Seriously... am I the only one who is downright giddy right now??? I feel like we're legitimately ONE piece away from being a title contender... ONE... UNO... EIN!

Did LAC have any clue this was going to happen? Not likely, their counter-moves need to start in about 3 hours - will they go after Josh Smith, Biedrins, Okafor?

What kind of cap space do they have? They now have a HUGE hole at the 4 and so I could see them making a play for one of those guys. Of course, this is the Clippers so who the hell knows and frankly... who cares??


Since the Brand offer was for a reported 5 yr 70 mil that would mean they should be able to make a run at Smith with a salary that starts around 12 mil in yr 1 (average of 14 mil over 5 yr)

I'm all for the Clippers stealing young talent from the East even if that means them taking a run at Iguodala.

noah

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, TGP, I'm completely with you!  I've been screaming out to the heavens all night long! :D

This is unreal.  Seriously.  The Sixers literally turned into contenders overnight.  Guess Miller's sticking around, huh?  Man, this is wild.

Not only am I downright giddy, I feel like that one piece is already on the Sixers.  His name is Thaddeus Young.  He has the ability to be a 20 ppg scorer who can hit the outside shot.  Let's see if he can do it this year or next.

One piece! Here's the problem, it's a pretty substantial piece. If Iguodala and Thad can improve their shooting then we might be able to compete just with maturity but I suspect that the one piece is on another roster right now amd I'll give his initials.... Kobe Bryant.

Uh huh - sure :)

I admit I'm pleased if/when Brand signs with the sixers, but there are a lot of issues signing brand doesn't solve

yeah  i probably worded that wrong...  Elton Brand is worthy of a little more excitement than the Chris Webber deal..... fixed.
