Looks to me like the same old Sixers, Iverson and a bunch of role players around him. They got to the finals that way, albeit the role players back then were better.
Deke that year was way better then Delambert is right now.
Snow was in his prime, now he is just gone for nothing.
McKie was younger and a very capable sub, not an aging bad contract.
Tyrone Hill was rock solid, a very good defender and had good size, I never liked the undersized Kenny Thomas at PF, there is a reason he got traded away from the Rockets for nothing.
Lynch was on that team too, a very good defender and tough nosed player.
Sixers are just too young to compete right now. Green, Salmons, Iguadola is a rook in the Darius Miles mold, as in no range, so he will take some time to develop. Big Dog is really really past his prime, kinda like Rice a few years ago. Korver is a poor man's version of Steve Kurr except he has no Joradan, Pippen and Kukoc to be the 4th option at the 3pt line and be left open. All you have to do is just stick with him and double AI with somebody else.
AI is already banged up in the Olympics, how many games will he miss?
Overall, I can't see them being a threat.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?
