Gary Ervin not coming back to sixers
Ervin gone means opportunity for someone else. When Ervin was injured last season the sixers played some of their best basketball without him. On the downside is he won at least 6 games off his own back due to his brilliance at the clutch. His ability to control the tempo of the game and execute the plays will be missed. Getting into spots defensively in the traffic and getting a hand on the ball is near impossible to replace.

Ervin wasn't perfect for the Sixers last season, but he was the best import we've had in forever. After the crap we've had dished up for a long time it was great to see an import who could make plays and entertain the crowd.
I think he also would've had a bigger impact if he hadn't had knee surgery and if Perth hadn't hit the jackpot with its imports. So I guess I'm disappointed he isn't coming back as I think he would've had a better season next time.
Having said that, I'm reasonably confident Joey will find a good replacement, but whoever it is will have to be a go to scorer.
As we've seen before, Gibson is not cut out to be the closer and DJ is the only other go to guy who might be on the team.
Sixers are definitely going to need two impact imports or we will drop back to the pack again next season.

If DJ doesn't come back the money will be there for two good imports not just one
