SIXERS NEWS
The Sixers made some rare noise this afternoon trading C Samuel Dalembert to the Sacramento Kings for C Spencer Hawes and F Andres Nocioni. Dalembert has wanted out of Philly for some time now so it's no surprise to see him go and this was a pretty nice way to get rid of him. Hawes is a 7 footer like Dalembert but unlike Sammy he can score inside and shoot the 3. He can also run the floor much better than Sammy could which is perfect for a team that's at their best on the run. The only issue with Hawes is that he isn't much of a defender. He can rebound but that's about it. He is only in 3rd NBA season Howeverm so he has plenty of time to improve his defese. Nocioni is another good 3 point shooter like Jason Kapono who will probably be a valuable commodity off the bench for the Sixers. You can never too many good shooters on one team so it's nice to get him also. Now it's on to next week and the NBA draft where hopefully the Sixers will be smart and select Evan Turner.

Sammy wanted to go and he got his wish. I cant say I'm really sad to see him go, although I'm not happy to see him go either. Like you said you can never have too many shooters and with the draft coming up I think the Sixers can become a better team than they were last season.

yes I think they can be better than last year also. I mean you can't get much lower than they were last year
