the clips were willing to give him 80 over 5 years. he must have been BSing about wanting to stay there cause if the sixers are giving him 82 or 85 thereisnt much of a difference

Sources say Brand will spurn Clippers, sign with 76ers

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.

The Sixers cannot formally sign Brand before midnight, with Wednesday serving as the first day that NBA teams can officially complete signings and trades after the lifting of a leaguewide moratorium which began July 1.

But Philadelphia has secured Brand's verbal commitment, sources said, after first reaching an agreement in principle with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a trade that, according to sources, will send Sixers forward Rodney Carney, center Calvin Booth and a future first-round pick to the Wolves without Philadelphia having to take back any salary. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the Sixers will receive a future second-round pick in return.

That trade will shave nearly $3 million off the Sixers' payroll next season and increase what was already substantial salary-cap space, positioning them to sign Brand to a five-year deal believed to be starting in the $14-to-15 million range. Exact figures are expected to be available later Tuesday evening when the league reveals next season's salary-cap figure to its 30 teams and the media.

Said one source close to the process: "Elton wants to go East."

Another source had described Brand as leaning "70-30" in favor of going to the Sixers and didn't rule out the possibility that the Clippers could still increase their five-year offer beyond the latest estimate of roughly $75 million. The Clippers are also the only team in the running with the ability to offer a no-trade clause to Brand, something that only one other player in the league -- Staples Center co-tenant Kobe Bryant -- has in his contract.

Philadelphia's shedding of two salaries to set up a major free-agent signing is reminiscent of the move made by Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 1996, when then-Lakers personnel chief Jerry West sent Anthony Peeler and George Lynch to the then-Vancouver Grizzlies, creating the cap space that made it possible for L.A. to sign Shaquille O'Neal away from Orlando.

Getting Brand away from the Clippers might not quite have a Shaq-sized impact on the Sixers, but it would be an undeniable coup for Philadelphia on a variety of levels.

Brand is the proven power player Philadelphia clearly lacks on an otherwise promising roster that won many admirers as last season progressed. The Sixers extended Detroit to six games in a first-round series more competitive than many anticipated and, if they can formally secure Brand's signature, would be adding a two-time All-Star to veterans Andre Miller and Andre Iguodala, top youngsters Louis Williams and Thaddeus Young, and the considerable wingspan of Samuel Dalembert at center.

@ Brand....wow

 

[laridah23]

Wow .. I wasn't expecting Brand to do that at all .. We even upped our offer to about $80 million over 5 years .. He was the one who wanted Davis on theteam so he could have another big-name player on the roster, yet he still leaves

.. I guess now we try to go after Josh Smith or Okafor? .. Atlanta will match any offer for Smith in my opinion .. Okafor seems to be the playerwe should try to go after .. Since we're pretty much panicked now, I wouldn't be surprised if we throw the type of money Okafor feels he's worth ..

Good luck to Maggette in GS .. Brand? Eh .. I appreciate his hard work that he's done for the Clippers, he's going to be a great fit in Philly .. ButI'm just shocked and disappointed in his decision, when all signs were pointing to him re-signing with us .. Oh well ..

Tough time for Clipper fans

 

[reignman23]

Damn, Brand did the Clippers real dirty.
It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't act like he was gonna stay for the Clipps but this guy just played both the Clippers and B. Diddy.
Baron has to be pissed right now.
Clipps should make a move for Josh Smith if he's still available.

 

[D Fly]

Wow we really need to go back to ezboard..this is too much man.

C- Dally
PF- Brand
SF- Young
SG- Iggy
PG- Miller

All Phlly needs is a sharpshooter that can stretch the defense.

 

[enlightened thought]

i think the clips only have like 11 or 12 mil to sign FAs. that will easily get matched by Atlanta for Smith.
