Couldn't they just trade Davis for Brand?

Cheezhead | 07/03/08, 07:11 AM

they should save their money or go after somebody who isn't as advancing in age, or damaged goods. good luck, getting out of this contract. i would never take the clippers second at anything

BruceLeeRoy | 07/03/08, 07:30 AM

GSW should go after...... Josh Smith- haha
why not everyone else on the team likes to run- at least he plays D

Elton Brand is worth 90 million? I dont' get these NBA salaries, I can understand Kobe's salary and Garnett's, but what has Elton Brand done as a Bull or a Clipper to warrant 90 million? This si almost as laughable as Arenas 125 million.

hitman | 07/03/08, 07:56 AM

This looks like damage control by warriors management but Brand is probably worth it. If Arenas' market value is 125 Brand is a steal at 90. Overall, Brand can go toe to toe with the best 4 men in the league. Its something the Warriors haven't had for a long time.

I doubt Brand will go for it though, he's got to want to stay in LA with B-Diddy at the point. Worst case for the Warriors at least they make the Clips pay a bit for their maneuver of getting Baron.

Also....they better lock Monta up before somebody tries to steal him, too.

If I were Brand, Magette or Livingston I'd stay in Clipperland for 2 more years. They can play with a all-star caliber playmaker.

C: Kaman
PF: Brand
SF: Magette
SG: Mobley
PG: Davis

bench: Eric Gordon, Shaun Livingston, Tim Thomas, Al Thornton

Boy Brand sure did have to take a day or two to think about it though huh? Turning down an extra $25 mil or so is pretty hard to do, even if it means you are going to get to stay with your team, play with a better team, etc.

Lets see what he chooses.

dennis_fembo | 07/03/08, 09:00 AM

I hope Brand stays in LA, and i hope someone makes a ridiculous offer to Monta that GS can't match....I hate Chris Mullin. He's BY far the worst GM in the history of sports

ESPN | 07/03/08, 09:05 AM

Philly stay away from this guy. Until he proves he is back from injury he is not worth the money. Philly put your money on Josh Smith.

maxwellinformed | 07/03/08, 09:08 AM

Mullins built this team. Up to this point, he's made sound decisions. How does he refuse to sign Baron Davis, citing his injury history, then offer $90 million to a player off the injury list? Read it.

This is just a sort of 'you got me, now I'll get you' kind of move, IMHO.

Brand should stay with the Clippers. Suddenly, this team will be very entertaining, and, could compete for the NBA playoffs in ;09.

realcrusader | 07/03/08, 09:40 AM

If Brand joins the Warriors then basically a whole lot of nothing just happen both those teams trading their superstar players are just going to keep them in the same place(fringe playoff teams).

Brand please resign with the clippers , join Baron Davis, and make some noise.

notbychoice | 07/03/08, 09:57 AM

He's going back to the Clippers. He has a lot going for him in Los Angeles and I can't see him walking away from that.

J. HOVA: BROOKLYN'S OWN | 07/03/08, 09:57 AM

Elton will always be "Branded" a loser !!!

Kaycee6 | 07/03/08, 10:01 AM

Everybody needs to calm down. There is nobody on the Warriors now and I can't really see him fitting in well with the 76ers. Brand is staying with the Clippers. He and Baron Davis are going to make it rain next year.

bertchboy7 | 07/03/08, 10:08 AM

We are still talking about the Clippers?

You could replace the entire team with the Olympic roster going to Beijing and
the Clipper organization would still find a way to get bounced in the first round.

LF | 07/03/08, 10:33 AM

Golden State doesnt want Brand. Mullin is trying to drive up the price the Clippers would have to pay to ratain Brand. If the clippers match the offer and Brand signs that would make it very diffucult for the clippers to add a good supporting cast around a good nucleus and the result would be the same as last year. A sub .500 squad. Mullin is probably ticked off at the Clippers for stealing Baron Davis and he intends to make it difficult for the Clippers to compete. What if the Clippers call his bluff? Mullins will be stuck with brand, post a torn achilles tendon and a untradable contract for five years. Emotional spending is never a good idea.

T-Sizzles | 07/03/08, 10:56 AM

it all comes down to filmmaking
if its Brands calling, and he could make a lot of money in it, then his salary is not as important

kite07 | 07/03/08, 11:32 AM

Elton "Band-Aid" Brand will stay in LA and play for the Clippers and they will raise the roof next season.
