    What? Did some players send another round of photographs in front of the bathroom mirror out via their phone again? :NOTMARIS:

    Really? Just "worth the risk"? Yeah, I can see Philly after half a season giving up the #2 pick for Rudy and Andre Miller. SURE. Come on.

    If we're rebuilding and/or retooling, seems like there's a few ways to go about it, but I'd be more than happy to take on Elton Brand to also get Evan Turner. Worth the risk. You overpay Brand for two years, when we won't have cap space anyways, and hope he gives you what he is currently giving Philly. Start him at PF alongside Aldridge, and bring him off the bench at the 4/5 if/when Camby is healthy.

    Except that we don't really have the contracts to make that deal unless Oden or Camby is included, neither of which I see happening.

    I believe my original post said something about doubting Philly goes for it. As for "Just" worth the risk - Turner's rookie season so far looks very much like Adam Morrison's rookie season... #2 or #3 - the dude is more a risk, so far, than a sure thing - and like Ammo - he was a great college player with some real athletic concerns at a "skill" position. Dude is a risk, no doubt about it.

    Przy, Miller, Babbitt and Dante or Armon for Turner, Brand and Battie works financially. I think there's no chance they'd do it. But the money fits.
