Sixers Still Looking To Lure Elton Brand?

The Sixers are still hoping to lure Elton Brand away from the Clippers once free agency officially begins in the early morning hours on Tuesday, according to The Philadelphia Daily News.

"I'm getting older - I don't know about 12:01 in the morning," Sixers President/General Manager Eddie Stefanski said.

Stefanski is waiting to see whether or not Brand exercises his $16.44 million option with the Clippers. Josh Smith and Andris Biedrins, also restricted free agents, would fit the Sixers needs, as well.
