Thanks, Sixers. Seriously, thanks for absolutely NOTHING! In case you missed it (and I'm guessing most of you did), the Sixers friggin' won again tonight, beating the Hornets 89-78.
Clearly, this team is pissing away the opportunity to draft Oden or Durant (who dropped 37 points and 23 boards on Bobby Knight and Texas Tech last night), unless somehow they get lucky in the lottery and leap frog Boston and Memphis. This totally sucks. I was totally looking forward to following the Sixers again. Oh well, the positivity was nice while it lasted. Maybe Mr. Snider should have Peter Forsberg come talk to these guys and tell them how to tank the season properly.
It's now no longer a debate. Billy King is the worst executive in Philadelphia history. Even Lee Thomas and Russ Farwell look like a geniuses in comparison. First, he built such a horrible supporting cast around AI that the poor guy finally went insane and asked to be traded. That move seemed to be exactly what the franchise needed as the AI trade made the team bad enough to contend for the top overall pick in the Oden/Durant NBA Draft. Most recently, the Sixers jettisoned team cancer, Chris Webber, through a buy out funded by a truckload of Comcast money. However, removing C Webb from the equation seems to be the move that has propelled the Sixers to win five of their last eight games.
Poor Billy King can't win for losing....or should I say, he can't lose for winning.

"Poor AI" ate up all of the salary cap money and made nobody on the floor around him a better player. I hope the season somehow blows up in his face in Denver.
