"...How many times have we heard shallow responses
from the Sixers like “we’re trying hard” and “we’re

Before Billy King exited stage right, Sixers director
of scouting (Tony DiLeo) said that they would not
consider making trades until they’ve reached the 20 game mark. Saturday’s blowout win over the Knicks was their 20th game. They entered Monday’s contest against the Rockets with a 7-13 record. A quick assessment weighs the value of the roster and determines that the most important is Cheeks..
Says MVN's Jon Burkett, "It was a busy
day at Passion and Pride. I was mostly a
commenting fool, while Sean and Anthony hit the press with fresh thoughts. Sean posted the initial breaking news in the 4 o’clock hour, beating the sun from rising over the Atlantic Ocean. I dropped the first comment to his post at 4:21am. We were off and running..."

check it out.
The campaign is on. Please don't wait until
the Sixers are competitive to vote for Andre Iguodala
in the All-Star game. He was already robbed of the 2006 Slam Dunk title and Sixers GM Billy King failed to lock him up to a long-term deal this summer. You can send a message loud and clear to the league and to Sixers management. Submit your votes at Passion and Pride...

late last night and replaced by Nets GM Ed Stefanski. Passion and Pride's Sean Watts has the story...
Dear Mr. Answer, Kudos to you on a
sterling performance on Sunday versus our beloved Sixers. You
always exclaimed your love for the city and the fans, making yourself a “Sixer for life.” It’s too bad that things didn’t end better for you in Philly, but sometimes all’s well that ends well doesn’t apply. However, you still hold a place in a lot of hearts ...

Operations John Hammond will be officially named the Bucks'
new general manager as early as Monday. Especially in light of the recent speculation about names such as Rick Sund and Billy King, the hiring of Hammond looks to be a fantastic start to the offseason.
Chris McGann, Angela Galloway and Craig Harris report
in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: The Legislature said no, so

With the NFL season beginning, there is something
that NFL fans get to look forward too, MMQB
by Peter King. Peter King is the must read for any diehard football fan. I look forward to quality writing about the NFL every Monday and Tuesday. Peter King is a must read Monday, which leads me to my point of who is the must read columnist for the NBA?
