Elton Brand No Longer Fits in Philly

Found October 29, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Elton Brand
TEAMS: Philadelphia 76ers

by Tim PovtakFiled under: 76ers, MagicORLANDO -- Elton Brand sure seems like a nice enough guy -- respectful, courteous, thoughtful, engaging. He works hard, too. Yet he also is beginning to look like an albatross hanging around the neck of the Philadelphia 76ers, the guy with the contract that will prevent them from building a serious contender in the coming years. Brand, 30, is starting his 10th season in the league, but just the second year of that five-year, $80 million contract he signed as a free agent two summers ago. Although the Sixers were convinced that signing him was wise back then, they are having serious reservations now about the move. It's one painful decision they would like to have back.Elton Brand No Longer Fits in Philly originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:40:00 EST .

by Tzvi Twersky About 30 rotations of the earth ago, I trekked down to Philly to kick it with Elton Brand.

As you read—or didn’t read—Elton and I talked ball, his future…and sneaks. I can’t/don’t know what EB’s future holds...
