"Los Angeles is definitely a Lakers town" - Elton Brand

[GangstaBoogy]

Elton Brand listed out some of the reasons why he decided to choose Philadelphia over remaining with the Los Angeles Clippers this summer.

"Being closer to family," said Brand. "My wife (Shahara) is from Newark, N.J. and I'm from Peekskill, N.Y. We're expecting our first child soon so it's good to have a family support group reasonably close by.

"The passion of the Philadelphia fans. That can propel you to winning. We have our own city; we're not sharing it with the Lakers. Los Angeles is definitely a Lakers town, and with all their success they deserve it."

Lol remember that debate on here in 06 when the Clippers had that 1 good season and Clipper fans came out of nowhere?

Once a Dookie, always a Dookie .  And acts like they're the same Clippers management.  Yes if the Clippers won 4 NBA titles in a row they'd still be the USC hoops & White Sox to the Lakers UCLA hoops & Cubs, but the Clippers aren't even the worst organization in SoCal, or all of california anymore.  Benedict Brand & David Falk were the liars here.

Lakers r 2 Clippers like USC football iz 2 UCLA football

Lakers r 2 Clippers like USC football iz 2 UCLA football

It's not even that close though. UCLA football has a damn good history as well, while the Clippers have never done that much. If Brand would have stayed, and they became a consistent powerhouse team, they could have built up some of their reputation. But I don't ever see the Lakers playing second-fiddle to the Clippers here in LA.

i agree completely. imagine if they re-signed elton and THEN was able to trade that 2nd round pick for marcus camby? they'd have disgusting depth at the front court.

clippers are clearly trying to make a real effort this time around. elton fucked up a good thing.

I also 4got 2 mention a few years back they even tried getting Kobe on the Clippers.  Don't sound like the same old Clippers.  But no, he had 2 take the more money.  And not only would the Clippers be better than the Lakers, they woulda won a championship already.  Kobe even said so.  I never liked USC but they have a much better football history.  They're into competing for National Championships, UCLA mostly cares about competing for miniscule bowl games.

i dont think money was the motivation in the move, cuz the warriors offered him significantly more than any other team. its the fact that he wants to play on the east. he knows the east is a weak conference that is short on big men, and he saw what happened with kg when kg moved there. i still like philly's youong team, but elton brand is basically taking the coward's way out.
