i think it doesn't speak well for vucevic if hawes is getting resigned for 2 years at that money...at least not in the short term...that said who else on that roster can play center???

Lavoy Allen who just got resigned. That's pretty much it.

i think he's more of a power forward...

We just amnistied Brand and signed Nick Young to a 1 yr $6 mil deal.

Edit: Just saw that we aren't bringing Lou back either.

Are they really that desperate to keep that draft pick? You amnesty Brand for Nick Young of all people? Lou did a better job taking a bunch of jumpers and playing no defense.

While they are similar players, I like Young's size of 6' 6" than Lou's 6' 1" frame.

get ready for nick young to jack up shots...the guys got no conscience when it comes to what is and what isn't a good shot...and forget about playing any d

Except Young can actually hit spot up threes while Lou can't, which we desperately need regardless of how much of a jack he is. As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as a bad 1 year deal.

I actually like the signing of Young. To me, he's a better version of Lou Williams.

Who do you think the Sixers will target with the extra money after cutting Brand?

I don't know about better, but certainly fills more of a void being Lou was only a 33 percent spot up shooter from 3 compared to 41% for Young. He effectively replaces Lou and Meeks with something we have more of a need for. Anything other than a 1 year deal, I'd hate it. But you can't really complain about 1 year deals.

As for Brand, I have a feeling we're targeting Kris Humphries or Ilyasova.

I still don't get it. If the objective is to lose, then go all in.....trade Igoudala, dump Brand, and roll with the youngsters. If they want to win, then why get rid of Brand for a couple short term deals with lesser players? I could understand buying him out if you had a shot at Deron Williams or Gordon or Hibbert or maybe even Batum.

Doesn't make any sense to me. But do have fun with the joyride that is Young. Probably the only player in this league that could manage to convince himself that he was better at creating his own shot than Chris Paul.
