Former 76ers all star Elton Brand has found a new home in Dallas with the Mavericks. The Mavs have surprisingly been making some noise this offseason, losing Jason Kidd, being in the Dwight race, and being very close to getting Deron Williams. Brand who was dropped by the 76ers, can provide good rebounding, perimeter and interior shooting as well as good defense. In other news the Rockets are trying to make a deal for Dwight Howard and now they have released veteran center/power forward Luis Scola due to the NBA amnesty clause. The Rockets have gotten Lin to sign a 3 year offer sheet for about 28 million dollars, the Knicks have three days to match the offer. According to Knicks sources they are willing to go up to a billion dollars to obtain Lin, Lin is worth that amount to the fans maybe and many Knicks would probably be ecstatic to see Jason Kidd mentor the young talented PG Lin.
