    The Philadelphia 76ers have apparently won the Elton Brand free-agent sweepstakes. NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that Brand has informed the Sixers that he will accept a five-year deal worth an estimated $82 million and spurn what was presumed to be a slam-dunk return to the Los Angeles Clippers to hook up with Clipper-to-be Baron Davis.

    He can't formally sign before midnight, but it looks like a done deal.

    sixers trade 2 players, a 1st round draft pick to the twolves for a 2nd round draft pick to free up space to sign Brand. I just seen that part of it on ESPN Scrollbar, didn't catch the players names.

    I didn't know it was 2 players. One of them is Rodney Carney, not sure who the other one is, but probably no one major. We also got 3 million dollars. This was a deal made to clear cap room for Brand.

    nice signing for Philly, but Brand's rep amongst his peers took a hit tho.

    I heard after all that wooing we did, we didn't even make an offer to him. Do we have enough money left to buy a stick of bubble gum, let alone bring Smith in?

    Wow, the Sixers are getting one hell of a player. I still wish he was never traded from the Bulls.

    It's all about the money, I guess. Wonder how Baron Davis feels about this.

    Prolly not, unless they can pull off a sign and trade

    With Brand, you dont need Smith anyway's. Smith's kinda a SF/PF combo type, and you guys are set at both spots unless Igudala walks in the future

    The moral of the story is that sometimes, tens of millions of dollars aren't a good th....nevermind.
