Brand On His Way To Philly

ESPN is reporting that the Sixers will indeed sign Elton Brand tomorrow, for a reported 82 millions over five years.
This is obviously huge news for Hawks fans, as Philly was the alleged leading contender for Josh Smith's services. If Brand does indeed sign with the Sixers, the worry is far from over for Atlanta. Golden State still has a ton of cash to spend, and now the Clippers too have cap space and a fairly large hole at the forward position. If I am Josh Smith though, I have to be feeling a little hurt. Philly just gave me the five-star treatment and then left me standing at the altar? What gives?Who knows how all this will end, but hopefully what happened tonight will help us out in our quest to keep both Joshes right here in Atlanta. UPDATE: It looks like Corey Maggette is signing with Golden State for five years, 50 million. That takes up a sizeable portion of the Warriors cap space, which means for Josh Smith, at least as of right now, it's either Atlanta or the LA Clippers. Maggette-to-Golden State = another move that favors the Hawks.
