No Elton Brand for REST OF SEASON

Thursday, February 5. 2009

Per CSN Brand will not be available for tonight's game against the Pacers.

The game is a simple one tonight. It all comes down to covering the 3 pt shot. Also should be fun to see Iguodala/Yound match up against Granger.


UPDATE
CSN now reporting Brand is out for the rest of the season...

If Allen's jumper was like a shot in the gut... this is the knockout punch. When you sign a 28 year old to a 5 year, escalating 80M contract you expect the real value to be on the front end.

Now they essentially signed a 29 year old coming off 2 surgeries to a 4 yr/67M escalating deal, and he possibly won't be back at 100% to start next year. Tough news to take given how otherwise the Sixers are such a young and promising team.

This really is staggering. This is the first time in a while where I look at this team and I'm honestly at a loss as to what to think. This would be a total disaster, if it wasn't for the fact that I can't even really properly qualify as that, during a disaster you go into disaster management mode, but we're too good for that - I have no idea what to do here.

This sucks; that's all I'm able to discern right now.

I guess the 1st decision is what to do with Miller.

My guess is that he is as good as gone, and we'll never know if Brand and Miller could have meshed or not.
