[...] with our friend over at Sixers 4 Guidos (love the new banner by the way Ricky!). Ricky is doing a Sixer-by-Sixer 07/08 breakdown just as we are here on the Recliner. He has started with in both our opinions the team MVP Andre [...]

Ricky, since you’re in Europe, and maybe you watch Euroleague, I thought maybe you’d seen these guys in action: Danilo Gallinari, Nicolas Batum, Alexis Ajinca and Nikola Pekovic. How do you feel about those guys in Sixers unis? Gallinari probably won’t be around when we pick, but there’s a chance we trade down and be in a slot where we could pick him up. The others will definitely be around at 16.

welcome to Sixers4guidos Sixerzguy. So now we have Sixerguy and you, I have to be careful with the names

I agree with you, he was fantastic. Honestly Miller’s age should NOT be a concern in my opinion, he never had bad injuries (double knock on wood) and, mainly, his style of basketball does not rely much on athleticism: I think he has at least two more years at this level + maybe 2-3 in a reserve role in a top team (like Gary Payton, say, or Mark Jackson did)

As for Sixers options at PG, next year I would love to see if Lou Williams can be our future point guard by giving him more minutes and, mainly, playing him more at the point

And yes, we would need a 3rd PG also, since Ollie will (hopefully, LOL) hang ‘em up. How about giving a chance to Koponen? Play him in the Summer League !

Ricky, Andre Miller was fantastic. I think one of the things that happened in the playoffs was that he just got tired. He was on The Wages of Wins Journal’s list of the top 15 PGs of 2007-2008, and of all the guys, he played the most minutes. If we’re signing him long-term, Mo cannot let that happen again; I want Miller at around 30 mins/game from now on. It makes me wonder if one key free agent signing we need to have is a veteran backup point guard Mo would trust (but better than Kevin Ollie), just to give our best player more rest. Maybe we trade Willie Green for that guy? Mike James? Or Mo just gives LouWill more playing time at the point, using him primarily as Miller’s backup. Miller is 32! There’s no way he should be playing more minutes than Chris Paul!
