Phins & Philly Sports
Another game, another blowout.
The Sixers are borderline unwatchable without MCW.Worst defense in the history of sports? I think so. Keep it up Sixers. Amazing the impact MCW has on the team. Entire team especially offense just looks much worse without him.
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/SBNation_20131219_EXCLUSIVE__Thaddeus_Young_Asks_Sixers_to_Trade_Him.htmlA source close to Thaddeus Young has told Liberty Ballers that even before hearing his name thrown around in Houston-related Omer Asik trade talk, Young submitted a formal trade request to the Sixers weeks ago.
My thoughts exactly. I was hoping he would still be around for the rebuild, but that doesn't appear to be the case. It's basically about Young's desire to play for a contending team, which in all honesty, never happened in Philly. Yeah, the team made the playoffs a few times, but they weren't really going anywhere. I'm sure a lot of teams around the league would love to have a guy like him coming off their bench.I have to admit, this is alarming to me, and not a good thing. Thad Young has been one of the classiest, hardest working team oriented players in the league since the day he stepped in Philadelphia. I have nothing but respect for the man. Being upset and requesting a trade is a pretty severe step for Young to take. Hopefully it's just a case of Young wanting to be given a bigger role on a team instead of something serious going on in the locker room. That being said, I wouldn't hate to see him traded for the right price. Love the guy as a 6th man, not a fan as a starter. Wherever he goes, I wish him nothing but the best. He deserves to go to a team competing for a championship and would make a great 6th man for any of the top teams in the league.
I saw a stat that with MCW they are 10-11. Without him, they are 1-10. As the year progresses, he may be sitting with "injuries".time to sit MCW with an "injury." Comes back and we start winning games again.
As the team is constructed now, they have too much talent to have the worst or second worst record in the league. They have the talent to get the 5th or 6th worst record in the league.4 in a row now. Thad Young looking like the league MVP since those trade rumors. Turner looking like a beast again after a slump. Not good. MCW may have suffered a concussion tonight though.
Tonight makes back to back blowouts. Things look to be right back where they were.
