STOJAKOVIC TRADED BY SIXERS
The Sixers traded forwards Peja Stojakovic and Lawrence Funderburke to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Toni Kukoc and Maciej Lampe. This takes the Sixers' main three-point threat away, along with a decent backup. In return, they get a veteran forward and a great prospect. When the trade was announced, fans angrily flooded radio stations all over the city. Their ire was due to the fact that the team's second round pick in the re-draft was traded for just a prospect and a veteran who might retire soon. Billy King, the general manager of the 76ers, commented, "Our lineup just had too many scorers to be effective. We needed to bring in more of a role player." King also suggested that there might have been problems between Stojakovic and the organization.
