  I think Smith Fits into our System better as a defensive player, and he can jump out of the gym just like Carney could. He is a future All-Star and is only 22. However if you want to win now and assuming Brand is back to himself then I would go with Brand. He gives us a half court offense and will take a ton of preasure off of other players like Iggy. Booth never plays so no loss there. Either way one of them is going to end up as a 76er next year and that is exciting. There is no way that Atlanta can match 14-15 million......Also for some reason they want to go in the trade direction. It is rumored that the Pistons are shopping Wallace and his contract happens to be 15 Million which the 76ers now can pay. Everyone knows that Cheeks and Wallace are great friends so it is not that far fetched. Can't wait to see what happens!!!

  It's all about dollars. I'd take a healthy Brand over an overpaid Smith, but I'd take Smith at 11 mil over Brand at 15-16. The worst thing we could do is to throw the Brand money all at Smith and way overpay for him just to keep Atlanta from interfering. I've said this before, but the next two FA classes are much better than this one. Smith in either of these upcoming classes could never command the kind of dollars we're thinking about throwing his way.

  I said it before and I will say it again we need to take smith over brand. brands knee is still a question mark as we are a running team, (remember Mcnabb) brand is a half court player (we are a runing team) I dont see where this guy fits now smith on the other hand can flat out run, jump, and block plus he can give you the 15points a game that brand will give you

  brand would give them that sought after low post presence but i doubt they get him....he also has a history of injuries so i dont know how he will play this year...although josh smith wont immediatley put them over the top he will be a step toward improving vastly

  But would you pay 15 mil for Smith next season? That could be what it costs, and that's ridiculous.

  Sixers made a risky move with brand, but we will have to see. I think Brand would have been better of with the Warriors, but they might be better with Maggette. The T-Wolves have a pretty good future under their belt with Carney, Love and the rest of the young crew.

  The 76ers have a better future than the twolves. Rodney Carney will not be good in the future he never had progress when he was with philly so i dont see him doing any good with the twolves. The sixers have a great young bench like lou willilams and thaddeus young and a few others. This team will be a really big contender this year and will make it into the playoffs i still dont see them being a nba finals contender but the sixers are very close. I still think they need one more piece to the puzzle to make them a finals contender. I think they can do better than willie green at sg. But watch out for the sixers cuz they are back

  This was a great move for the Wolves. The 76ers sent cash along to pay for Booth's contract and all but 1/3 of Carney's so the Wolves are basically taking a flying on Rodney for nothing. Plus they only give up the second rounder if they are one of the best five teams in the NBA next season.
