Where will they go?
AP- Philadelphia, PA | Oct. 24As stated by new GM and President of the 76ers Huey Newton. The team is expected to move both Elton Brand and Andre Igoudala before the trade deadline. We have been left with this question, "Where will they go." Of course Iggy is the star of the team but he seems to take a lot of cap space.
Also Elton Brand is still winding down on his max contract, but he has been having trouble delivering. Both are expected to play in the first game of the season against the Raptors November 2. Though Mr. Newton might move both before then.

Tyler Rooks A.K.A. "Big Smooth" from Maryland has declared for the Draft this year. The 76ers brass has already started scouting this prospect.

Pacers swap Leandro Barbosa for Elton Brand and 2nd round pick
AP- Philadelphia, PA | Oct. 30The 76ers have made a trade involving Elton Brand after just 7 days of considering it from the new head man. Huey Newton was aware of the dip of production of Brand and the size of his max contract in its last two years. The Sixers moved him for ex-Raptor/Pacer Leandro Barbosa. Barbosa just has $7.60M on his expiring contract compared to Brand's $17.06M with two years remaining. The 76ers are expected to retain Barbosa in the case that he wants to return next year or go to a new team this off-season.

Report: Landry Fields declares for free agency
AP- New York, New York | 11/4/11SG of the New York Knicks Landry Fields has declared for this years free agency. Unhappy with the moves the Knicks have made this year. Last offseason the Knicks signed gaurd J.R. Smith out of free agency after returning from China ball. Fields has expressed his unhappiness to no longer be able to start for the team that selected him in the second round
"I'm not trying to create any rifts, but I wanna' start. J.R. (Smith) is good, but I established my starting role and want to be able to start for another team somewhere else if I can't start here.This opt-out is a real surprise since the season is still very young with the Knicks only playing two games this season. Turner Sports will follow where Landry Fields lands next season.

Iggy gets moved to Denver with Young, Holiday
AP-Denver, CO | 11/8/11Coming off two losses both at home, Huey Newton could take no more. (Wow sounds a little childish) Sending Andre Igoudala, Thaddeus Young, and Jrue Holiday to the Denver Nuggets for Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, and Andre Miller. This trade seems a little rushed, though the 76ers cap will open more moving Young and Igoudala at the same time. The 76ers will now have as much as $34.00M for this upcoming offseason for players they see fit since there is a lot of expiring contract on the team.
"I'm happy to be able to play for the Philadelphia 76ers and to be able to play with Ice(Italian Ice, A.K.A. Danilo Gallinari). I learned that the Nuggets were looking to move him and I demanded to be moved and I am more then glad to be able to play with a great friend."Chandler, a player that was orchestrated to the Nuggets after the mid-season Melo trade from the Knicks exploded on the Nuggets roster that was led by him and ex-Knick towards the playoffs. He will be able to play small forward for the 76ers since they would have just been left with Sam Young after the trade of Igoudala.
Grades
76ers: B-
The 76ers were able to open their cap space while still grabbing some capable talent but still have no outstanding and it may be hard for them to move foward because of this. The new GM could be bit out hard if this trade doesn't work out.
Nuggets: A
The Nuggets were able to get a few up and coming stars in Thaddeus young and Jrue Holiday, and added already star Igoudala. This trade could propel the team into playoff contention if handled correctly.
Winners: Nuggets

Chandler, Turner take over late against Houston
AP- Philadelphia, PA | 11/9/11Just a day after the Andre Igoudala trade, many fans didn't know what to expect coming into the Wells Fargo center. They may now though. Wilson Chandler and Evan Turner absolutely turned the game towards the Sixers favor in the second quarter on forcing turnover (Rockets had 20) while controlling the ball themselves (Had only 9). Fans were wooed by the dominance the two showed together tonight with support of Danilo Gallinari who concluded the game with 23 points himself.
The 76ers had trouble taking the lead for most of the start, many shots were missed. It wasn't looking good. Until coach Doug Collins told the team to play more defensively and clog the middle. The team started going on a few runs that went to the end where the Sixers led by 12 at one point and ending the game with 16 in between the margin.
"I was hot, but if it weren't for Wilson (Chandler) and Iceman(Danilo Gallinari) we would've been struggling. Evan described in his post game interview. "Even Lou was getting hot by we didn't chose the offense through him, um -pause- we still prevailed and this should carry into our game against the Bucks.New GM Huey Newton wasn't wasn't available for question as he wasn't present for the game.
POTG: Evan Turner

Fresh Lottery listHere a TNT we have been watching college prospects and have come out with the first lottery mock draft of the year. This list is being run by small fowards and shooting gaurds and its a very good sign for the future of the NBA having many dominant swingman. Right now many believe either Anthony Davis or Derrick Perkins taking the first overall pick, but I think Perry Jones will take the cake. He is a tall foward that can overpower even the like of LeBron James. He has that much athletic ability from just his size. Tyler Rooks is a player that is expected to go mid-lottery around the country, which isn't a good sign for teams like the Philadelphia 76ers or Brooklyn Nets since both teams are trying to make it to the playoffs but are looking at this kid closely but won't be expected to take him with 14-16 picks.
Drazen Petrovic is a real surprise. Not even playing college ball, he's expected still going into the lottery because of his wealth in talent. He's mostly a three point shooter so teams like the New Orleans Hornets or the Charlotte Bobcats will be looking at this kid depending on where they are in the draft this year
Continue following in the coming months for changes in the lottery.
