An Elton Brand question -
Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 4:45 am
Because we all have nothing but time and need things to do to occupy us and fill up the lonely hours ... Elton Brand can opt out and become an unrestricted FA this summer.
My question - he will cost at least 16.5 mil, not counting luxury hit.
But how much does a championship earn an owner, Sarver for instance? Is it worth it purely from a business viewpoint? Say he signed brand for 17 mil and paid another 17 in luxury tax - would a championship[ earn 30+ mil back to pay for it. (I know that that only breaks even on the deal, which is not great business.)
