"We're going to do whatever it takes."

Those were the words spoken by Sixers President Billy King when asked what was going to be done to turn the Sixers into a winner this off-season.

King, who will enter his 10th year with the team and fourth as president of the organization, is challenged to return the Sixers to the playoffs after the team missed the mark in 2005-06 with a 38-44 record.

"I know that we need to add some veterans, for some experience factor. We have to revamp in our approach, more or less, become defensive oriented more," said King before the season ended. "I think we have some offensive tools that can score. I think we have to become a better defensive team, a tougher defensive team, and I think some of the pieces on this roster have that capability. We're going to build this team based on defense. If it takes rebuilding it, we will. If it takes tinkering we'll tinker. We're going to do whatever it takes to get us back on track."

Success is not foreign for the Duke grad who helped the Blue Devils to the Final Four twice and two ACC titles. Prior to King's arrival in Philadelphia, the Sixers had posted six-consecutive sub-.500 records, dating back to the 1991-92 season. During his nine-year tenure, the Sixers have been to the playoffs six times, including the memorable 2001 NBA Finals run.

King chatted live with fans on Thursday, May 18. Check out the complete chat transcript below:

---

Glendon, Toronto: Hi there Mr. King. I would like to know what you think about your current situation on the draft? What pick do you think you'll earn in this year's lottery and how will that help your situation?

Billy King: We think we'll be at 13 and with some luck we can move up. I think we can get a good player at 13 or higher. 
 

13 픽에 만족하는듯..13픽으로만으로도 좋은 선수를 영입 할 수 있다..이 자신감을 믿습니다.

---

South Philly: Who do you prefer as the premier starting center for next year's season: Dalembert or Hunter?

Billy King: They have to earn it in training camp. We won't have any preconceived plans about who is the starter.

역시 확답은 피하는..ㅋㅋㅋ 달렘베어,헌터 기대감과 실망감을 동시에 주는 선수들.. 오프시즌때 죽어라 연습하고 팀 전략좀 잘 마스터하길..

---

William, Charleston, WV: Will you try to obtain a second round pick since Cleveland now has ours?

Billy King: There's a good chance we'll look to acquire one.
    

클블 2라운드픽이라면 리내일런 주고 받아온거죠..

---

Ray (Vienna): There haven't been any huge changes on the team last season. What do you like best about this team?

Billy King: I thought we could score the ball pretty good last year, but going into next season I think we need to improve defensively.

문제는 수비.

---

Malcolm: What are your plans on Louis Williams? A lot of us fans would like to see him play more.

Billy King: Louis is going to get an opportunity in the Summer League this year and if he earns it, he'll get on the court more next season.
 

역시 루이윌에 대한 기대감은 많은듯..저 역시 마찬가지고..왜 자꾸 루이윌보면 클랙스턴이 생각나던지..

---

James - Philadelphia: Is any one on the Sixers untouchable this offseason?

Billy King: Going into the offseason, I'm looking to make our team better, and I'm not looking to trade any specific player, but our ultimate goal is to win.

---

Jason Bear DE: Are you looking to re-sign Salmons at the moment or are negotiations still in the works?

Billy King: Can't start negotiating until July 1.
 

ㅋㅋ 7월1부터 협상 시작한다네..너무 단호하다 살몬스 재계약 하면..빌리킹 실망..살몬스를 위해서도 필리를 위해서도..

---

Raphael (Hamburg): Hello Mr. King! The draft is coming. What kind of player are you looking for this year?

Billy King: Mainly we just want to get the best player, we're not focusing on any one position.

사실 이 질문이 상당히 흥미로웠습니다..그래도 신인을 많이 중용 할 생각인듯..하긴 어느 포지션 충원을 루키에게 기대하는 것도 어찌보면 필리가 약하다는 것을 입증하는 부분이죠.

---

Jerry (Lancaster, PA): Billy, anyone that your eyeing up in the draft? What do you think about Gerry McNamara, a 2 hour drive from scranton means bus loads every night!

Billy King: Ha-ha (Laughing) We're just starting in that process, there are lots of great players out there and we will work hard to try and get the best guy available when it's our turn to pick.

노력해야지...근데 왜 웃는거지..누가 댓글로 번역좀..맥나마라가  매일밤 버스차선에서 2시간동안 운전한다?  대해 어떻게 생각하냐?

---

Arthur (Manila): Sir King, I must say of the 10 years that you have been in the organization you have done a great job of continuing the proud tradition of the Sixers franchise. May i ask of what you think Andre Iguodala needs to work on this summer for his development as a player?
굿 퀘스쳔~
Billy King: Andre can continue to work on his jump shot. The biggest thing I've told Andre, is to be more aggressive offensively.

