Elton Brand?

[magee]

When reading things like the Clippers only want to trade Brand to the Eastern Conference, only 3 teams really popped up as teams who could trade for Brand: Milwaukee (potential SG, young kid like Yi, Ramon Sessions and picks); Miami (#2 pick, a couple of guys like Marion); and Cleveland.

Cleveland could trade their first rounder, Wally, Joe Smith and Pavlovic for Brand and Cuttino Mobley. That's the premise of what I was thinking of, and I know it benefits Cleveland more than LA, but does anyone here think it may be plausible that you guys could please James by trading for Brand?

I'd love to get Brand, but (strangely enough) I'd rather keep either Wally or Pavlovic.

[DowJones]

We have no chance to get Brand unless something happened with a 3rd team.

[Rise Against]

Hmm Outty, can you justify why?

Are you a Cavs fan ??

You have to be kidding me... A dominant low post player who gets 20-10 and plays defense, yet, you would prefer Sasha or Wally ??

[TheOUTLAW]

Oops, I meant to say that I'd like to keep one of them. Not that I'd rather keep them. I'd do the deal anyway but it does create a hole at the 2.

[Smooth32]

And like there wasn't already a hole at the 2-guard spot, Outlaw?

Mobley would be better than both of them a starting line up looking like this would be deadly:

West
Mobley
LeBron
Brand
Z

I'd do this deal yesterday... We'd still have Varejao to maybe get a nice 1st rounder or use him and DJ to get a nice player...

Considering that the CAVs trade assets are mostly expirings which will become really valuable around the trading deadline --- Elton Brand is real long shot.

I personally think this would never happen because La would ruin the line up with Kaman, Magatte and Brand while if they get wally and joesmith and sasha its like the second dummesttrdae in the NBA.......... But I wish Brand were in Cleveland then James can get some supporty other then Z
