SAS trades Richard Jefferson and Michael Finley to Philly

Philly trades Elton Brand and Thaddeus Young to Spurs

Thoughts:

Brand has picked it up over the last 3 games averaging 20/8 as he's finally getting some consistent minutes. Young is just that - a great athlete with lots of potential to be a long defender and capable scorer. Jefferson has been a major disappointment this season and Finley hasn't contributed this year and will likely retire this summer.

That said, Brand may have the worst contract in the league. Philly is going nowhere under its burden. Jefferson has one year left, and Finley provides immediate salary relief. To free themselves from Brand's untradeable contract, the price would be Young. If Brand returns to anywhere near all-star form, pairing him with Duncan would be nice. But Young could be the real steal.

Thoughts?

Here is another trade to consider

pressurez to stop posting
Spurstalk to have less dumb trade threads

Thoughts:
We have had enough trade this guy for that guy threads that would never happen. This would allow us to have at least one less poster that comes up with these threads thus raising the quality of threads/posts in here. the end.

Brand's contract is just too horrible. You have to throw in an All-Star level player on a cheap deal to balance it out. Young is good but not nearly good enough to counterbalance that franchise murdering contract Brand has.

I posted the same trade in the trade thread as a matter of conversation a couple of days ago. Probably should merge this into that thread as it doesn't warrant its own thread.
