Brand
Dalembert
Iguodala

Philly saves about $3.5 million over the balance of this year; then, in the summer of LeBron, Philly's cap number drops by $36.2 million, giving them only $28.8 million in commitments--so, cap room in the neighborhood of $25 million. They could be a major player. It also reduces their long-term commitments by $108 million.

The Mavs do it for obvious reasons. Iggy is way better than Josh; Dalembert vs. Dampier is a judgment call, though Dalembert is much younger, which is a plus; and Brand, as the third player in the front-court with Dirk & Dalembert, is about a 4000% upgrade over Gooden. Money, schmoney. This brings rings.

Not even Cuban is that rich.

I'd be ecstatic with the trade being speculated about.

Getting Iggy would be the happiest basketball day in my life for last few years lol.

To be honest, Brand is just as much as a fiscal commitment as Marion's contract. The only thing is, is that Brand's style of play doesn't decrease as drastically over time as Marion's does, since Marion's really on speed and agility. I'm all for taking on bad contracts if they're talented, even Brand's. But it's not my money.

If that deal goes through though... Just give us the ring, or even rings

Or it would be a colossal bust, both monetarily and on the court.

Maybe they couldn't work together. Maybe Brand, Iggy, and Dirk couldn't coexist. Maybe????

But on the other hand. If they did do it, the rings could add up.

Go BIG or go home..............

Yeah, but you could say that about any transaction. Maybe it won't work. Maybe it will. We have no clue. There's no more information saying they can't coexist as there is proof saying they can. In terms of upgrading, it is a plus, and if that's the only info I'm getting, I'll take it. I just wish there was word of what our FO is up to.
