by Tim Povtak ORLANDO -- Elton Brand sure seems like a nice enough guy, respectful, courteous, thoughtful, engaging. He works hard, too. Yet he also is beginning to look like an albatross hanging around the neck of the Philadelphia 76ers, the guy with the contract that will prevent them from ...

Let the Brand Bashing Begin
Depressed Fan —
... this point. I haven't seen anything which points toward him making a full recovery from his achilles injury. The shoulder isn't an issue. Last season, before the shoulder injury, I saw signs that we was rounding into form, this is why I'm still holding out hope. Through the preseason and the first game of the season, those signs haven't returned.

Now some, like NBA fanhouse's TIm Povtak took one look at the Sixers versus the Orlando Magic and questioned Elton Brand's value to the team. It's better than even money that Brand won't be a 20-10 guy with the Sixers, but I do expect him to average a double-double for the season.
