When the Sixers took the court tonight for a scrimmage, Doug Collins decided to shuffle the lineup a bit. Gone from the first team was Spencer Hawes, in his place was rookie Craig Brackins. I doubt this move signifies anything more than a desire for Collins to see how different groups mesh on the floor, but I did take something positive out of it.

If you call Reggie Miller an all-time great, you'll probably get a fair amount of disagreement. His game wasn't perfect, but if you were looking for a guy to play between Jrue and Iguodala, you'd be hard pressed to do better than the Knick Killer.

(Pictured from left to right: Demoted, Deluded, Discarded, Departed).If you're feeling a little too good about yourself, I highly recommend looking back to how you felt about this team a year ago after the first day of training camp. |
I apologize for interrupting the Carmelo Anthony extravaganza, but a comment from Rich on the last post got me thinking about something that's actually relevant to the Sixers, so I thought I'd open the topic for discussion/voting.

Throughout the summer, I've been firmly planted on the negative side of the trade Iguodala for Melo debate. My logic has always been when you take the complete game into account, Melo is probably a slightly better player, but the difference between the two on the floor isn't worth the difference in salaries. I'd like to test the theory a bit, today.

Rod Thorn's first trade as the President of Basketball Operations in Philly finally rid this city of Willie Green. Adrian Wojnarowski broke the story on Twitter. Details after the jump.

We've identified the stats, we've examined their validity as recording stats and we've also taken a glimpse at their performance as predictors for the Sixers over the past four seasons. Today, we're going use the available data to see what each stat says about the 2010-2011 Sixers.

2. You are overstating diminishing returns. Berri has plenty of posts up on the subject....

In part one of the series we took a look at Wins Produced and Win Shares, then put them through their paces a bit in a retroactive way. Now it's time to test them out in a forward-looking way. Warning, math talk ahead.

If Elton Brand bounces back...If Evan Turner can turn into a legit number one...If Jrue Holiday makes a leap...If Spencer Hawes suddenly isn't a complete waste of space...If Andres Nocioni returns to his form of six seasons ago...If Doug Collins can get the front court to suddenly change their stripes and learn to defend. Pretty much every optimistic outlook on this team for 2010-2011 starts with one of those ifs. After the jump, and throughout the next couple of posts, we're going to take a look at what to expect if a miracle doesn't happen.

Setting aside, for a moment, Carmelo Anthony's tacit veto power over any trade made before February, can the Sixers put together a decent package for him? Let's take a look after the jump.

Ken Berger from CBS has a post tonight about how the Sixers -- and Nets -- could figure into the Carmelo Anthony trade drama. After the jump, we'll take a look at his logic, look at the various scenarios and then see if it's a trade worth making.
