BLOCKBUSTER OF THE CENTURY!

Oh Ed Stefanski, you sly fox. First, you made it appear as though the Sixers weren't going to make any moves. Then you go out and blow everyone's doors off with this franchise-altering blockbuster:

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a trade that will send Jodie Meeks and Francisco Elson to the Philadelphia 76ers for Primoz Brezec, Royal Ivey and a second-round draft pick, two league sources told ESPN.com NBA Insider Chad Ford.

Holy shit! Stop the presses! Championship here we come! Ugh.

Now I'm not saying this isn't a fine deal for the Sixers. In fact, I think it's clearly a move that favors the Sixers. But man, this franchise needs an overhaul. That's not an opinion. That's a fact. Stefanski has completely and utterly crippled this team by signing Andre Iguodala to a way too expensive contract while also signing a washed-up, injured "power forward" who never once made any of his NBA teams better … and played at Duke. For $80 million. Over five seasons.

Call me crazy, but I don't think Jodie Meeks and Francisco Elson can even begin to help fix that. Though, you know, unloading Samuel Dalembert's contract and, yes, even moving Iguodala may have been a start.

But hey, Jodie Meeks! He scored a ton of points in college once!



On a seriously bright note, perhaps this means less playing time for Willie Green, which would be awesome. Also, I do kinda like Meeks.













Maybe he can be the new end-of-game shot guy too. Because we all know this team desperately needs one.

EDD-IE! EDD-IE! EDD-IE!

BallHype: hype it up!
