>IMHO, the Sixers went downhill the minute they lost Pat Croce. Billy King is the Ed Wade of NBA GMs...outmatched. There are stories around the league about players who have said they'd never accept a trade to Philly for reasons unrelated to Iverson.

I don't pay too much attention to basketball, so can't really comment. However, we have seen Pat Croce at the orchestra a couple of times. <s>
