Micah’s take on the Elton Brand situation:

It might be good news for the Sixers, if that makes any sense. The Sixers are a young, fast team that likes to play defense (except for Lou Williams) and run the floor. They run all day everyday, and twice on Sundays. Their game is fastbreak after fastbreak.

However, that is not remotely Brand’s game. Brand was supposed to be the half-court presence they need so badly. The team doesn’t fit what he does best and he doesn’t fit what the team does best. It’s tough to play half-court basketball when no one on the team can knock down an open jumper.

With Brand missing time earlier in the season, the Sixers went on a tear. If they are able to stay hot and make a deep run into the playoffs, don’t be surprised if Stefanski tries to move Brand in the offseason.
