not sure why the 76ers would do it though. Even if Brand isnt working out for the moment, he’s obviously a stud PF that most teams would love to have, and I imagine that they will be patient with him fo rthe next season or 2. And if not, maybe other teams have more attractive options? Crawford is awesome, but im not sure why Philly would want or need him unless they can include andre miller in the situation and get someone else in return…but again, im not sure who we could inlcude contract wise and talent wise (but im not overly familiar with Philly and their needs). The more realistic option would be to make a play for boozer, but with our contract situations, I dont think that could happen. Even if we made a trade to clear some space, Im not sure if we could land him…good looking out on the PF front..obviously we need one!

but with Lou Williams, Andre Miller, AI2, Kareem Rush, Royal Ivey, and Willie Green, Im not sure why they need another guard. Obviously they’re not all great guards, but between williams, AI2, Ivey and miller, they have more than enough to cover they’re guard position without having another, despite how good he (crawford) may be. Especially when their other big men are donyell marshall, reggie evans, theo ratiliff, samuel dalembert (who has not been good this year) and mariese spieghts. Cant see why they would think that another talented guard and “potential” big man would be better than an all star PF…just my opinion though, and im not all that big on Wright…so if this could happen I would love it!

No way would Philly ever do that trade.

like there have been previous GOOD trade ideas. there haven’t been. and this one isn’t either.

the 76ers play a similar type of game we play, but Elton Brand couldn’t fit into their play style. . . so he probably wouldn’t fit into ours either. Besides, I don’t think the 76ers would accept that trade anyways.

wasn’t it kinda obvious brand didnt wanna play here since the offseason

As far as trades go, OK, if we can get an all-star caliber power forward for a couple excess 2’s and 3’s, that would be fine, but I don’t know why we keep trying to trade for 4’s. We have Wright, Turiaf, AR, Corey, who all can play some 4. What we need is a 5. We have one 5 (Beans), and Turiaf, who is a 4/5. We’re thin at the biggest position.
I like this team, it is extremely entertaining, very young, lots of talent, the chemistry has to happen. If it does, and we have a healthy team, we could be a good team next year.
We need a 5 who can spell Biedrins, match up with the big guys when other teams go big with their twin towers. Getting a 5 would allow Turiaf to start opposite Biedrins, then bring in a scoring PF off the bench.
Our guys play with intensity, they are athletic, and make bonehead plays every game. We’re so young, they are going to improve on the team defense and team rebounding just by playing together the rest of this season.
I enjoy every game, even this heartbreaking loss was extremely fun to watch.

I wouldn’t trade away BWright for another PF. I’d go with JC and CJ as the first to trade on this team. Like I’ve said before, CJ has been really clutch lately, but we have TONS of scorers who can score as well or better than him, and play much better defense than he does. If we could somehow trade CJ/JC/Williams/Kurz or any combo of those guys for a legit PF and pick up a good rookie PG next season, that’d be pure hotness.

The Sixers were a fast-paced running team that was on the verge of breaking into the playoffs- until they got brand which slowed everything down ad screwed them up. WHY would we do the same thing? Also, we offered brand a contract for more than the Sixers and he didn’t want to come here… why trade for someone who has no interest in playing for you?
