Hot-lantic Division
OK, so maybe Brand vs. KG isn't quite the Doctor vs. Bird, but after having had to suffer through the re-emergence of the Celtics, it's great to see the Sixers putting together a good f^cking team in the post-AI era that might be able to go throat-to-throat with the Evil Empire.
Although I admit some personal sadness that Philly didn't get Josh Smith, adding Brand makes them a talented, versatile, and dangerous team. (I really hope he stays healthy, and they can sign AI2.)
Who's giving McHale heat for making that trade? It's a good trade for Minny -- the second in a row for the Hibbing hero. Carney could be a good player, Booth's a big body to have around, plus another 1st round pick (more cushion for McHale inevitably blowing one of the other picks), and they gave up nothing to get it. Why shouldn't McHale make that trade.

I was waiting for you to chime in JLev. I am psyched to see another old school rivalry return. Beating the Sixers in a game that matters already get my blood workin.
I heard criticism of McHale on sports radio of the sort: What? He is gonna help another team get awesome, ala Garnett to the C's. A silly comparison of trades in many ways.

But the Atlantic is all the sudden pretty tough. The Champs, Sixers, Raptors with Jermaine. Perhaps a return to respectability?
