The Sixers have done it. They cleared enough cap space by trading Carney and Booth to the T’Wolves; and it appears Elton Brand signing is imminent. This makes the Sixers an extremely tough team with one of the better front courts in the league, with Dalembert at center, Brand at power forward, and Young at small forward. Iguodala will likely rotate between shooting guard and small forward; with Carney’s departure, Willie Green is the backup SG. It’s like this: the next time Willie Green plays defense, it’ll be the first time. The Sixers may now target Josh Childress for this very reason; he’s the guy I wanted the Sixers to pick in 2004 (they ended up taking Iguodala at #9, Childress went at #6).
