sixers handing a 5 year deal for 80 million...to a player that just cannot stay healthy...:ohno:


PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Elton Brand's first season in Philadelphia is over.



Brand will have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder Monday, reducing the 76ers' marquee free-agent to only 29 games. Brand was first injured Dec. 17 against Milwaukee and has played in six games since his return.
He signed a five-year deal worth nearly $80 million in July and averaged only 13.8 points and 8.8 rebounds in 29 games. Brand missed all but nine games of last season with a torn Achillies'

I would think so but the wild card is if they move Miller. Expiring contract and a pretty good PG, he should have some value. Sixers are going to capped out for a while and this may be one of their only chances to tweak the team in the coming years.

He's back:

Elton Brand*made his first appearance this season after coming out of retirement to sign with the Sixers on Jan. 4. He played for the first time since May 20, 2015, when he was on the*Atlanta Hawks. The 36-year-old forward came in to start the second quarter and finished with eight points and four rebounds in 13 minutes, showing some nice range with a few spot-up jumpers.

''He's amazing to me because I didn't know what to expect,'' Sixers coach Brett Brown said. ''In a weird way, that was exciting for me to have a touch and taste of Elton Brand, seeing him for the first time, coaching him truly, for the first time in a game. I thought he was excellent.''
