Reggie Miller Gives Impromptu Clinic For Sixers

Sep 30, 2010 1:39 AM

Even though Reggie Miller was at Philadelphia's training camp on Wednesday for a media interview of Doug Collins, the Sixers' head coach had the longtime member of the Pacers give an impromptu clinic.

"I was somewhat bamboozled by coach," Miller said. "I thought I was coming here and observe practice ... but once I started to watch practice and saw what coach was teaching, I kind of got excited because I'm an old-school kind of guy who loves fundamentals.

"For him to call me out for two of my favorite plays ... I love that coach asked me to come out and talk to his young club."

"He's a great player, a great shooter and a great thinker mentally tough," Evan Turner said of Miller. "Coach Collins has been speaking to me about moving without the ball, so I take a lot from someone like Reggie Miller in that regard."

Sixers Acquire Songaila, Brackins From Hornets For Green, Smith

Sep 23, 2010 12:21 PM

Philadelphia 76ers President Rod Thorn announced today that the team has acquired forwards Darius Songaila and Craig Brackins from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for guard Willie Green and forward/center Jason Smith.

"We made the move for these two players to add additional depth to our front court and to add out-court shooting, which was an area that we felt needed improving," Thorn said.  "Songaila is a hard-working, veteran forward who will give us another option up front and Brackins is a rookie that we feel has a chance to develop into a very productive player at this level."

Sep 17, 2010 8:00 AM

The 76ers aren't currently in talks with the Nuggets and Nets on a three-way trade, according to a Philadelphia official.

The same 76ers source said that while the trade has been discussed "a little" internally, they don't believe they have a real shot at Anthony.

Melo Still Wants Trade Out Of Denver

Sep 16, 2010 8:35 AM

The Nuggets hold out hope of repairing their relationship with Carmelo Anthony but so far the superstar has not changed his mind.  

Anthony still wants Denver to deal him and the team is considering how best to maximize return in a trade.

The Nets are aggressively trying to acquire Anthony and it is believed he would be open to signing an extension upon being traded to New Jersey.

"They're working the hardest to get a deal done," a source said about the Nets.

The Sixers are also in the mix, though it is unclear if Anthony would sign off on a trade to Philadelphia. Denver is said to be interested in Andre Iguodala.

Rival executives do not believe that the Knicks, Anthony's first choice, have enough to offer the Nuggets to complete a deal.

The Bulls are not considered a realistic destination.

The 76ers have extended training camp invitations to big man Trent Plaisted and guard James Florence.

Plaisted's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed that the Brigham Young alum will participate in camp.

Philadelphia already has 14 players under contract for the season, so both players will likely be just bodies for camp.
