I don't remember honestly how likely it was for it to be on the table.
Honestly, I'd figure Philly pushes to throw Brand in the deal.
Getting Iggy and a center vs getting Joe would seem like the better option to me.

Yeah, but I think Brand is like one injury away from retirement

well, yeah it does, but i'm looking at a championship run. Brand will just eat up money with his injury. I really like the sounds of the Iggy / Dal trade though

If they insist they we take on Brand, they ought to give us multiple draft picks. His contract is...

I'd rather have Dalembert, but Brand is still a huge upgrade over Dampier...
(it's Cuban's money!)

Basically and he's shown he's willing to nut up and take the hit. I don't see why he's going to stop now, he knows that he has to keep trying if he wants to keep his big boy happy. I don't have a definitive answer right NOW but I would lean towards taking Iggy and the center for the DUST-chip and parts (even if Butler is included). He attacks the basket, which we desperately need. He'll run the floor and play better defense.
If it's Brand, so be it...just be smart with your MLE and get some guys like Gooden who provides excellent insurance if Brand can't hold up. If it's Dalembert...hells yeah
