[edit] Dalembert Canadian?
I don't think he should be counted as a Canadian citizen, given the fact that he was denied a Canadian passport. He only wants to play for Canada. See the bottom of this article (though ESPN doesn't say anything about nationality in his official bio): http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=261108028 JesseRafe 04:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- This seems like it should be a simple thing to establish, but I can't find anything that definitely says he's a Haitian citizen. This Sports Illustrated article at least implies he's not a Canadian citizen: "Samuel Dalembert said it is too early to make a commitment, but the 76ers center is considering playing for Canada's Olympic basketball team. Born in Haiti, Dalembert says he is eligible to play for Canada because his mother, Yurose Raymond, is a Canadian citizen." An article I found on caribvoice.org says that Dalembert isn't a Canadian citizen--but the link set off the spam filter, so maybe it's not a good source. It's logical to conclude that he's a Haitian citizen, but I'd be happier if a news source simply stated that. --Akhilleus (talk) 07:08, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Starting Lineup
I have created the "Current Starting Lineup" section as the old one was poorly made and was unaligned with the rest of the article. CityPride 09:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Syracuse Nationals
On January 13th, Darthflyer removed the Syracuse Nationals historical content from this article, which was later (January 22nd) copied to a separate article: Syracuse Nationals. Is everyone happy with this separation? No other NBA team article has done a similar split in spite of team moves (e.g., Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers). Then again, the Syracuse content was fairly lengthy. Myasuda 12:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Upon further review . . . regarding the Los Angeles Lakers article, there was an article split, albeit not between the Minneapolis and Los Angeles days. Rather, the entire history was moved to a separate article History of the Los Angeles Lakers. Perhaps this would be a better route to take here. Myasuda 12:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Syracuse Nationals is currently Wikiproject Syracuse's "Cleanup/Expansion of the Week." -newkai t-c 17:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Let me also state: Although the Syracuse history is extensive, and thus should be separated out, the stats (eg. the championship) still count towards the 76ers... It's the same franchise! -newkai t-c 17:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with the separation as I indicated in my second entry above. But be aware that there is a discussion of this matter at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association where support given to a re-merge the Nats with the 76ers. You may wish to add your two cents to that discussion. Myasuda 01:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jayson Williams
I removed him from the not to be forgotten list. Only played a hundred games with a few points average (http://www.nba.com/playerfile/jayson_williams/?nav=page).CityPride 10:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources
This article needs sources, I just tagged it. Tayquan 11:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I gave it a B rating to be generous though, mainly because of the lack of sources. Tayquan 11:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
