The Sixers made an interesting traded today, sending Willie Green and Jason Smith to the New Orleans Hornets for veteran forward Darius Songaila and rookie forward Craig Brackins. Songaila is just good a shooter and you can never have too many of those off the bench. Brackins, originally the 1st round pick of the Oklahoma City Thunder out of Iowa State before being traded to New Orleans, is an athletic big man who can score in multiple ways, including running the floor, so he'll fit well in the Sixers up tempo, run first attack. He'll probably also come off the bench. It's hard to say if the Sixers really improved with this trade but they did at least get rid of some of the weak links on the team.

It never hurts to have young talent and the Sixers werent reallly relying on Willie Green or Smith to bring them into the playoffs so the trade makes sense to me but I suppose we'll have to wait and see if its a good one.

yeah we'll see but at this point there's not much to be optimistic about
