Wow, are you slow or something? I make mention that you should read the previous posts in the thread, so you read all of my posts. That makes sense to you?
Actually, it does. Your posts are part of the thread
Nothing. They do have to do with the fact that someone posted a reply stating Elton Brand is one of the top five power forwards in the league. I posted my opinion.
That you backed with absolutely nothing. Just a bunch of
's and 
lol... Is this a joke? You quote all of my posts, one of which clearly states that given what the Sixers currently have, Elton Brand was the obvious choice. Now before you reply saying "liekOmg, than y r u tlking bout Josh Smith?". I said that because someone stated the CLIPPERS will either go for Josh Smith or Emeka Okafor to fill in the loss of Maggette/Brand. I said if I had a choice of Maggette, Brand, or Josh Smith, and I was the Clippers, I'd choose Josh Smith.
But one of them states that if the Sixers didn't have Iguodala then you'd take Josh Smith. Didn't we read all of your posts?
In what aspect, besides age, is Josh Smith a better option than Brand? There's a chance he might be a star some day. But Brand is already a proven player.
Oh, was this your attempt at being funny? Oh... Good one.
And that was your attempt at sarcasm? It was actually a similar scenario, with different players.
I know Iggy is a great defender, but he needs to be consistent.. In their first round sreies against the Pistons, he was the one who guarded Rip and Tayshaun.. Rip averaged 19.7 PPG, and shot 47% from the field.. added 5 rebs & 4.5 assists.. Tayshaun averaged 16.3 PPG, shot "66%" from the field and 40% from 3-pt distance.. And he just averaged 13.2 PPG in that series shooting just 33% and 14% from 3 and 4 turnovers a game.. He has to work on his outside game.. He should be one of the top offensive options for the sixers so instead of guarding the best scorer of the opposing team, there would be that wing defender that could guard that top scorer.. This would lessen the chance of foul trouble for Iggy and he could concentrate on his offensive game..
Agree. Consistency is his biggest problem. It's like he defends or attacks, but can't do both in the same game.
Andre Miller would have a difficulty in guarding bigger SGs. Thaddeus is long and athletic, and has all the potential of being a great wing defender, but he still has to develop, he is not that mobile and defensive-minded enough to guard the likes of kobe, lebron, melo, wade, t-mac, etc...
Yup, but Miller's good enough to keep them in check at least. Not a shutdown defender, but a smart one.
And about Thad, he'll get there. Trust me on this one. Quote me in 2010.
I love Iggy, He's Athletic, Defensive, he's got his all-around game, I just feel he needs to work on some parts of the game, especially his outside game, especially now that Brand is now with them, he'll be expecting some open shots, as opposing teams will look on doubling Brand in the post..
Just for the fact that now there's an inside prescence their (Iggy, Thad, Lou) shooting will improve, IMO. Now they'll get some open looks instead of shooting most of the time with a hand on their faces.
