Happy new year to you too ! 50 comments? lucky you, LOL !! Yes, I also was thinking that Young and Carney would get more playing time but right now it didn't happen ! I hope Green is next, even if we really missed him over the last games, and I hate saying this :-) thanks hermano ! Happy new year to you too !

Sorry for the lateness. In Spain many people love Korver, I had in my blog over 50 comments in only one day. Utah is a good team for Korver and I think he is going to improve his defense but not too much. After the trade of Korver, we thought that players like Carney and Thaddeus were going to play more minutes but Cheeks is really.... a bad coach. Now Ed has to trade reggie and green, and probably Cheeks will put Booth in our starting lineup, lol!! Best wishes hey ricky,

Welcome back my man, happy new year ! Not ripping Lou, I really like him and his blossoming is one of the nicest (even if expected) surprises of the year, just pointing out where he has to improve... his defense is "below average", and I'm being kind, LOL Yeah maybe I am biased when it comes to KK because I loved that he always gave 100% effort (on both ends, I mean), but the overall efficiency on defense was poor, u r right Utah is the perfect place for him I think, a winning team, well organized, well coached, with great circulation, led by another great PG and many low post threats to open things up for him "corn-fed white boy", LOL !!!!!!!!!!! (now let me go find a Korver wig, they surely have them on sales now...) Zeke !! Welcome back my man, happy new year !

I really enjoy your insights, BUT how can you rip our future (Sweet Lou) for his poor defense (he is only 21 for god's sake) and idolize Korver in the same piece. To say Korver was a "below average" defender is being way too kind. He stinks. The rest of his career is going to be spent as a respectable 8th or 9th man, not a 5th or 6th man like we were trying to make him. I have had great seats to games and personally seen the eyes light up of medicore players like Ricky Davis and Sprewell when Korver was guarding them. In fact, if Korver wasn't a corn-fed white boy, he would have been boo'd out of Philly a long time ago. I would have accepted a lot less to get rid of his contract, horrible defense, and momentum-killing 3's. I don't want to sound like a hypocrite because i praised BK for drafting Korver, but it turned out to be a solid pick because we ended up with a first rounder for him. Ricky !

As you guys are probably aware, Josh Smith could/should be a Sixer right now. Iggy is starting to grow on me, but I was rooting for the 76ers to take JS in that draft. They could have even traded down and taken Smith while receiving something for the trade. I am not going to harp on Billy King's drafting history, I actually think he did a very good job (Korver, Williams, Thad), even though Carney looks like a huge bust. Who knows, maybe Iverson would have liked throwing alley-ops to Smith, and things would have been different. It was clear to me that they was a riff developing between Iverson and Iggy/Korver/Green. Happy Holidays!

Yeah, Josh Smith is #1 in my list too, but I guess it's the same for many NBA franchises, LOL Basically he would fill in the best possible way the only big hole we have, at the PF spot (yes, he plays mainly SF, but he has the size of a PF...) He is in the same situation of Iguodala, a RFA, so it would probably be tough to get him but Ed is no Billy King so... :-) Jameson, welcome to S4G !!

I would prefer Josh Smith just because he would fit in the best for the best price.
