76ers to amnesty Elton Brand

[Droid101]

What is Phillys motivation?

They'd be over the tax.

I figured they'd trade Iggy instead of doing this... but so be it.

Based on how this went last time, it'll be whoever Stern whispers the top bid to that wins it.

Yup. That Chauncey Billups bid was highly suspicious.

[Droid101]

Honestly, he should come off the bench for the Wolves. That's what I want to see.

Or the Lakers.

[Rowe]

What is Phillys motivation?

Cap space to pay for new deals with Hawes($6 Million), Nick Young($6 Million), & possibly Lou Williams($7-9 Million).

[All Net]

Doubts he gets to free agency

[netsfan549]

only cap space teams can make a bid on him right?

[bagelred]

Yes. My guess is he ends up a Cavalier. Plenty of cap space. Veteran replacement for Jamison. Only one year deal. Cavs will put in a good offer.

[Nash]

Anyone can name a few contending teams that can pick him up before he goes to waivers? Indiana? OKC? Cuz surely he wants to go deep in playoffs.

[fatboy11]

Teams will line up for him.
First up: Everyone under the cap.
Second: Houston

Is Houston not under the cap?

Payroll is 34 million.

[Rowe]

only cap space teams can make a bid on him right?

Yep.

Teams under the cap:

Bobcats, Hornets, Kings, Cavaliers, Suns, Blazers, Pacers, Rockets, Mavs, T'Wolves, Bucks, Celtics, & Spurs.

Indiana, Dallas, Boston, & San Antonio.

- Indiana already has West & Hansbrough at PF.

- Dallas could sign him as he's a productive role player who could help their bench.

- Boston already has Bass & Sullinger at PF.

- San Antonio needs another frontcourt PF with Diaw possibly gone, Blair on the Trading Block, & Bonner possibly getting amnestied.

[Nash]

Watch how Boston will dump Allen and go all in for Brand instead.

[CelticBaller]

Elton Brand as a Spur?
