Philadelphia,October 29,2006
Maurice Cheeks office...
Maurice was bouncing his B-Ball of the wall and thinking.
"This is a 1st Lottery pick team"-he thought
"I need to change somethink quickly"-he said while he was opening the free agents list
"WTF?"-Eisley unsigned??
"Hmmm,he has got a pretty good jumpshot,he can shoot 3-pointers"
He thought."but he has no iside game no defense"-replied Stefanski while entering the office.
"boss,we dont have the outside game,you gotta admit that"-Cheeks said angrily.
"yes i know that,we are in a big plus in cap room,biggest in league,we could aquire Shaq,but we need to save it Maurice,we dont have a good team,we can't make the playoffs,we need to go for a high pick".
"NO BOSS!!-Replied Cheeks.
So the argue continued for the next 5 minutes,in the end Stefanski gived up.
"ok,you can to some transactions,but none with Iggy,ok??"
"O.K. boss,you wont regret it""-said Cheeks while sitting in his chair.
He was thinking,goin through every single player and looking for a talent.
there it was,Cavaliers 2nd guard,a pearl.Daniel Gibson,Good shooter,decent passer and
an ankle-breaker.But what did he have to do to get him?
Cheeks picked up the phone,Called Mike Browns office.
beep.....beep...."Hello"-a nice voice said.
"hello this is Maurice Cheeks can i getMike Brown"
-"sure,just a second"...."Hello?"-said Brown.
"Hello Mike hows it going"Reall good Mo,we might be a conference finalists this year.
"i don't doubt it,but you need a PG"-"yes thats true,we are trying to aquire one."
"I would like to offer you Andre Miller"-"I'm not giving Ilgauskas,sorry".
"No,Miller for Gibson i though"-Hmmm sounds good,Ill call you in a min"-said Brown
5 Minutes later.....
"Hello"-said Cheeks as he answered the call.
"Hey Mo,we accept the offer,just send me the paperwork so i can sign it"
"great,I'll fax it right away"-said Cheeks
"wow this was quick"-he though
Now th 76ers got a decent PG,great for fast breaks and Pick&Pops
"K now i go sign Eisley"-he said
The thing was done in notime,Eisley immediately accepted the offer.
"Boss,Boss"-Cheeks was shouting while running to Stefanskis Office-
"what the hell"-said Stefanski while hidding a magazine in his desk.
"what you want Maurice"-Said Stefanski quite sweaty.
"i traded Andre Miller for Daniel Gibson and signed Eisley.
"What the...Andre for Gibson?"-asked Stefanski angrily
"ye,Andre cant shoot,hes slow,and has a big salary"
"true,true but Gibson is a piece of junk Maurice"-said Stefanski
"Listen boss,We can do pick&pops with him,hes a great shooter."
"yea you make your point there,i have no problems with Eisley,but i don't know about this one"
"But boss,please i already send the paperwork"-said Cheeks
"OK,here's what your gonna do"-started Stefanski
"your gonna get out of my office,and make sure that Gibson shines".
"OK boss,seya"
