Wagner is intriguing...hopefully he'll work out and do good. We need some help...

Aaron McKie signed with the Kobe's, by the way...

Dajuan Wagner was working out with the team, too...

Wow...I love this kid. I've felt terrible for him and his luck since he got to the NBA. Intriguing, as Phreak said. Maybe his luck would change being back home.

Why, because he's a "nice guy"?  Just remember how often he was injured and how much he came through (or didn't) in big games.  You'll get over it real quick.

no jackass.  regardless of his performances of late (which I too have been critical of) I have been a McKie fan since he was at Temple.   Even have a Temple Jersey of his.

McKie is a Philly bred guy, nice as can be and a local fan favorite here since his days at Temple. He was always great to the fans (since his college days) and was respectful and played his ass off for the Sixers.

Seeing him go to a hated rival sucks ass, big time.

The Lakers are hardly a rival these days, but... whatever.

Many players have come and gone in Philly sports, and Aaron McKie is simply not one I plan to miss very much compared to others.  Roenick?  I'll miss him.  Ike Reese?  Hate to see a guy like that go.  McKie?  Bah, someone else's issue.

Reese didn't spend his whole life in Philly....neither did JR.

McKie is a Philly boy.

Kobe was a Philly boy too.  Raheem Brock was a Philly boy.  Rip Hamilton, Eddie George, Rich Gannon, etc etc etc.

At one time or another, Philly boys will play elsewhere.  I understand McKie hasn't yet, but it's more of a relief to him and to the Sixers at this point in his career.  Other Philly sports figures are much more revered and deservedly so.

I'm just trying to help MURP get over his love for Aaron, that's all.  It would be unhealthy for him to root for anything involving the Smog City Yellow Ass-bandits once the season begins.

Missing the point completely. McKie was here his WHOLE LIFE. College and Pros. Seeing him leave is tough.

I guess you missed his first handful of seasons in the NBA?  :-D
