Elton Brand

The Philadelphia 76ers will release former all star Elton Brand. The 76ers expect to sign free agent guard Nick Young and re-sign Spencer Hawes. Brand will still collect his salary for the next year from the 76ers. Last year Brand averaged 11 points per game and 7 rebounds per game. The 33 year old forward was a great asset for the 76ers throughout the season and even in the playoffs where he averaged about 9 points and 6 rebounds per game. Brand could provide any team with a tough interior defender and rebounder.
