Dallas claim Elton Brand

[boozehound]

I feel sorry for Dallas though. They're getting all these players but all in same position. If only Brand and Scola weren't PF's.

dont think they will get scola.

If they get Scola, they can definitely flip him to a team thats over the cap for a nice return, Spurs, Clippers, Nets, etc.

Sean Highkin: Clippers paid Ryan Hollins more than the Mavs' amnesty bid for Elton Brand.

amnesty players cant be traded.

[DTreats]

amnesty players cant be traded.

Why not?

[d.bball.guy]

[R.I.P.]

Why not?

Rules.

[DuMa]

Why not?

because thats the stipulation of the clause. Amnesty players cant be traded for 1 year. you win the bid on him, you must keep him for a year.

[DTreats]

Rules.

Says who?

[Crown&Coke]

2.1, thats it? Damn you Cuban and Donnie!!

Damn philly was probably hoping it was closer to 5 at least

[hawkfan]

2.1M was the winning bid

That's nothing.
Why didn't another team bid higher?

If the Mavs add Scola, then adding Scola, Brand and Kaman is pretty good for this off-season.

[no pun intended]

Can someone clarify how amnesty bidding works? Is it silent?

[DuMa]

Clippers mid-west

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Is it silent?

Yes.

That's some bullshit.

Like the Cavs or whoever else with capspace couldn't have used his veteran leadership for ONE YEAR for more than that? Jesus christ.
