Ex-Clippers Superstars

Elton Brand heads East to join Philadelphia 76ers! Corey Maggette will be a Warrior!

$82 million is the estimated amount that former Los Angeles Clippers superstar Elton Brand will be receiving from the Philadelphia 76ers in a five-year deal. The movement of Brand to the Sixers will spurn what was claimed to be a great tandem between him and Baron Davis. As we know, Davis shocked the Golden State Warriors by opting out of his contract and agreeing to a five-year deal with the Clippers. Now, what could be considered as a slam-dunk tandem would be Brand and Andre Iguodala in Philadelphia.

On the other hand, another former Clippers superstar swingman Corey Maggette had reached an agreement from the Golden State Warriors; the deal is for five years and worth around $50 million. The Warriors conceded defeat in the chase for Brand's signature by quickly dealing with Maggette. Golden State responded to the loss of Baron Davis to the Clippers by offering Brand a five-year deal worth an estimated $90 million, but the Warriors never came as close to luring Brand away from L.A. as the Sixers.