역시 이기 점퍼에 대해 노력중이고...좀 더 공격력에서 업글된다는..빌리킹 역시 우리들의 바램처럼 이기에 무한한 포텐셜을 기대하는중..넥스트 빈스카터. 안드레 이궈달라~

---

Jim (philly): Do you think Iggy was robbed in the dunk contest?

Billy King: Ha-ha (Laughing) Yes.
 

당연 이기가 리얼 덩크챔프!!

---

Blaine, Philly Baby!: Hi, what percent of the returning Sixers from the 05-06 team are locked-in to come into the 06-07 season?

Billy King: We currently have eight players under contract for next season.

8명 미만이라..

---

David: What do you think is the reason the Sixers sort of fell apart after the all star break, allowing the Bulls to steal their playoff spot?

Billy King: I think after the tough loss against Indiana, and then Boston and Denver, we never recovered after losing those close ballgames.

결국 뭐...졌다는게 문제야..? 갠적으로 앤써 부상만 아니었어도 ㅜㅜ 토론토-시애틀-클립스-골든스테이트 이 경기를 다 진게...

---

Paul (Santa Fe): During your time with the team, what do you think was your favorite Sixers moment?

Billy King: Favorite Sixers moment was going to the NBA Finals.

이런 자세 좋아..말이야 쉽지만..ㅎㅎ

---

Eddie Calzone: Is there any specific position that you are trying to improve or any specific free agents that you are intrested in adding to the Sixers for next season?

Billy King: I'd like to add another athletic swingman.

 

가장 예민한 질문에 이런 확답을..운동능력이 좋은 스윙맨을 충원하겠다? 로드니 카니???ㅋㅋ

이 발언이 의미심장하네요.

---

mike (philly): Hey Mr. King, as shown during the playoffs the east is on the rise, after not making the playoffs this year and have salary cap issues how do you plan to get back into the elite next year?

Billy King: You can do it via trades, the draft and you have to get a little lucky.

교묘한 대답..

---

Paul (Philly): Do you think we will ever figure out what style we would like to play? Grind it out on D, Fast break, or half court sets? Seems like we have players that fit one style versus another.

Billy King: I think we're going to get back to solid defense and running when the opportunity presents itself.

흠..좋은 질문이네요.
디펜스의 견고함을 위해..노력해야한다..디펜스~

---

Linwood (Baltimore): Billy: When you addressed the fans last month about your plans for the 76ers last season, you weren't exactly clear as to what direction this team will take next year? Will this team be rebuilding or will this team be built to make the playoffs in the 2006-07 season?

Billy King: We're going to try and build a team that is competitive and plays hard every night, but the goal is always to make the playoffs and win a championship.

기대하겄으~
Billy King: Thanks to the fans. Be patient, we will work as hard as we can to build a team you can be proud of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

빌리킹 역시 뭐 필리의 문제점인 디펜스에 대해서 고민을 많이 하고 있군요. 대충 인터뷰 보면 앤써-웨버 트레이드의 가능성이 좀 줄었다는 생각이 드네요.

[NEW ANSWER]

의도적으로 앤써-웨버 누구 트레이드 할꺼냐?이런 질문은 자른듯..나의 궁금증을 더욱더 증폭시키는..

[달렘백호]

잊고있었는데;; 리 네일런 주고 2라운드픽있었네요 ㅋㅋ 저걸로 누굴뽑을지

[Chuck]

Gerry McNamara...이너마가 스크랜턴에 살고 있다는거죠. 거긴 펜실베니아 동쪽쯤에 있는곳인데 필리랑 집 가까우니 점마좀 뽑아보면 안되겠니? 한거죠. 제리가 올해 팍 떳긴했지만 아직 후레시맨인데다가 포스가 부족해서 1라운드에 뽑힐일은 아주 드믈겠죠. 살몬스는..말모양새보니 그냥 계약안할듯..ㅋㅋ

[NEW ANSWER]

아 그런뜻인가요?ㅋㅋ

[아우구스투스]

근데 리 네일런 주고 2라픽 받은게 아니라 교환. 거기에 뉴저지한테 받은 픽 2개는 애틀에게 간듯...

[번슨이]

/난입/ 상투적인 질문에 상투적인 대답이네요; 중간에 걸러져서 올라온거기 때문이겠죠-? 나보고 하라고 하면 욕으로 시작할 자신 있는디...(물론 한국어로 -_-)

[처음부터시작]

알기만하면 머하냐고 문제점을 고쳐야지;;; 넌 절대 gm으로는 안어울려
