The biggest joke in Pro Sports, the NBA's Eastern Conference is enabling the Sixers of all teams to be in a playoff race. Didn't we hear this last year?
And, they're 9 games below .500! What a joke.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see the youngsters playing good ball. Stefanski implemented an effective system that utilizes an up-tempo offense and the trade of Kyle Korver has enabled players like Thaddeus Young and Rodney Carney to get more playing time.
But, the fact remains this team needs to reach it's low point before making that climb back up to the pinnacle.
In any sport you have to reach the lowest of lows to get those high draft choices. The Sixers haven't done this yet. Last year they had a great shot at it and chose to go on a senseless 7-game winning streak.
Now, this season they're doing the same damn thing rather than doing what should be done and that's trading Andre Miller and moving Andre Iguodala.
Yes, I said it. They need to trade Andre Iguodala. He is a nice player, someone that I'd pay no more than $7-$8 million per season. But, he wants more than $11 million per year. After all, he rejected a 5-year $55 million offer by Billy King before the season began.
How insane is that?
This team needs a big-time post player. Those are the players you hand out big money too, not dime a dozen "athletes" like Andre Iguodala.
And, by moving Miller and Iguodala for draft picks and cap relief they will increase their odds at landing a franchise point guard like Derrick Rose or a potential franchise player like forward Michael Beasley or center DeAndre Jordan.
The trade deadline is on the horizon, but the Sixers appear in no hurry to move either player. And, that's a mistake.

Danny Snyder is back
The biggest idiot in pro sports is back at it again and I'm talking about Redskins owner Daniel Snyder.
He screwed himself out of landing an up and coming coach in Steve Spagnuola by having an offensive coordinator already in place. So, what did this dope do?
He promoted the offensive coordinator he hired (Jim Zorn) to head coach.
Wha-what?
Yep-he promoted a former quarterback coach from Seattle to head coach.
And, sure some people may point to Andy Reid being of the same ilk (he was a QB coach in Green Bay) but this move reeks of disaster.
Snider is running the show in Washington and has a puppet back in there as coach now that Gibbs is gone. This certainly means the Eagles won't finish last next season.
