Ebi listed in Sixers off season tracker

Adelaide was a much better team with Randle in it, there's no doubt about it. And the franchise was much better for him being there too - he created a buzz the Sixers haven't had in years.

He's a great offensive player, both scorer and passer. He was continually getting others guys involved. His biggest deficiency was his defence.

Anon, that proves my point. If guys are standing around watching, what is he meant to do?

I understand that he does handle the ball a lot but that doesn't mean he isn't involving team mates. The team just has to get used to playing hard when they don't have the ball.

Dave by the time he was out injured, the rest of the team was lost and just didn't respond. He did pass, but it wasn't with any consistency, so many times guys were standing and just watching.

Randle was second in the league in assists, its not like the guy doesnt pass.

DJs problems this season were much more than having a pass first point guard in the squad, which im sure can be corrected. It is more important to get a defensive big next to him.

Randle was looking to get players involved consitantly. Its not his fault if they cant make the most of it. They didnt do anything particularly impressive when he was out injured either.

I actually dont think Randle will be back. A verbal agreement doesnt mean shit, Samhan makes a heap of them. I also dont think itll be as bad as people think if he doesnt return. The 36ers were horrible before he arrived, and in the set up they had he was able to win some games bring in some crowds and save Joey's ass. BUT overall, no one else did a thing upon his arrival, especially DJ, so to maximise DJ''s contract i actually think a pass first PG is needed.

Jeez. Ebi and randle. both over rated. Randle wont be there the next season.

Pity joey didn't be made to elaborate a bit and admit to the poor choice from the get go. Paid a lot of money for a guy who played 3 games.

and the new coach is ... EBI!

maybe joey won't be back next season

Joey said at the Randle re-signing announcement that Ebi Ere definitely won't be back next season.

But that three(ish?) game tear late in the year that proved all the haters 'wrong'!

Oh dear god I hope not. Over the hill, out of shape never a good import choice from the get go. Sinir fat skin tests to the damn coach for god sake! Let the Ebi era be over...

Exactly. Boti would've talked to Joey and reported that Ebi isn't returning. If the club are still listing him somewhere, it's probably for fans who might be interested.

Joey has said Ebi wont be back so I wouldn't read anything into it.

The Chicago Bulls have a deal in place that would move Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards, freeing up enough cap space to pursue two maximum-salary players in this summer's free-agent market, sources with knowledge of the Bulls' plans said Thursday.
