Philadelphia 76ers Information:
The Philadelphia 76ers (also known as the Sixers for short) are a professional basketball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
As of Tuesday, December 19th, 2006, Allen Iverson, along with Ivan McFarlin, has been sent to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Andre Miller, forward Joe Smith, and two first-round draft picks.
On Thursday, January 11th, 2007, Sixers GM Billy King announced that the Sixers and aging forward Chris Webber have agreed to a buyout of the remainder of his contract. The Sixers will be paying Webber $36 million over the next 1 1/2 seasons, which is $7 million less than he would have been paid to play. After the buyout, the Sixers waived Webber, making him a free agent. Webber signed with the Detroit Pistons shortly thereafter.
In the midst of these major changes, the 76ers have looked to their younger players who must now take on greater responsibilty for the team's success. Rising stars Andre Iguodala and Kyle Korver have proven their worth by rewriting their career highs in points on different occasions. Throughout this season of transition, Philadelphia will look to build on their young team and, thereafter, to benefit from their three first-round picks in the 2007 NBA Draft, which many believe is the best draft pool in the last 10 years.
