I say Brand to Miami , Davius to NY & Arenas stays where he is . Stephen A pretty much said Baron wants NY. Wizards apparently offered agenct zero , you ready, 100 Mil contract. Speculation is that Brand wants a shot at a ring after watching Boston. I'm guess it might be Miami

On what planet is Miami a shot at a ring?

The planet where they have Dwyane Wade, Shawn Marion and Elton Brand. 

 If Brand is smart, he goes to Cleveland or Orlando    .

 

Philadelphia however is the only playoff team with caproom.

and Beasley...... They could easily trade Beasley for whats missing . YOu dont think ? Between the MLE and Beasley ..they have options. Wade , Brand & Marion is one hell of a good start. Could also keep Beasley to back up Brand especially as he works his way back .

 

Keep Marrion and do trade Haslem and Blount for Brand

Brand in Philly would be interesting! Philly gave Detroit a run for their money! Philly is that blue collar team and that's Brand's style! Brand, Iguodala and Miller is something to think about!

In what league can they afford to pay all 3 of those guys? Hint: this isn't the MLB.

Tel that to us NY fans... There is always a way to spend stupid money

i wonder if  Sterling would really screw over the clippers by actually trading for haslem and Blount for Brand when he has a budding star in Thornton when he could offer B diddy money to come to the clips to play alongside Brand and Thornton, but then again it is Sterling we're talking about ..

Word is Davis has verbally agreed to sign with the Clips, which likely brings Brand back to the Clips.  Brand might get his shot at a ring with the Clippers! (Just typing that felt wierd)

Word is the Wiz are offering Arenas max salary ($126 million over six years) instead of a mere $100 million.  Washington was just as good this year with Arenas out as they were when he played the previous year.  I like Arenas, but I don't think he's worth that kind of money.  It's questionable whether he's one of the top 5 guys at his position.

 

So what do you suggest the Wizards do? Let Gilbert walk?

no, but will that leave them with $ to re-sign Butler in the future ?

No I'd suggest they sign and trade him. Giving him 126 M is IMO is just plain stupid. No one else can pay him that. Its a kind of Allan Houston situation. Bidding against yourself.

OK, if Arenas can command top salary, then I can play in the pros.  Look for me in Vegas this summer!
