Elton Brand

As I talked about last month, I think the Sixers were targeting Elton Brand after this season with their cap space; he would fit right in with this team and has a great att-i-tude.http://www.nba.com/media/act_elton_brand.jpg

Unfortunately for Elton, he'll miss the FIBA tourney and season. And considering he was going to cash out this season AGAIN (this would have been his second long term deal, every NBA players dream), it couldn't have come at a worse time. But might that play into the Sixers hand? Could they not have to pay 15 million/year for him next year, but maybe 10? The Achilles is a long injury but you can come all the way back from it...plus he'll have a full year to rehab it.

The more I think about this the better it sounds. It sets them up well salary-wise and in terms of distributing talent of a wide range of ages.

I like a 2008-2009 starting lineup of...

PG- Miller
SG- Iguodala
SF- Young
PF- Brand
C- Dalembert

With reserves...
PG- Williams
SG- Green/Korver
SF- Carney/Korver
PF- Hunter
C- Smith

Miller is very tradeable and many of the younger pieces are tradeable as they are fairly cheap and have proven that their potential can be capitalized upon (e.g. Williams, Green, Korver, and Hunter to a lesser extent).

It's kind of weird not being able to rip Billy King nowadays. They seem to be following the Bulls, Blazers, Bobcats strategy of collecting over the course of 4-5 years a clutch of 7-9 players who are mid to high draft picks and 2nd round "surprises". If even half these players achieve their potential, and most are showing signs of exactly this, the Sixers would be a mid/late-playoffs team for several years.

Other than the signing of Iguodala and the hypothetical signing of Brand to reasonable contracts, the only other "danger zone" I forsee would be Dalembert, who is a developmental conundrum, and, unfotunately, probably the key to the teams ability to make the transition from a promising team to a threatening team...

whoever anonymous is.. you are stupid, and i am embarrassed to have you as a fellow sixers fan. we recently traded carney, which i did not expect you to know, but last season we traded korver midway thru the season, so please think before you post something stupid about the sixers.. that being said, this is the city of brotherly love, so its all good.. GOOOOO SIXERS!!!!!!!!!

hey matt, that anonymous comment was from August 2007. Korver was traded in December if Im remembering correctly. Im just shocked that he called it almost exactly like it is now. With the exception of Carney/Korver/Hunter. Now that we have Brand we are going to seriously dominate.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
