Welcome back Rod Carney

With training camp fast approaching the 76ers resign Rodney Carney. This should come as a surprise to nobody. The Sixers have said as much for sometime now. And if you’re like me you don’t have a problem with it. But it doesn’t make you jump with glee either.

Rod is what he is. He fits the up tempo Sixers style but needed to work on the three point shot. He increased his 3 point field goal percentage a bit last year with the T’wolves (.350 up from .317 his last year with the Sixers). If he continues to improve  he will get more playing time.

Just like when he left.

Hmm … looks like some folks are gonna get some more mileage out of that Rodney Carney jersey they bought a couple of years back.

Iverson heading to Memphis

 Allen Iverson (alleniverson) on Twitter says he is heading to Memphis. David Aldridge is reporting it on NBA.com. But this seems to be the new thing. Breaking News on Twitter. ESPN has already added it to their “Breaking news” ticker crawl.

“God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career. I met with Mr. Heinsley, Chris Wallace and my next head coach Lionel Hollins” Says AI.

So the answer will be in town February 11th. Not a bad scenario for Iverson. It will be the 1st full year for Head coach Lionel Hollins and the Grizzles are rebuilding their team persona. They have a lot of young talent; Mike Conley, Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, and O.J. Mayo. And they will now be anchored by some veterans with the likes of AI and Zach Randolph.

Stay tuned …
