Just picked up Jason Kapono. With Elton Brand coming back healthy this gives the sixers some real depth and a good outside shooter 3 point threat off the bench. If below is their team the sixers look rather good, unless they move Iguodala to SG and start Kapono, this puts Green on the bench. Still looks nice.

PF - Elton Brand

SF - Andre Iguodala

C - Samuel Dalembert

SG - Willie Green

PG - Andre Miller

Bench

Thaddeus Young

Jason Kapono

Yeah, that would be a solid team in the East for sure. It will be interesting to see how they do if they can stay healthy.

If they stay healthy they would contest for a title. Only Boston and Orlando would be better.

They are trying to trade Dalembert. I wouldn't plan on him being on the team next season.

And the chances of them brigning back Andre Miller are like 2%.

Elton Brand is a horrible fit for the Sixers.

And KapoNOOOdontshoottheball is not that great.

I guess shooting 45% 3 pointers sucks then? No reason to attack him because he got traded to a better team.

BTW, he is tied with Steve Kerr for the highest 3 point % in NBA history and is one of only 29 players to shoot .400% or better behind the arc. YEAH, he most surely does suck. :roll:

Umm duh you are looking at his stat, if you see him play he suck, he is useless on the floor, he travel a lot and only shoot wide open 3's and don't put steve kerr and krapono in the same sentence because he's a very anti clutch but anyway he fit with sixers team so maybe he'll be good

im not really a raptors fan by the way but i don't think he is the best 3 point shooter ever because most of his 3's are useless and i think ray allen, reggie miller, larry bird, steve kerr are better than him. Oh yeah this suck for sixers because they have korver and they traded him for nothing

Too bad for you he was always bad teams and they weren't. Steve Kerr was worthless, as a starter he sucked and shouldn't be in the same sentence as bird or miller. And Kyle Korver? LOL! The same guy who has more turnovers and fouls per season than Kapono? The same guy who shot 35% 3's before he got shipped off? The same guy who shot 38% this season? THAT Kyle Korver? Who needs em! He wasn't really that good and the sixers are fine without his worthless butt.

Seems a lot of people are mad that he got traded. That is what is driving this hate, not truth.

HAHA the 76ers a threat? hahahahahah. You might want to put the bench center in place of Brand since he gets hurt the first game of EVERY season.

i'm not going to count them out, but I don't think getting Kapono will get them over the hump. They need Brand to play like the player he was when he started with the Clippers more then anything

Same here. When I read "The 76ers just got a lot better" I thought they got a player like Mehmet Okur, Josh Howard, Troy Murphy or some very good player, not Jason Kapono, a very solid but unidimensional 3-points shooter...
