Word is that Elton Brand is opting out at the end of the season, so the Clippers won

1. if you are trading hedo, you better get a "playmaker" in return.
2. otherwise you would be wondering why dwight and brand are not getting enough touches, why the turnovers all of a sudden peak, why more and more isolation plays are being called.
3. another thing is it is very doubtful for the clippers to want that trade as hedo is not flashy, young, a balla wit' at'tude.

A healthy Brand, always an if, would complement Howard. But Brand opting out is more about getting a new Max deal from LA than anything else.

Brand would be the perfect pf next to Dwight, but that injury would keep me away from him. I certainly don't want to trade Hedo for that kind of uncertainty.

Hedo is basically untouchable at this point because of how badly we need him to carry us, Brand for anyone else but Turk and D12

Okay, I love Hedo and all, but if we are getting a healthy Brand back in return...There is NO WAY Hedo could match what brand would do for this team..
He is a very good defender, and good free throw shooter... and AWESOME mid range shooter.. not to mention a good rebounder.. He is a 20/10 guy ... to have two 20/10+ guys on our team would bring us to a whole nother level.
It'd be awesome if we were to be able to do that AND get Ellis and Pietrus....
Nelson
Ellis
Lewis
Brand
Dwight
wow.....
Bench
JJ
Pietrus
Foyle
Our bench wouldn't be that great but our starting 5 would be top 3 best in league behind PHX and Bos...MAYBE behind Detroit..
But that is a pipe dream.

Maybe we just want to bring to town those 500 Hedo fans who were chanting and waving banners in the stands in L.A. to add some more excitement to the Amway for the fellas.
In fact, maybe we could get every starter and whoever the sixth man of the night is his own cheering section.
