If everything goes as expected, the 76ers will become a huge factor in the East playoff race today, and the Clippers, well..they will still be the Clippers. This was accomplished with the signing of Elton Brand, a free-agent power forward who immediately fills the Sixers biggest need. In signing Brand turned his back on his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, who were on the verge of fielding a serious contending team.

The offseason started with a bang for the Los Angeles Clippers when they signed guard Baron Davis. That feeling of well being that the fans of the Clippers felt is expected to end today, because Elton Brand won't be the only one bolting the Clippers. Corey Maggette reportedly will sign a five-year contract worth around $50 million with the Golden State Warriors.

The acquisition of Brand apparently was made possible earlier Tuesday when the 76ers freed up additional room under the salary cap by trading reserves Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth plus a future first-round draft pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves. That deal, which will become official today, gives the Sixers more than $3 million in yearly cap space. In the trade, the Sixers acquired Minnesota's $2.8 million trade exception, which can be used in a future deal.
