Making A Play For Elton Brand

Good morning, Sixers fans. I'm stressing the good in that sentence, for the time being. Here's why . ESPN is reporting that the Sixers are looking to send Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth to the Timberwolves for either cash considerations or draft picks, or both. Minnesota has a $5.2M trade exception it could use to swallow both contracts. What exactly would this mean? Well, depending on where ...

The Sixers appear to have pulled it off. After trading away Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth to clear up cap space, the Sixers have lured the best free agent, Elton Brand, away from the Clippers. According to ESPN, the Sixers have offered Brand a 5 year deal worth a reported 82 million dollars, and Brand is going to accept it. The move makes the Sixers an instant contender in the Eastern ...

The Philadelphia Sixers have proved that maybe letting Atlanta Hawk Josh Smith leave town without a contract wasn’t such a bad idea. Ed Stefanski has worked his magic and won a bigger sweepstakes; the Elton Brand sweepstakes. ESPN.com is reporting that Brand has agreed to a five-year, $82 million deal with the Sixers, snubbing the Los Angeles Clippers who recently acquired Baron Davis.

I don't know how much bandwidth, air time and newsprint have been wasted in the past week or so "analyzing" the "new look" Clippers featuring Baron Davis and Elton Brand but the current "breaking news" is that Brand is going to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Elton Brand spurns Baron, heads to Sixers

I know most of the folks at HHR are estatic that Elton Brand pulled the old switcheroo on Baron Davis and signed a nice little 5-year, 82 million dollar contract. I got no problem with Brand heading back to the East (he is from Peeksill, NY...not to be confused with the Catskill and their animal farms), but the way in which it was done is a little jarring.

The 76ers Won't Be As Good As You Think

Once you get past the (possible) shock of Brand in the East, you realize that Elton is probably not enough to get the Sixers over the
