Webber at Dallas in not so realistic... Who's going to play C? Dirk? he'll get raped, as Bill would say... I say ship him off to Miami for Eddie Jones and Udonis Haslem...

Dirk is already playing center right now For some odd reason they are bringing Dampier off the bench and KVH is playing PF. That's a pretty good deal that you said, but I don't think the Heat would really want Webber and I don't like Haslem that much either and Jones is old like match said.

Let's see here ...

Richard Jefferson



For

Chris Webber



New Jersey probably needs an inside presence and Webber can fill that spot and also there are too many scoring options with Kidd And Carter on that team. He can play the SF/SG position.

Yea ruffryder mentioned RJ to me earlier on MSN, but I wouldn't think that the Nets would give up their future in RJ because they looking at him long term.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I've probably found the deal that I want. Thanks for all the suggestions and a deal may be done by the end of the week

76ERS VS. PISTONS
Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, 1:00 p.m., EST

TV, radio: Comcast SportsNet; UPN 57
Records: Pistons, 16-9; 76ers, 16-10


KEY MATCHUP: IVERSON/MCCANTS VS. BILLUPS/HAMILTON
The Pistons have one of the best backcourts in the league featuring Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton. They combine for 38.6ppg, 5.8rpg and 12.3apg for the Pistons. Hamilton has the ability to run through hundreds of screens to find an open shot and Iverson may be the one to tail him as McCants may guard Billups due to his size. Iverson will also cause the backcout some trouble with him being quicker than both guards.

INSIDE THE 76ERS
Philadelphia is playing some of their best basketball since the beginning of the season. They have won three straight games beating two of the top Eastern teams in the conference. They will have a back-to-back against the Pistons as they play them again on Monday night. Iverson will look to continue playing well against Detroit's tough defense.

INSIDE THE PISTONS
Detroit is doing the exact opposite of the Sixers as they are on a tough 4-game losing skid. Three of their 4 losses were at home and all of the loss have been at least 7 points or less. Pistons rookie, Charlie Villanueva will be available for tonight's game after being hurt the last time theses two teams met.

PROBABLE STARTERS

C-Samuel Dalembert
PF-Chris Webber
SF-Andre Iguodala
SG-Rashad McCants
PG-Allen Iverson


C-Ben Wallace
PF-Rasheed Wallace
SF-Tayshaun Prince
SG-Rip Hamilton
PG-Chauncey Billups

[C89KF]

tough game

think about the pistons slowing down iverson
i think he'll shoot at a very low percentage

[Keo]

Nice work. Sorry I'm having my computer fixed so I haven't been able to check your dynasty.
I understand why you'd want to trade Webber...hopefully you can make a good deal.

[Jugs]

Good Luck against the Pistons, should be a good match up

i really have no idea what you should deal with for webber i like the Dallas one but not realistic, maybe try to do a "3 way trade" and put webber on a team that needs him and get someone there (i dont know what i'm on about)

It's coo, you've told me before so I understand that It's not that Webber is exactly doing bad on the team, but I just don't see him in the future plans and his inside presence isn't that great and isn't a brusier like what I want, plus I want to make room for Simien.

I don't see why people are not seeing it as a realistic deal I know for sure that the Mavs would take C-Webb if they got the right deal for them because he can play that fast pace game and they like soft players. I think that's just as good as you can get to a realistic deal especially without going after a star player. If I was going after some young star, and they got Cwebb in return, that'll be a lil' different.

Tayshaun Prince was 3-4 from downtown and scored 17 points

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., December 24 (Ticker) -- Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers showed their fight. The Detroit Pistons displayed their championship pedigree. Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince made clutch shots in the final 80 seconds as the Pistons recovered after almost blowing a big lead to the 76ers, 97-86, that ended their 4-game losing skid. "This is the fourth (game) in five nights and it feels like it," Billups said. "Games like this and wins like this mean a lot. It's better than winning a game by 20 points. Winning a game like this just builds a lot of character and builds trust in everybody. This was a great win." Detroit coach Larry Brown said he could tell a lot of his players were running on empty.

