there and die for, and play every game like it's my last. Not the game. We're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? We're talking about practice. I know I'm supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example . . . I know it's important . . . I honestly do. But we're talking about practice, man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man . . . We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game, we're talking about practice, man. When you come into the arena, and you see me play . . . you see me give everything I got, right? But we're talking about practice right now. We're talking about practice . . . We're not even talking about the game, the actual game, when it matters. We're talking about practice.

        -- Allen Iverson at a press conference on May 8, 2002

    He said "practice" more times than he's actually practiced.

        -- Larry Brown speaking to reporters the next day

Nonetheless, when Brown left the 76ers in 2003, both he and Iverson indicated that the two were on good terms and genuinely fond of one another. Iverson later reunited with Brown when Iverson became a member and co-captain of the 2004 United States Olympic men's basketball team.

In 2005, on Stephen A. Smith's ESPN talkshow Quite Frankly, Iverson was asked to outline his problems with Brown. Iverson declared that he was privileged and honored to have had Brown as his coach, without any qualms, reservations or criticism; he described Brown as an overwhelmingly positive influence on his basketall career and in his personal life. Smith then played a clip of Brown describing "The Answer" as an ideal role-model for American children, and Iverson wept.

Now Allen actually shows up to practice and except for him failing to show up for their last home game this season(along) with Chris Webber he has really "grown-up".

Anyone else think Baron can turn himself around to?

Replacing a coach is easier than replacing players.  There's no cap restrictions on canning the coach like there are on trades.
