If the Bulls want a great season like they did in the 06-07 season, they need a veteran Center that won't let them down like Ben Wallace did.

Derrick Rose - PG (Or Kirk Hinrich.)
Ben Gordon - SG (If they resign him.)
Luol Deng - SF (If they resign him.)
Drew Gooden - PF
Veteran big man - C

That would be the perfect starting line-up for the Bulls, in my opinion.

They should take P.J Brown then lol but seriously. Good Centers are hard to come by now a days.

The Sonic's move is a downer for me, since I have family out there that are huge Sonic fans, even though they aren't good.

And especially veteran centers that are decent.

Wow Philly got Elton Brand. That's really a shocker. If he stayed with the Clips I believe they would have gone as far as the playoff race.

[Frozen Fate]

Great move for Philly. They now have a player who gets some post up shots, and draws in more defense, allowing players like Andre Iguodala and Thad Young to get off more shots. Brand may not be as athletic as I'd like to see in a 76ers player, but he is a super power forward.

Philly's potential best line-up.

PG- Andre Miller
SG- Andre Iguodala
SF- Thaddeus Young
PF- Elton Brand
C- Samuel Dalembert

Also, they have Speight, Lo Williams, and Willie Green, potentially, coming off the bench.

Wow thats a pretty damn good starting 5. I think they will do some damage come playoff time is Brand is healthy.

Finally. Some NBA Fans. Isn't Baron Davis going to the Clippers?

[Frozen Fate]

Yeah, Baron's in LAC now. Maggette is in Golden State now, as well.

Hey man. This thread is almost the only reason why I still come to this site.

Yeah Baron Davis went to the Clippers but Elton Brand "betrayed" them by going to the 76ers.

[Kirby]

Warriors also got Ronnie Turriaf or something from the Lakers.
They going to need all they can get.

[Frozen Fate]

ESPN - Dunleavy blaming Brand's agent for change of heart - NBA

The "betrayal", or more so retardation in LA.

[marlousmiracle]

Until Brand says something to the media about this, its going to look like he turned his back on the Clipper franchise

[Frozen Fate]

I thoguht Brand said that the reason was that LA tried to give him a contract that was 75 million over 6 years, while it should have been 100 mil over 6 years. LA completely tried to cut his contract by 25%. Plus the Clippers were retarded in trying to negotiate with Brand without an agent, while the same team was trying to work out a deal with his agent, which is illegal. That screwed over LA.
