HRVATSKI NBA AMBASADOR PROMIJENIO ADRESU: Gira u 76erse, Korver u Jazzere...
BACK ON THE EASTSIDE: GIRA JE NAKON KUKOČA DRUGI HRVATSKI KOŠARKAŠ NA ROSTERU 76ERSA...
Drago mi je da je Gira s nama. Imamo mladu i vrlo talentiranu momčad i vjerujem da će Gordan biti pravo pojačanje.
Nakon svega što je proživio u Utahu, te u privatnom životu očekujem novi početak u njegovoj karijeri.
Početak koji će ga vratiti u vrijeme kada je bio miran, precizan i efikasan.

Gira novi Sixer!
Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Ed Stefanski announced today that the Sixers have acquired guard Gordan Giricek and a first-round pick from the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard Kyle Korver.
"We are excited about acquiring a player of Gordan's ability, as well as an additional asset in the form of a first-round draft pick," Stefanski said. "This move will provide us with increased salary cap flexibility this off-season and also allows us to continue our evaluation and development of the young talent we have on this team."
"On behalf of the entire Sixers organization, I want to thank Kyle for the positive impact he has made on this team and the city of Philadelphia through his play on the court and, even more importantly, his philanthropic efforts off of it," Stefanski said.

RASUAL BUTLER MIX
VC NICE PASSER MIX
RONNIE BREWER MIX
..da Gira od danas u 76ersima. Dobar trade za oba tima, Korver je nešto sigurniji igracč nego Gira i Utah će i dalje imati dobar back-up za Brewera.
Mislim da je pozadina tradea (uz Girin loš odnos s trenerom Sloanom) sigurno financijske naravi. Dok oba igrača imaju sličnu visinu ugovora (negdje oko 4.000.000$ po sezoni) Korverov ugovor traje još nekoliko godina dok je Gira nakon ljeta free agent. 76ersi su jedan od timova čiji budget leži nešto malo ispod granice iznad koje NBA naplaćuje dodatni "porez" (tzv. luxury tax ) i sa istekom Giričekovog ugovora moći će ipak malo predahnuti.

Ne smije se zaboravit ni kondicionalni first round pick koji Phili dobiva s čime ovaj trade održava ravnotežu.