"We're fortunate we got a win," Brown said. "I don't know how, but we'll take it. I think under the circumstances, this was probably the most meaningful win for me as a coach, watching what these guys did. They could have packed it in." The former NBA champion Pistons (17-9) methodically worked their way to an 54-41 at halftime, relying on Richard Hamilton's offense and an assault on the offensive glass. But the 76ers (16-11) went to a bigger backcourt and rallied to trim the lead down to 7 points heading into the 4th quarter. Iverson had a 3-pointer and hit two free throws early in the 4th quarter that moved the Sixers within’ two points. After Hamilton drove for a hoop, Prince drilled a 3-pointer at the 1:20 mark. Iverson, who had 24 points and 7 assists, took a bad shot and Wallace made him pay by popping free for a 17-footer with 48 seconds left.

Second year player Andre Iguodala kept the Sixers within‘ five points after that sequence, but Billups struck at the other end with a 12-footer over Iverson with 24 seconds to go. "We had run the first play for Rip (Hamilton) and we came back with the same play and they thought we were going the same way, so it was definitely a good read," Billups said. "I just had to make a play." Iverson was disappointed in the loss, but not in the chances the 76ers had at the end. "The comeback was at perfect timing, but we couldn’t get the defensive stops,” he said. We had the opportunity to tie it up and go into overtime, we just couldn't get it done. You can make all the excuses you want. They were just better than us tonight. But we'll be back." Hamilton scored 20 points, Prince added 17 and Ben Wallace 13 and 15 rebounds for the Pistons, who outrebounded the 76ers 47-40.

Miller is on his way out after spending nine games with the 76ers

Miller Released By Sixers

PHILADELPHIA, December 24 (AP) -- The Philadelphia 76ers released CEO of No Limit Records, Percy Miller A.K.A Master P today. "We didn't really see him as a player we need throughout the season and we were just looking to move on and make other moves," Sixers GM Billy King said. "He was great as a teammate, but we had to make room on the roster in case we wanted to bring in younger talent." Miller understood what was going on and he accepted the fact that he was released and appreciated the oppurtunity the Sixers gave him. "The fans were great and the organization was great to me," Miller said. "I finally got to live my dream and even if it didn't last very long, I now know how it feels to be an NBA player."

Master P played in all 9 games since he was signed by the Sixers and averaged 3ppg, 0.8rpg, .06apg in 9.8mpg. Since he is a free agent now, there is a possibility of him going to another team. "I'm hoping another team would try to pick me up and keep me. I think I really have what it takes to help a team get to the top." Miller doesn't plan on giving up just yet and retiring from his early NBA career. He will continue to workout until a team calls him or he will most likely go back and play for the CBA if no team is able to pick him up.

Sixers-Mavericks Make Big Trade
Seven players were included in the deal




PHILADELPHIA, December 23 (AP) -- The Sixers and Mavericks finally struck a deal after days of discussion between the two teams. The Mavericks were looking for another scoring big man to put aside Nowitzki and the Sixers were looking for more youth. The Mavericks ended up dealing Erick Dampier, Josh Howard and Devin Harris to the Sixers for big men Chris Webber, Marc Jackson and guards Willie Green and Kyle Korver. Neither team was looking to make such a big trade, but Cuban was ready to try and make a big step up adding to their already deep roster. "Webber is the type of player that can play all 5 positions and many say he isn't the same Webber as he was years ago, but he still can play up to the level of competitveness," Cuban said. "He should fit well into our fast pace game alongside Dirk." Webber averages with the Sixers through 27 starts were 17.2ppg, 9.2rpg and 4.6apg.

Philadelphia were looking for a veteran big man to put beside young big men Wayne Simien and Samuel Dalembert. Dampier would make the perfect match as he provides rebounding an shot blocking for the team. The team also plans on having Josh Howard start at the forward position and moving Iguodala to the guard spot so that McCants can come off the bench. "We feel that this was just a great deal for us and we couldn't pass it up. We ended up getting a great backup point guard in Devin Harris, a bigger backcourt by adding Josh and Dampier brings out our frontline perfectly," Billy King said. Josh Howard averaged 12.5ppg, 6.7rpg and 1.1spg for the Mavericks, Devin Harris averaged 9.7ppg and 4.6apg while starting half of the games. Erick Dampier started in 11 of the 24 games played and averaged 8ppg and 6.7rpg. All 7 players aren't expected to play until after Christmas Day with the trade happening one day before each team play. Neither player will suit for tomorrow's game as the Mavericks face the Spurs and the Sixers face the Pistons on Christmas Eve.

[Its_asdf]

That was a pretty good trade, you ripped them off, but at least it looked realistic from a certain point of view. It might be hard for the almighty and talented Harris to get some minutes with A.I. around. Josh Howard will definitely beef up your defence and rebounding. I like this trade, good work.

