http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=9099 Elton Staying or Going? Elton Brand of the Los Angeles Clippers is another player with a big decision looming. He can invoke his early termination option and forgo the final $16.4 million he's set to earn next season. It appears unlikely that Brand would be able to recoup that full amount on the open market, but he may look to move on from a team that peaked two seasons ago. The question that Brand has to consider carefully is where exactly can he go to get paid? Very few teams have cap room. The Golden State Warriors might if Baron Davis opts out and the team lets Andris Biedrins walk, but that appears unlikely. Even if Monta Ellis re-signed, Brand might be better off in LA. The Charlotte Bobcats can only get under the cap by renouncing the rights to (or trading) Emeka Okafor. The Grizzlies do have cap room but after trading Pau Gasol to the Lakers, they don't exactly appear close to putting together a championship contender. The only way the Miami HEAT can get under the cap is if Shawn Marion opts out. If he does, Brand is said to have serious interest in Miami. Seattle has a little bit of cap space but not enough for Brand. It would take both Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison walking from the Wizards to create cap space in Washington. The one team that looks like a viable destination would be the Philadelphia 76ers. They should have slightly over $11 million in space. The Sixers are coming off a bounce-back season with their impressive (albeit losing) playoff performance against the Detroit Pistons. In the end, Brand and his agent David Falk need to decide if it's worth leaving LA to lock in a long-term deal - or just finish out his contract and wait for a better market. An extension with the Clippers is not out of the question, but Brand wants to make sure he's best in a position to win as well as get paid. -- 基本上都是谣言， 不过有个重点就是， Elton Brand 现在有个明确的是非题， 他可以选择今年投入市场，虽然起薪没有这麽划算，但是可以成功得到长约 或者到明年正式投身自由市场，但是这个选择的赌注就是， 明年的自由市场也许也没有比今年好到哪里去。 另外看了这麽久，全美的专家都认为， 今年 Elton Brand 如果跳脱，最好的选择就是 76's。 -- █ ▁ █ █ █ █ Ｐ ａ ｓ ｓ i ｏ ｎ█▌█ █ █ █ █ ██ █ █ █ ▇▇▇▇▇▇█ ａｎ ｄ █ ▇▇▇ █ 威 力。踢 | willyt@ptt/ptt2 ███ Ｐｒｉｄｅ ψabelamos --
