Epic Drop: Top 10 Things Sixers Fans Will Miss About Billy King

Your list is here, and like every other Sixers fan, I have to wonder about the timing of this move. Ed Snider tolerates incompetence longer than just about anyone this side of the Detroit Lions, and after giving King the reins to make three first round picks in a deep draft following the soul-crushing Iverson trade, the 14 people left on the planet who cared about the Sixers were more or less resigned to another year or two of Kingly Neglect.

Now, we get some unknown guy from the Nets, Ed Stefanski, who was an Ivy League draft pick of the team back when NBA teams drafted hundreds of players for no real reason... and it's a testament to the utter hopelessness that the franchise has had for years now that, really, there's a feeling that it's an early Christmas gift. Thanks, Uncle Ed! Now, can you sell the team to someone that actually knows or cares about basketball -- say, Pat Croce?
