    Apparently he has been amnestised by Philly

    At 6'8, he would fit right in

    He'd be a nice asset for the right amount of $.

    I think we have an open roster spot for another 6'8" power forward.

    No to Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki or any other declining star. The Rockets either need a star in his prime, like Dwight Howard, or they need to play the young guys, accept a losing season or two and rebuild through the draft.
    Let Brand go to a contender and chase a ring like Steve Nash.

    Why wouldn't anyone want an aging gracefully Elton Brand 2012-2013 version a part of their extensive power forward collection?

    I'm still bitter that he won Co-Rookie of the year with Franchise. Steve should have won it out right. BS

    Houston has Scola, Jones, White, Dmo, Ppat, Morris.....

    SMH Houston fans. C'mon now.

    Only if we still needed a contract to meet the league cap minimum. Other than that I would rather see our young prospects.

    Well, I thought about it, because Brand on a deal for $5M or less for a year would be something you probably could get something of value from a contender for, however I believe you can't trade an amnestied player you put a waiver claim on, although I'm not totally sure.

    Maybe somebody can clarify.
