Anthony Bennett Hype Thread

Bennett/Budinger/Jose Theodore Jersey for Henderson/Kaman.

Trade must take place 60 days after draft night as Henderson was involved in a multi-player trade and I need time to dryclean the jersey.

Welcome back Jason.

Would much rather have ab than gr3. I think letting bennett go will end up being a mistake.

Thanks Monster. Gotta love the weekday off before a weekend holiday.

Yeah it was a pleasant surprise that I had it off. I'm cleaning out the poo poo plater out of my garage.

LOL. Just remember: Some of that Poo Poo Platter might turn out to be Ben Wallace, so don't be so fast to trade it for the promise of a healthy Grant Hill.

He's one of the worst NBA players and I watched his interviews and the kid just doesn't seem to have the drive or passion to be a great player. The reality is this kid should have been drafted somewhere in the top 5 to 10 spots in a weak draft. He has a nice wingspan and some athleticism, but he doesn't seem to have a very good basketball IQ and lacks the drive to be a star. We just need to cut our losses with this kid. Give the roster spot to someone who can help the team now or in the future. Lack of passion is not a good thing to have on a team. You want guys that are contagiously excited to play basketball. We've seen all we need to see. I hope we can trade him for someone who thinks like you do and get an asset for him.

What makes you think he dosen't have the drive. If he didn't he wouldn't be doing those intense workouts, how confidence is damaged, he might never be anything but to get rid of him when the cap is going up is stupid in my opinion. And you want gr3 who was never the best player on his team in college and draft stock went down year after year and who might not make the Sixers

I'm taking cash considerations and people are even some taking stuff off my hands for free! My salary cap space is looking good.

The narrative of these posts could honestly almost be used for either player and I am a fan of GR3.

Fairly or unfairly, when a guy is the son of a highly-paid former athlete, if they don't explode out the gate, they get that label. Steve Young stuck it on Chris Simms, and "GR2" made a lot more money than Phil Simms. Joakim Noah and Steph Curry never heard that because they got it done from the start, and now all we get are heartwarming camera shots of Yannick and Dell in the crowd.

I haven't seen enough of GR3 on the court or off to make a judgement, but what I am willing to say is to not read that much into what PHI is doing. If GR3 is not winning them a title, they need that roster spot for a salary dump.
