" I am -- Brock talking NBA the Philadelphia 76ers have -- made it out of first round of the playoffs the last two seasons Sixers now hope to make a deeper run this year. For a preview I am joined by team beat writer Phil Jazz there of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Felt good -- first of all Elton Brand the big free agent signing last summer -- per season in Philly I guess you have to consider it a bus. Is dealt with finally fully recovered from a separated shoulder I don't."

" I think they're separated shoulder is as much an issue. As you that we can do in the hip suffered the previous he's. Probably believe that Clinton's tendon injury is. Not a lot different than players who -- reconstructive. Knee injuries that you need a year. To -- old and then -- the second year back before your anywhere close. To what you want war I think we'll find out about Elton base when -- and not initial."

" their salary cap issues the Sixers is a tough situation of them could not afford to keep Andre Miller are now they have us super sub Louis Williams. There's really more score than playmakers step in and he moves into a starting role then the young Jrue Holiday just drafted on number seventeen overall backing him up. What should Philly fans expect from their point -- this year."

" I'm not true that Philly fans know what to expect. Cause a -- Williams has never started to gain in the NB AB you're right he's. Much more in scoring guard and point guard and neither going to play a -- that Koppen. -- between guard set up so that theoretically. Both guards can initiate the offense. And I'm not sure that won't work with the skills that that the Sixers Gortat."

" And at the top Eddie Jordan guided a nice job of the Wizards for awhile he's Philadelphia's new coach. Inherits a lot of talent here but also inherits a lot of issues has always seems to be the case with Philly what are the team's expectations realistically for the season."

" And he has talked about this being in transition year I'm not sure what he means by that but I really think that they're a the Sixers or a lot more optimistic. Than the reporters who cover them and the fans who go to them -- I see them as struggling to get -- 500."

" Thanks to be with us and enjoy -- he's not in Philadelphia we appreciate your rent and for all your basketball need to make sure to keep a log on right here to foxsports.com. I'm Barry Le Brock will next."
