Let's say the rumors are true and Larry Brown is brought in to be the basketball Messiah for the Sixers in the coming hours, days or weeks. Whether you're pro-Larry or not, one thing is for sure. When he's given the reins he will make at least one head-scratching trade. After the jump, let's see if we can guess who he'll target.

I was enjoying the concept a bit more until 'larry brown, team president' was uttered...

Adrian Wojnarowski reported on the Larry Brown situation earlier today, and it seems to me like there might be some weight to these rumors. The latest revolves around LB coming back to Philly as President of Basketball Operations, and he supposedly has his eye on Milt Newton, one of his former players, to come in as GM and Mike Woodson to take over as coach. Thoughts after the jump.

Take a gander at the Sixers team page on 82games.com, I'll wait. Two particular numbers jumped out at me, opponent's production vs. Lou (17.2) and vs. Jrue (19.9). 15.0 is supposedly league-average, the lower the number, the better. Having watched every second of Sixers basketball this season, I can emphatically tell you Lou Williams isn't half the defender Jrue Holiday is, so how do you explain that number? We'll give it a try after the jump.

I've never seen a player whose def stance looks like his back went out once he crosses half court. Just kills me...

Ed Stefanski's masterstroke, Elton Brand, is fodder for the fourth installment in the Feelings On series. Discuss after the jump.

I wish they'd hold the NBA draft lottery the day after the season ended. This period between the final game and the lottery drawing is pure agony. There's only so much research you can do, only so many scenarios you can run. Still, this is the hand we've been dealt, so I decided to tackle some math and break down Chad Ford's lottery/mock draft machine as well. Check it out after the jump.

Up next in our "Feelings On" series, Mr. Thaddeus Young. A prodigy his rookie season, emerging as a number-one scoring option late in his sophomore year, only to regress to the point of irrelevance under the watchful eye of Fast Eddie Jordan. What do you see Thad's role as going forward in Philly?

As many of you know, Synergy Sports has opened up their database to the masses. For $30 you can access a version of their service created for the masses. Click here for the details (make sure your computer can handle it before you buy). I expect to be spending way too much time looking at the video and granular stats they provide for the remainder of the summer, and I'll share my thoughts with you as I go along. Today, Jrue's post defense.

You can consider this an open letter to Comcast, at least the Comcast employees who are directly responsible for decisions concerning the Sixers. You can consider this a plea from a fan, or perhaps a segment of fans who love this once proud franchise. But more importantly, consider this as a business plan for not only returning the Philadelphia 76ers to prominence in the NBA, but filling the seats at the Wachovia Center.

Jodie Meeks: Ballboy? Waste of a 2010 second round pick? Gunner extraordinaire? Viable rotational player? My feelings after the jump, yours in the comments.

Rebuild, retool, blow up...whichever is your preference, it's important to take stock before any decisions are made. After the jump, we'll take a look at the current roster, broken down by position, in an effort to identify needs on a production basis.

Whether it's Ed Stefanski, Larry Brown, Jeff Van Gundy or a complete unknown calling the shots for the Sixers going forward is almost immaterial. The only thing that matters to me is the vision and the plan to achieve it.

Frequent reader Rob was among about 500 season ticket holders and sponsors to attend the Sixers practice and scrimmage on Saturday night at St. Joe's. Check out his notes and more pictures after the jump.

John Hollinger has released his player PER projections for the upcoming seasons, we'll take a look at the Sixers on his list after the jump.

With training camp in the books, it's time to take the pulse. Eddie Jordan was brought in to move this franchise forward. He brings the Princeton offense along with him as a the magical solution to their offensive woes, but has his arrival raised more questions than it has answered? After the jump, let's hear how much confidence you have in Coach Jordan.

Here's a quick quote from Eddie Jordan to hopefully get your weekend started off on the right foot.
