I bet you dollars to donuts Brand gets traded this year for a high pick and expiring deals. Not to us, but somewhere... mark my words. Unless Wilcox totally sucks it up Brand is going to get moved... its Sterling's way. Wilcox will start playing better and Don just wont be able to resist shaving that payroll.
Yeah, the Clippers deluded themselves into thinking Kobe was on the way. I could see Brand moving (for Reef? Walker?), especially with Wilcox coming along nicely. I just wish the Knicks had gotten in on the Clippers moving Melvin Ely earlier this summer for a second round pick! Damn.
As far as trading Kurt - I have a weird feeling that POR/MIN/NYK three way could be brewing with Kurt and Moochie to Minnie, Reef to NYK and Wally to POR.
I also wonder whether Isiah is dangling Shandon for Ruben Patterson, which could be part of the same trde.
