LA TIMES: Brand to Philly

[bruno sundov]

The Atlantic Division just became one of the elite divisions in the NBA after being nothing but a laughing stock two years ago. If the Celtics, 76ers and Raptors are all healthy we should be looking at a 50 win team finishing third in our division next year.

Seriously. How the hell did that happen.

50 win teams? Well ORL was one last year and so was CLE right?

I think PHIL and TOR are on their level of last year.

Re Baron...
If you think Brand was the only reason Baron signed with the Clippers you're mistaken. Baron is from LA. He hangs out here any chance he can and was flying back-and-forth from SF all the time. I've seen him around town numerous times, lately hanging out a lot with Teri Hatcher. He has close ties to the movie industry and is getting heavily into production. He's psyched to live in LA. I'm sure having Brand is what he wanted but by no means is it heart-breaking for him.

I know, seriously!

And Toronto is going to have some more competition now to hang another glorious division champs banner into their hallowed rafters!
