NBA Offseason: Where the Contenders Will Go from Here----Part 2

My guess is Philly will keep one of the two players, most likely Iguodala, who is a burgeoning superstar, and free up enough space to make a run at one of the power forwards or centers who could become available.

Antwan Jamison and Elton Brand will be the two big named power forwards tossed around by teams, and Jermaine O'Neal, however injury prone, could benefit from a change in scenery and a better supporting cast.

The guess here is that they will go after Elton Brand, who will have a hard time demanding a huge contract since he was injured almost all of last year and there will be concerns about that.

If they get Brand, imagine the line up the Sixers could put out on the floor next year.

Andre Miller at point guard, Willie Green or Igoudala at the shooting guard, Thaddeus Young or Igoudala at the small forward, Brand at the power forward, and Dalmebert at the center, with Reggie Evans and Rodney Carney and a maybe a mid-level guy like Bonzi Wells or Quentin Ross as well.

Now tell me that isn't one of the best four teams in the East next year.

I know I said I would do the Nuggets in this installment, but they are so interesting as a player this offseason I want to spend more time on them and save them for last. Tomorrow I will do the Rockets, Nuggets, Raptors, Wizards, Hawks, and Mavericks.
