TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
Yi,Simmons,Gadz for Brand and crap filler? Hell I would thrown in a second rounder this year to get it done. Then a Mo and #8 for Prince then call it a summer.

Prince isn't worth that much at all.....people want to give up an awful lot for a 1 year rental of Elton Brand.

Yi and two of the worst contracts in the NBA is too much for a 20/10 PF even if it is only a one year rental?

It certainly is if you believe Yi can be a player...you obviously don't, I am not sure.....so yes one year with no chance to win the East IMO, that is to much.

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
Well Celtics gave away the future in Al Jefferson to wear a ring. Sounds good to me if our whole entire team is a all star 1 year rental. Win now then worry later. Were use to losing anyway. Why not win a quickie now?

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
Because even with Brand for a year we are nowhere near being a contender.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

So assume we sign someone like Duhon with part of the MLE. You don't think a roster of could compete in the East?
Sessions/Duhon
Redd/Bell
Prince/Mason
Brand/Villanueva
Bogut/minimum scrub like Ruffin
Again, they may not be in the Finals but that team easily makes the playoffs and the East and has a decent chance of making it to the Conference Finals imo. You weaken the #2 team in the East by taking away one of their best players, unless Cleveland adds someone next to LeBron they're still a step behind, Washington, Philadelphia, Toronto etc are all .500 teams give or take a couple of games.
Assuming that team is healthy I think they could be penciled in for 50 wins.

Regardless of whether some Bucks fans think Yi has a bright future or not, i don't see any chance the Clippers would trade Brand for Yi and two terrible contracts, another team could offer something better that doesn't include about 40 million in dead money.

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
This roster has a big4, yes i'm including Bogut as the big 4 partner. Hes gonna step it up this year. Long as Brand stays healthy well whole team. We got #2 seed in the beg hopefully. Unless another team thats top dog loads up to we big gambles for win now. But what I took into context from a few topics for a win now bet the farm for a 1 year rental for a ring. Its worth it. Celtics aren't complaining. Heck if we can get Artest for less then Prince go for it. Sessions,Redd,Artest,Brand,Bogut line up is still worthy of a Celtics match up.

I agree. The Clippers would be better off just letting Brand walk after next year instead of taking on Simmons and Gadzuric, even if they think Yi is going to be a good player.
I'm still wondering how some don't think it's a good deal for the Bucks. Adding Brand and Prince and only giving up the #8 pick in a weak draft, two terrible contracts, a PF who faded as the season went on and Mo, a good player but not as good as Brand could be a bad deal for us.
We lose Mo's scoring but we would still have plenty with Redd and Bogut and the addition of Brand, hell even Prince can score a little. I would like to see what Skiles could do with that team.

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
Huge gamble here but here it goes. Yi,CV,Dez,Gadz for Brand. Yes its a huge mistake if Brand goes down. Also 1 year rental and kills our 10 year future. But 1 ring betting on 10 years is worth it. Just think if we did this on draft night. This might get old vet free agents thinking a ring could be close in Milwaukee if not Boston for dirt cheap cash. We still would have MLE. Mo,Redd,Simmons,Brand,Bogut isnt to shabby. Plus still have #8,Bell,Sessions off the bench. Yeah or bench is weak as hell. But thats what the MLE is for. Its really risky. Unless we deal #8,Mo or Simmons for more depth.

Maybe not too shabby. But not getting a ring either.

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
I'm reaching here but a Mo and #8 could be a Mayo. Even if it was a 3 way of tpups ,Heat,Bucks. Even if it means we bring back a long contract turd.

We'd have to overpay Brand a whole lot ot have any chance at keeping him, and I don't see that as Hammond's style.

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
I'd do both these deals. I do think we'd have a big 4. It would be a poor man's Celtics that might win 52 games.
I also think Yi/Simmons would get Brand. Yi in SoCal would be a big deal for the Chinese population out there and there is no way Donald Sterling is paying Brand a ton of money more. His first contract was simply because Pat Riley held a gun to his head on both Odom and Brand.

Re: TI: Bucks and Clippers for Brand
only if Brand signed an extension because I agree we are probably still a year or two away with those trades. If the Clips were serious about keeping Brand, spending $, and winning(Sterling probably isn't)I would try to move Redd there too for something like 7 or Maggette and filler(Tim Thomas-waived)?
Prince
Brand/29
Bogut
Redd
Sessions
Prince
Yi/29
Bogut
Maggette or Gordon at 7

I certainly wouldn't be dancing in the streets or bestowing a bunch of praise on Hammond though.
It's like taking three huge dumps on your kitchen floor, then cleaning up one of them.
