Reggie Evans Traded for Jason Kapono
The Sixers have coveted a long range sharp shooter ever since they traded away Kyle Korver. This is a roster of hustle players and athletes whose defense creates fast break opportunities because of an inability to score consistently in the half court. Well
today Sixers fans got their wish as Jason Kapono comes to town with a green light in tow. He’ll be great spotting up for threes in transition and off secondary breaks. Problem is, Reggie Evans unfortunately was on the other end of the trade. Reggie Evans came in with Andre Miller as part of the Iverson trade and is infinite hustle. Great teammate who was one of the few professional athletes who paid visits to the opposing team’s locker room after games because he was one of the most liked players in the league. I’ll miss dude’s enthusiasm in the locker room as well. He is the epitome of what a cult figure should be. They’ll love Reggie in Toronto. This past season, he worked on his free throws but had his minutes cut with the emergence of Mareese Speights. Mos def will miss Reggie for stuff like this:
This is a great trade for both teams. Toronto has desperately needed a tough guy like Reggie Evans for the last three years. Chris Bosh will be the beneficiary. don’t know what took Bryan colangelo so long.
And as long as someone else on the floor can draw a double team, then Kapono is a valuable piece as he demonstrated in Miami. Otherwise, Kapono is useless
I concur sir. Sure gonna miss Reggie Evans. Dude got the crowd hype and was great with quotes. Guess I can run that interview now.
My Atlanta Hawks could have really used Reggie Evans as well…Our team needed more inside toughness and Evans would have provide that…
Miz:
Is Andre Miller staying in Philly?
My gut says no. I’ll let everyone else know as soon as I find out. I really hope he stays but his Mom is in LA and his son is in Phoenix so…
I like the move but when a 44% 3-point shooter gets traded without much fanfare it raises a flag (Defensive Liability???).
Now the 76′ers need to make the trade for Marcus Camby or Chris Kamaan, and grab Ty Lawson in the draft.
