Elton Brand to be amnestied by Sixers. GIVE ME. NAO.

[truthiness]

F%*& Rashard Lewis.

I want Elton Brand. He signed an offer with the Heat years ago.
He should/might still be interested in playing for Riley.

(if only I could find an animated GIF with Colbert saying "give it to me now")

[G.cracker]

Agree!

EB sucks.

I livei n Philly now.

Hes slow. He doesnt rebound.

He averages what he averages because they play him long enough to hit a few outside jumpers.

Hes a shorter, fatter, slower, worse, older Chris Bosh.

[M_nus]

He won't get past the teams with cap room.

I live in the Philly area as well and see him play often. He might not be what he used to be, but the guy is still better than any PF / C on this team not named Chris Bosh. He would be a clear upgrade.

With that said, I highly doubt he clears the amnesty waivers because some team is going to throw at least the minimum at him.

So did I say he was an All Star ?
He averaged 14 ppg, 9 reb and 2 blk per 36 minutes while shooting 50% on FG.
Looks like a damn good back-up to me, or even a starter if Bosh plays C.

And out of all the potential FA's on the market, Brand is the best.

Give me Brand, Ray Allen and Camby and call it a summer. Or just Brand and Allen and I'll still be VERY happy.

Sadly, we can't get him.

If we get him, this can make the way (hard to do) to trade/move UD for another piece.

[narmerguy]

We should really just forget this. There's absolutely 0 chance this guy clears waivers. Literally none. Mavericks already have reported interest in him, and I don't think, given the state they're in, that they'll have a problem throwing at least a couple dollars in there.

Nothing to see here.

Elton Brand would be a great bench contributor maxing out at 20 minutes per game.
Maybe the occasional 25 minutes in a blowout.
He's a leader with a nice mid-range shot, but Rashard Lewis would still be the better player to get.
He can shoot off the catch with a range behind the arc, and create off the dribble a little bit.

Was Brand that bad that the Sixers couldnt trade him for some pieces? Brand is definitely on the decline.

[LikeABosh]

He's not gonna pass waivers and we don't have any money to offer him

[FlashFlare]

Like others have said, can't imagine him passing through waivers.

[EscapoTHB]

But if he did...

[wadeallday1]

Brand is still not too shabby defensively. If he passes we'd be up there in contention. IF.

[LikeABosh]

But if he did...

And if we magically had money to offer him too? I still wouldn't want him. Give it to camby

[420]

I could see him going to the Lakers if he wants to make a run at the title.

[raps_aviator]

Miami needs a legit Centre like Camby. All Problems solved.

[Diggity Dave]

Another team with cap space will absolutely 100% put a bid on him.

[indiegrind]

theres only like 3 teams with cap room though.