[Keo]

I don't think you got a good deal there...the only posotive is getting some young guys on the roster, but you gave up too much for a couple youngsters and Dampier.
Sorry, I wish I could've supported you on this but it's just not a good trade.

[Its_asdf]

I don't think you got a good deal there...the only posotive is getting some young guys on the roster, but you gave up too much for a couple youngsters and Dampier.
Sorry, I wish I could've supported you on this but it's just not a good trade.

Couple of youngsters? What the hell? Josh fucking Howard and Devin fucking Harris just a couple of youngsters? Batman (not used to calling you that), got an awesome deal man.

Psh, you're just mad because Webber left.

Korver? He is just like every other white shooting guard; he can shoot the three, but does nothing else.

Willie Green has potential, but I think Devin Harris has even more.

So basically his team got younger, more potential and a big man that is one of the top rebounders in the league for a former all-star foward with a busted leg and a couple of average players at best, and you hated that trade?!?!?!?

I think the coffee is starting to get to my head.

[Keo]

Well I'm sorry you don't feel the same way...that's my opinion. I don't mind Webber leaving, he's not fitting in in Philly and the trade was neccessary. Unfortunately, this wasn't the right trade.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

I don't know about the deal being the most realistic, but I tried but as for me getting the worse end of the deal, I don't agree with that. I have to agree with Asdf more on this. Howard is a 77 which is the same as Iguodala, Harris a 72, Dampier a 67. Webber is an 82, Green 69, Korver 64, Jackson 61. When you look at the ratings, the deal looks perfect to me. Jackson wasn't really worth anything on my team especially since he was like the 9th or 10th man. I decided that the Mavs may need him since they would be giving up Dampier. They recieved Green and Korver to replace Howard and Harris. What I got in the deal was a good rebounder and even though Webber was like a sidekick for Iverson, I didn't really want him to be. I wanted Iguodala to be more of the sidekick and thats another reason why I did the deal. I saw Iggy more as my 2nd option than Webber.

My backcourt also got bigger with the two AI's in the backcourt and Howard at SF so when I face those players like McGrady, Kobe and so on, I won't have McCants guarding them or have to put Iggy on them and then make McCants guard the SF. But like you said Sensation, everyone has their own opinions. I'm glad you expressed yourself on the deal, but I still couldn't really understand why you thought it wasn't the right deal for me.

[Keo]

Oh, I didn't know Korver and Jackson's ratings were so low...I guess this wasn't so bad a deal then.

[John WB]

I like the deal. Good work.

[C89KF]

how you do a 4 for 3 trade?
what i mean is that how did you trade 4 players for 3 players?

great trade, both team got what they were looking for and wow, the C-Webb and Dirk combination will be great to see.

With the trade, I can see the sixers will be another team who is looking to run (a lot)

[Fresh8]

Nice work Batman... would have liked to see u resurect Shawn Bradley though.. lol

He was draft by the SIxers aye?

And cant wait to see ur new team play together!

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

haha, you ripped the Mavs off.... Howard AND Harris... what kind of weed is Cuban smoking?

Anyway, now you have a logjam at the backcourt and an inexperienced frontcourt, rather lopsoded, but I hope it works out for you...

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Oh, I didn't know Korver and Jackson's ratings were so low...I guess this wasn't so bad a deal then.

Yea I know it wasn't

I like the deal. Good work.

Thanks, looks like some people like it and some don't.

how you do a 4 for 3 trade?
what i mean is that how did you trade 4 players for 3 players?

great trade, both team got what they were looking for and wow, the C-Webb and Dirk combination will be great to see.

With the trade, I can see the sixers will be another team who is looking to run (a lot)

Because I used the NBA Edtior where you can do as a big of a trade you want to do. I know that it was a good deal because Cwebb would fit in nice with a fast pace team like that and they add another shooter in Korver to the team, plus they get a big man back since they loss Dampier and Green just another solid player off the bench.

Nice work Batman... would have liked to see u resurect Shawn Bradley though.. lol

He was draft by the SIxers aye?

And cant wait to see ur new team play together!

Thanks and there is no way I would've took Bradley I can't wait to see the team too, I won't have them play in my next game because usually when a deal like this happen, it takes a few days for the players to get on the roster and actually play so they won't make their debut against the Pistons, but the next game. So my team will be really short

haha, you ripped the Mavs off.... Howard AND Harris... what kind of weed is Cuban smoking?

