It's Always Stupid In Billy King's Cranium, Who Works in Philadelphia

3
Vote

by user Detroitown

Despite all the buzz surrounding Allen Iverson's near-escape from Philly, it appears A.I. will remain a 76er until he dies (can sign somewhere else).

Despite Billy King's idiocy, which we dubbed Bidiocy, just for him, he actually made a good decision (for once).

1. Philly keeps Iverson, their entire franchise since the departure of Charles Barkley.

2. After what we saw in Sacramento, it's obvious C-Webb doesn't ever deserve his own team. Even if it means being captain for a pickup game at the YMCA.

On the Flip Side....

If you, the reader, are baffled by this non-move, you have the exact feelings toward this team's future as the team's GM.

Why?

Because he's a moron:

...but maybe the team's president and general manager, Billy King, has some grand plan that no one has been clued in to.

Wrong, Stephen A. Billy King is the one that is clueless.

Philly's on top of a hill right now. Bear with us, this would customarily mean that the Sixers have just won a bunch of championships and are at the prime of a dynamic, historic run. But they're not, they are what Philly fans describe as "shitty". They can either deal Iverson for talented young bucks and/or draft picks and either push forward for something new and conceivably better, or (what will likely happen) fall off the hill backward in a mound of dog shit.

Billy King, you can make this work.

Just don't, for the love of God, listen to your instincts.

How does Boston feel right now? Being teased and punked by Billy King? The Bidiot. The King of Confusion dangling success over your heads like we dangle five dollar bills over the homeless (our favorite target today, despite the fact that our poor decision-making conjectures that we, someday, will become homeless.).

Sorry, just rubbing it in.

Hey, at least the Pats still have Willie McGinest and the place kicker that won basically all of their Superbowls for them.

Iverson will never win a championship. The Sixers will float as a fringe playoff team / lottery team for the next few years. They will then crash and burn, and the rebuilding process will begin. The Sixers will not be the team from Philadelphia that will end the Philadelphia Sports Drought.

I'd rather them keep AI than trade him and get the Barkley disaster all over again. Everyone acts like it's so simple. Trade AI, get all this young talent and draft picks. You stink for a year or so, the talent develops, you draft Lebron James and you're back. It's NOT that simple. That's not how things work. The likelihood is that you'll trade AI for some overpaid, underachiever or 2 with a year or so left on their deals. You may get a late round pick out of the deal. Then you hope the year you have a top lottery pick that there's a guy worth taking that will impact your team. If tearing it up and stating over again was so easy, why have the ATL Hawks sucked gfor so long? Frankly I'd rather watch AI do some great things on the court for the next few years than watch the drek of a team that thinks they are rebuilding, but really aren't.
