David Cooper signs with Sixers
I really like this signing. The 6ers dont need an allstar at the C, they need someone big enough to fill the lanes up a bit and shotblocking is a plus. We won titles with just Rees at the C. Now we have Rees and a servicable backup, regardless of whether Cooper or Rees is starting. Jacob and Dusty are both good rebounders, with some height and size in the middle and i think this team will be a good rebounding team, which is essential for the style of basketball Phil coaches.
Losing Cat can be covered as Jacob is ready to start at SF, and many bemoaned CT last season. We aren't losing much having Brett as PG in terms of passing, but we have now got alot more scoring in our backcourt.
Barring major injury i think the 6ers will make top 4 this season.




B Antoine Walker.
Isn't it great that we go out and sign a sort of athletic stick man from another state when we had a truly athletic powerful big man who was never asked or even considered for the position?
Yay.

Despite criticisms, I think the 36ers learnt their lessons last year with the cap, better than anyone else in the league, and learnt to deal with it quickly.
Though, if Farley falls through... what then?

The addition of David will definately bolster the chances this coming season. Im assuming we didnt pay him a great deal which works well.
Bring on the season as we actually have some size ( not massive but fairly long )now and may not give up 3rd and 4th opportunities on the defensive boards like we did last season.
Management are doing OK i suppose. We gotta give some credit, the season may not be a dead loss like I thought it was going to be a number of months ago.. Lets jump back on the band wagon and get people buying up the season tickets and get the DOME(tin shed) pumping next season.
