The Sixers will become a contender in how many seasons? As of now, We have a 2 year rebuild setup as a blue print with the opportunity to be strong contenders by the 2035 season |

given you are rebuilding, what do you think you need from the upcoming draft to reach the next level, whatever that level maybe?

given you are rebuilding, what do you think you need from the upcoming draft to reach the next level, whatever that level maybe? We are hoping to get an All-Star level, core piece player via draft this year. Nothing specific in mind, but basically starting with a blank slate we'll be drafting best player available and hope it can be someone that'll have an important role with the franchise moving forward. |

What the fuck made you leave for 20 seasons and randomy return. Also what was your thought when you saw it still goin My abrupt departure for all those seasons was a personal leave of absence. Had to step back, take a break from all the harsh responsibilities of a GM and enjoy life a little bit. I was amazed when this was still running, but not really surprised as the league had a strong core and great management running it. |

How would you rate the wolves current GM 1-10 in regards to how you left the team. Do you think you could have done better? Worse? About the same?

Brought in 2 championship and multiple MVP's for my main man and crown jewel of that team Derrick Rose. Can't complain with the results as rings are hard enough as is to get, but I believe I would've done better because the team was already tailor made for me and I knew it's strengths, weaknesses, and needs |

I don't know where these fake reports came from, but I have never been or even been in danger of being CYed. Playoffs are too easy to make that unless you prolong tanking any half competent GM should be able to avoid CY |

What trade do you think we could work out that would make us both better. What do you think my team is lacking as well as yours

you a fan of anyone other than Ewing on your squad? planning in keeping anyone for the long run Although no one else is on Ewing's level on this team, there are a couple of other players that hold value to us moving forward. First off is our point guard Ty Hudson. We project him as a mid-tier starter or Great sixth man. His ability to both put the ball in the hoop, and distribute is very valuable and even though we're still evaluating he has a future with this team. Next is Beka Berjanadze who is VERY RAW offensively, but the raw tools he brings to the table defensively are impossible to find so we'll see what role he'll fill for us in a few years but we can surely find a spot for him. Lastly is Byron Scott who will get a chance to prove if he fills a role longterm |

What do you think my team is lacking as well as yours As two teams in different stages of rebuild, I don't really see much deals that make much sense for both sides. You have a premier 2nd year player in Jan who is similiar to Ewing in that any team would be honored to have them & they're building blocks. You also have some other solid prospects that I like but wouldn't be able to pay the price for |

If you could build around anyone other than Shaq, who would you pick in this league? Consider age so for example MJ is 25

He does it all as a wing, and it's almost a sure forelock that he wins rings during his career with many prime years left & room for development. Shaq is in the same category in my opinion, Rings coming to Philly soon |

Pretty busy day in Philly. How satisfied are you with the transactions made today? Very pleased, but certainly not satisfied. There will be more moves coming soon. We essentially lost nothing as the Celtics & Wizards picks are currently a wash while shedding contracts and picking up 2 future 1sts. Happy with our trade deadline activeness and would rate it a solid A |

What were the fondest/most memorable things you remembered from your previous stint here?
Also, a lot has changed since the last time you were GM here, what are some of the biggest changes you've noticed and how would you compare that era to this era?

What were the fondest/most memorable things you remembered from your previous stint here? Also, a lot has changed since the last time you were GM here, what are some of the biggest changes you've noticed and how would you compare that era to this era? My fondest memory from the previous era definitely has to be my 2006 off-season. This is when I made a trade for my 2nd top 4 pick of the draft and walked away with Rudy Gay & Brandon Roy who I had rated the too 2 players. Also made the move for a future pick which ended up becoming Derrick Rose which was my favorite lotto win ever. Some of the biggest changes I've noticed are the different draft stipulations which surely make things interesting as well as all the built up history. I've never been in a league that has lasted this long & it's great looking at all the pasts busts and guys who blossomed. That era had strong GM's at the top, but after weeding plenty guys out think this one definitely has better GM depth. Another thing I notice is that in FBB the elite GM's will always put together the best teams, bad luck isn't really an excuse |
