Hello every one an welcome to another edition of the Bob Allen Show. Today we have 2 guests from the Sixers basketball team, Anfernee Hardaway an Rodney Rogers.
Allen- Thanks guys for joining us today an welcome to the show
Penny- Glad to be here, an just call me Penny.
Roy- Also good to be here an call me Roy.
Allen- So what is up with the Penny nickname?
Penny- I was raised by my grandmother while my mother was away working. My nickname came as a result of my grandmother's calling me "Pretty" with a southern drawl, thus sounding like "Penny. An so the nickname stuck.
Allen- An Roy?
Roy- The guys in the clubhouse call me Roy after Roy Rodgers, dunno why. They just do.
Allen- First question is, how did you each feel able this teams success or failure for this year after the draft was done?
Penny- Well to be honest i thought we had a decent chance to make a run for the playoffs. We had a decent PG in Cassell, an a decent big in Bradley.
Roy- I agree with Penny. We also had Grant at PF an Marshall at SF. Adding up those guys with Penny an myself it looked like a solid starting 5 with a decent 6th man.
Allen- So next question is, how do you each feel about the team now that the new GM Don has started to tear this team apart?
Roy- It sucks! I mean with those 4 guys gone an being replaced with less skilled players our team most likely will be 8th seed at the best if we get to the playoffs.
Penny- Man Roy don't even go there. Playoffs, hell no, no chance. Your now looking at a 2 man team, Roy an myself.
Allen- Well Penny do you think its possible to make the playoffs with a dynamic duo of yourself an Roy?
Penny- Not hardly. We would need a big infusion of talent like the players who were traded to do any good. An i just dont see it happening.
Allen- So now that it appears that GM Don is going the rebuild route with this team, do either one of you want to stay here, or be traded.
Penny- I want to be traded. I am 29 an most likely have about 5 good years left in the tank. An so i need to go to a team that needs a decent scorer like myself to get them into the playoffs. I really do not need to waste my time on a rebuilding team as when they get good then my time will be up.
Roy- Well i am really open to anything. It would be nice to get traded to a contender, but if i need to play out the next 2 years of my contract, then i will an then i will hit another team in free agency.
Allen- So both of you guys really want to leave.
Roy- Yep.
Penny- Hell yes.
Allen- Do either one of you know why Don is tearing the team apart an going the rebuild route?
Roy- I havent heard anything from him myself. But reading the papers an such i heard his reason was that he did not draft this team.
Penny- Yeah an that he quote 'had no attachment to this team an wanted to build it his way.'
Allen- Well has Don had any conversation with either of you 2 about being traded?
Penny- Not at all. I dont think he has talked with any one on this team. I just think he jumped into the GM position an went to trading.
Roy- No conversation with me either. I have no clue what is going on.
Allen- If you each have to stay here all season long what might be a realistic finish for this team?
Roy- Maybe 8th seed at best.
Penny- Not a chance in hell making the playoffs, 30 wins tops.
Allen- What do you each feel like will be your contributions to this team?
Penny- You talking about points, rebounds an such?
Allen- Well that, an also what can you bring to the table in skills?
Penny- Well i can score inside or out. I also have decent handles an i can play either the PG or SG positions. An i am a decent rebounder for a guard. I most likely will score 25-28 ppg, 6-7 rpg an depending on where i am played, 5-9 apg.
Roy- 18-20 points an solid defense.
Allen- Well we are about out of time. Anything else either one of you want to add to the conversation?
Roy- Not really. What happens, happens.
Penny- Get me the hell out of here!
Allen- Thanks again for being with us here today an good luck this year. Tune in again for the next episode of the Bob Allen Show.
