76ers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:02:29 PDT

The Sixers insisted they would take the best guard available—regardless of position—despite seemingly needing a point more because unrestricted free agent Andre Miller can leave after July 1 and there is no replacement on the roster.

At No. 17, the Sixers went with UCLA guard Jrue Holiday. Holiday, who declined to work out for Philly because he expected to go much earlier, impressed them with his defense, athleticism, decision-making and his maturity despite just turning 19.

"We're thrilled," said team president Ed Stefanski. "We liked Jrue Holiday, but we didn't think he was going to get to us. You sit there and you're patient. There was no discussion among the group.

76ers seek top guard with 17th pick in NBA draft (AP)

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:02:08 PDT

The 76ers showed off their spiffy new logo, a design that was really just a return to the old-school brand from some of their glory years. The cosmetic changes are always easier to fix. Finding a way to recapture those days on the court, when All-Star players and winning records went together in Philadelphia like cheese and steak, has proved a more formidable task for the Sixers.

The logo, last used during the 1996-97 season, consists of a color scheme originally established in 1963 and used during the Sixers' two championship seasons in 1966-67 and 1982-83.

Prosecutors asked the judge to reconsider the sentencing delay due to Williams' recent run-ins with the law, saying he has become "unpredictable." In...

Kapono ready to give 76ers long-range boost (AP)

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:10:44 PDT

Jason Kapono is a sure shot to make in impact in Philadelphia all because of his long shot. No active player in the NBA is as accurate in his career from 3-point range than Kapono. No team in the NBA was worse from 3-point range last season than the Philadelphia 76ers. Even a down year by Kapono's standards (43 percent) in 2008-09 would have been good enough to top Sixers regulars.

The Philadelphia 76ers have traded forward Reggie Evans to the Toronto Raptors for shooter Jason Kapono. Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski says the trade addresses Philadelphia's goal of getting better from the perimeter. Kapono's .454 shooting percentage on 3-pointers is tied with Steve Kerr for the best in NBA history.
