Bye Bye Slammin Sammy


In my opinion Samuel Dalembert was not a bad player for the Sixers, he just wasn't the right fit. In his years with the Sixers his numbers were good, but it was frustrating for everyone because Sammy had so much potential but he just never developed into the dominant player everyone had hoped for. So on Thursday when it was announced that the Sixers had traded center Samuel Dalambert to the Kings in exchange for Andres Noiconi and Spencer Hawes, I was extremely happy because I think that it is best for both sides. As athletic and explosive as Sammy could be at times, he never found his place here in Philadelphia. He would score 20 and rip down 15 boards one night, and then the next night get into foul trouble and be a non-factor. Im also happy with the players the Sixers are bringing in. Andres Nocioni is a guy who can come off the bench for you and really contribute with both scoring and on defense. I also like the 7-footer Spencer Hawes who is young and has a a lot of potential. Going by his numbers, he is definitely going to bring more of an offensive presence to this team. I really like what the Sixers are doing this off season, they are young and have a lot of potential. Im very excited to see how Doug Collins will put it all together.
