     So I know a lot of people say that the Sixers biggest need is a legit 5. I do agree that this is a huge need, but IMO we NEED, more then anything, a guy who can consistently shoot, a #1 scoring option if you will. Lets say we trade Iggy for a Center. This would probably be the Sixers starting Line-up next year

    Holliday

    Meeks

    Young

    Brand

    C picked up from Iggy

    There is no one in that lineup that is a 1st team scoring option. 

    So, how can the Sixers fill this need. I have hopes for guys like Rudy Gay or James Harden, but they are probably going no where. Who do you guys think would help the Sixers who is a actual potential target?

    Have you forgotten about Evan Turner??? Come on.. If they trade Iggy, its because they are ready to turn the team over to Turner..

    theres a few different combos the philly papers have talked about as far as starting lineups.. All depends on who is moved, but at the end of the day, we need a 5 who can defend (not like sammy D though, he disappears for huge stretches in games)… We also need another scorer.

     Then we need a scoring 3. Turner is not a good shooter (yet) and it would be the same thing as before. Especially if you are putting a lineup out of 

    Holliday

    Turner

    Young

    Brand

    Center from Iggy trade

    That lineup still cannot shoot. Maybe Turner will learn, but I am not counting on it. I think I speak for all Sixers fans that its hard watching Iggy be your #1 option late in games. I love Iggy, a lot more then most sixers fans, but he is not a #1 scorer.

    Jodie Meeks is a nice shooter from deep and Holiday has shown the potiental to be very solid from there.  I think that a Kevin Martin type player would be a nice return from Iggy… Kevin Martin and Brad Miller for Iggy and a second round pick.. 

    Resign Hawes, keep Meeks, play Turner as a PG/SF and let Martin always be the 2 guard.  Start:

    Holiday
    Martin
    Turner
    Brand
    Miller
    (Bench)
    Meeks
    Nocioni
    Young
    Hawes

    Then take Darius Morris with the 16th pick and Keith Bensen or Jeremy Tyler with the 40something pick.

    Yeah.. I had forgotten about Lou Williams.. Now that I consider him, I want to change my mind with that pick… Marshon Brooks???

    Kevin Martin is the EXACT player I was thinking of. A guy who can put up 22 ppg and has a great stroke. I would actually consider taking Tyler in the 1st but Brooks would be nice too.

    I don’t see Houston giving up Miller unless they’re getting a good big man in return. Yao isn’t exactly going to be able to step in.
