    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Nocioni, Andr?s; Argentina, Forward - People who saw Nocioni throw down his monster dunks in the faces of Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett during the 1999 World Basketball Championship qualifying tournament will never forget what they saw. Standing only 6'7", Nocioni plays taller than most players. He thrives in physical games, taking charges and bullying his way to the basket. But he is more than muscle and long hair. He has a great shooting touch. Expect him to make a huge impact in Athens. He plays in Spain now, but NBA scouts have been watching the status of his contracts for a long time now.</div>

    this guy sounds like a decent talent. The sixers could use the toughness that his game has, but we already are pretty stocked at the position. Who would be the odd man out if he were signed?

    To get rid of Buckner needs to go Korver is going to get killed because he can't d up. Snow an Robinson should be getting traded. An Buckner somehow needs to go also.

    Many of those players need to go because they are horrible athletes, especially Kyle and Greg. However, to let Kyle go would be a stupid decision, and make Billy look even stupider than he already is. Kyle can transform into a great player, he already has a nice shooting touch, he just needs to focus more on court awareness. So to clear (cap) space for signing Andries would be nice, but Billy's not that smart.

    this is the year for Billy King to prove his worth as a GM. He totally messed up last year, he better start making some decent decisions (I miss Pat Croce)
