A Brand new purpose
The Sixers just added a big free agent signing Elton Brand away from the Clippers. Brand will fill the PF spot nicely and gives the Sixers the half-court, low-post presence they desperately needed. The Sixers instantly become contenders in the Atlantic Conference and should put a scare in some teams in the Eastern Conference. Does this mean the Sixers are instant favorites, not quite? The way the Doc Cappers see it, the Celtics, Pistons, Cavaliers and Magic and perhaps Toronto are all better on paper. The Sixers are still lacking a consistent outside shooter since the Kyle Korver trade.
We all expect the Sixers will take more than one year to develop considering the team is currently based on youth. It will take Brand and Iggy some time to get comfortable but the sky is the limit for this young team with a rock low post presence. Great move by the Sixers.

It’s good to see the Sixers finally make a big free agent aquisition. It seems the Philly fans have forgotten about the Sixers since the departure of Iverson but now we have something to look forward to come NBA season!

With their GM (Ed Stefanski)the Sixers could add Kobe and KG and still finish below .500 next season. They need more help in the front office more than a low post presence…and I’m not sure Elton Brand should be the first piece of the puzzle. Ohh if they could only have the Allen Iverson trade back.
