Elton Brand to Philly?  We all know the Sixers are two pieces away from being considered a legitimate playoff contender.  First, they need a low-post presence who can score and rebound.  Elton Brand, if healthy, would certainly be a great fit.  Second, the Sixers need a sharpshooter on the outside, which Stefanski thinks he can pick up in the draft.  Just look at how much Turkoglu helped the Magic and Stojakovic helped the Hornets.  The core of young players are there: Iguodala, Dalembert, Louis Williams, and Thaddeus Young all have bright futures in Philly.  With Brand in the mix, the Sixers will make a lot of noise next season.

Here is what Depressed Fan has to add:

ESPN 950 interviewed Elton Brand today and gave him the hard sell on coming to Philly to play for the Sixers. Click here to listen, sounds like he’d like to come to the Sixers and play with Andre Miller and Co.

Brand has two weeks to decide if he will opt out of his deal, and he talked about the talented young core in Philly, the fact that the Sixers are one of the few teams under the cap and how he’s in the process of weighing all of his options.
