Philly to Enter the Elton Brand Sweepstakes?


“The Philadelphia 76ers, one of the remaining teams with significant space under the expected cap, are also expected to enter the competition for Brand’s services, creating a potential bidding war for the All-Star forward.”

They need him more than Josh Smith.

Damn right TAD.

However, the Clippers are total morons if they let him walk.

What happened to “Philly needs a jump shooter”? I’d take Josh Smith over Brand any time.

LOVING that Baron started this potential game of dominoes. Even if no one else moves, the possibility is at least giving us something to talk about.

I hope Ed Stefanski feels the same way as you Tad.

THADDEUS YOUNG will be a better NBA 4 than Brand by the time his max deal is done, EB’s definitely gonna want 5-6 years. JSmoove fits a little better with the rest of the team’s composition, but they really need some improved shooting. I guess you could move Thaddeus to the 3…

Philly needs EBizzle more than they need JSmoove. Clippers would be idiots to let EB walk for free.

Elton Brand aint going nowhere…Where you going Elton? Nowhere.

B might be right. EB seems like he’d be a fairly responsible dude financially and he’s already investing in film and entertainment in LA, plus he’s finally got some legit help on the Clips. The more I think about the Sixers, the more I think that could be a great fit. Plus brand would be a much bigger advantage for a team in the East. Cuz SOMEBODY is gonna left out of the party in the West next season. And with no bench, two injury prone stars, and a history of front office ineptitude the Clips are by no means guaranteed a spot.

Ok josh smith is 22 and is only going to get better especially learning from sammy d. Elton Brand is 29 and injury prone. i say get josh smith, let him gel with iggy and lou and andre and thad and sammmy and reggie ev and all them. The lock up dre and lou, see how much is left in the piggy bank and get a jason williams or ben gordon= sharp shooter. Sixers all the way baby!

The Answer says:
I agree with you adbphilly, but Smith learning from Sammy D? I think it’s the other way around. Sammy D needs to learn from Josh Smith. Josh Smith is actually coordinated unlike Sammy and can finish strong. J-Smoove’s the best shot blocker in the game. SIGN THIS MAN STEFANSKI.

To the good people at Slam; those HDRC-commercials really f*ck up you’re page, when switching between pages they leave white “blanks” so one cannot see the content of the article or comments. I know they pay the bills but please do something about it. Am I the only one experiencing this?

ok so monday we bring in josh childress and from what i hear we’re talking to corey maggette and elton brand. I say we just get j-smoove and do a sign and trade for someone. Although the good thing about EB and Magette is that their unrestricted which means we can throw a bunch of money at them and the clippers wont have to match it.