Anyway, now you have a logjam at the backcourt and an inexperienced frontcourt, rather lopsoded, but I hope it works out for you...

Well one reason why I thought that wouldn't mind giving up Howard is because they do have Daniels, Stackhouse, Danny Granger, KVH and now Korver and Green Harris is because he wouldn't start over Terry anyway and they still have Armstrong plus Green who can possibly play PG so there wasn't really no need for them to keep them, I gave them a reason not to keep them. And why would my frontcourt be inexperienced when I got Dampier, Simien and Howard when at first I had Dalembert, Webber and Iguodala, thats about the same type of frontcourt and same for the backcourt. I now have a bigger backcourt with the two AI's playing and now I have a bigger SG. I still don't see whats so wrong about this deal

PISTONS VS. 76ERS
Wachoiva Center, Philadelphia, 7:30 p.m., EST

TV, radio: Comcast SportsNet; UPN 57
Records: Pistons, 17-9; 76ers, 16-11


KEY MATCHUP: WAYNE SIMIEN VS. RASHEED WALLACE
This will be Simien's first NBA start and he will no other than one of the toughest frontlines in the game. Rasheed Wallace averages just over 18ppg and 9rpg for the Pistons. Simien will start due to the trade that was made yesterday that sent Webber, Green, Korver and Jackson to the Mavericks. Many believe that he will remain the starting PF once the team gets situated.

INSIDE THE 76ERS
The Sixers will be without the players they traded for because they are awaiting their physicals. Erick Dampier will be available tonight because he had took his physical the day of the trade. There is also a possibility of Devin Harris playing if his physical goes to the team before the game starts, but Josh Howard has yet to take his physical.

INSIDE THE PISTONS
The Pistons have a 2-0 advantage over the Sixers and they won the last meeting on Christmas Eve, 97-86. With a back-to-back game tonight, the Pistons may lose because most of the time, the two teams split back-to-back games and very rarely a team wins two straight games. The Pistons lead the Eastern Conference standings with the Heat trailing them by a half game.

PROBABLE STARTERS

C-Samuel Dalembert
PF-Wayne Simien
SF-Andre Iguodala
SG-Rashad McCants
PG-Allen Iverson


C-Ben Wallace
PF-Rasheed Wallace
SF-Tayshaun Prince
SG-Rip Hamilton
PG-Chauncey Billups

Rip Hamilton led the lowly Pistons with 28 points

PHILADELPHIA, December 26 (Ticker) -- Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers had the Eastern Conference leading team looking tired and hurt. Iverson had 32 points and 9 assists as the hot-shooting 76ers rode a great 2nd half and sent a message in an easy 101-87 victory over the Detroit Pistons. Rookie Wayne Simien had a double-double for Philadelphia, which shot 50 percent (40-of-79) from the field as it took total advantage of the tired Pistons. The Pistons weren’t able to match the shooting percentage by the Sixers as they shot 38% from the field. Playing the first 42 minutes, Iverson started at his usual breakneck pace, which the Pistons could not match. The NBA scoring leader made 13-of-21 shots and four steals, falling just shy of his 62nd career 40-point game.

The Sixers made their first eight shots, but the Pistons did were still in control from most of the first quarter. They held a 27-22 lead after one period and the Sixers cut the deficit by one point heading into halftime with a 56-52 deficit behind 20 points by Iverson, who had more points than the Pistons entire frontcourt combined. Detroit were losing their composure as the Sixers cut the lead to two points at the end of the 3rd quarter. Wayne Simien made a pair of jumpers to trigger a 12-2 run that gave Philadelphia control for good for the entire 4th quarter and were able to hold the Pistons to just eight 4th quarter points. Simien scored a career-high 22 points and also shot 3-3 from downtown.

With the outcome well in hand during a timeout in the fourth quarter, TV microphones picked up Sixers coach Jim O'Brien exhorting his team to pour it on and deliver a message to the Pistons, whom they lost to in the first two meetings of the season. The Sixers (17-11) made 10-of-14 3-pointers and collected 9 steals as they have won 4 of their last 5 game. Erick Dampier made his debut in a Sixers uniform tonight and he received a standing ovation from the crowd. He was the only player available from the deal tonight with Devin Harris and Josh Howard still being out due to their physical. In Dampier’s debut, he scored 6 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 18 minutes of play. “The mood here is great and I’ve enjoyed myself so far, I’m pretty sure that Devin and Josh will like the new atmosphere as well,” Dampier said.
