PG- Andre Miller
SG- Andre Igoudala
SF- Thaddeus Young
PF- Elton Brand
C- Samuel Dalembert

Not a bad lineup, but getting old. Thoughts?

I think that lineup could do big things in the East. They'd be right up there with Detroit IMO, with a proven inside player like Brand. Boston is still a notch above, but you never know what's going to happen.

This would be great for the Sixers. They lacked a low post threat last year and this would give it to them. They would definately challenge Boston in the Atlantic.

Getting old? Miller 32, Brand is 29, Dalembert 27, Iggy 24, and Young is 20. I don't think they are getting old at all. Miller is the only one that is over 30, but still has some game in him for about 3-4 more years.

Brand is in his prime and should be able to be great for the 76ers giving them 20 and 10 with 2 blocks throughout the year. Dalembert will continue to be a great defender and rebounder. Miller will continue to be the floor general and be a leader for them. Iggy and Young are some young and dangerous slashers, and both can play some D as well.

I'd say watchout of the 76ers next year if this happens. They made the playoffs last year without Brand; imagine what they can do with him. 

I would say they would definitely make the playoffs again, and could be anywhere from the 3-6th seed.

76ers would clearly be better, but the problem they had last year will still be there--NO SHOOTERS.

Back it in with a zone against this team and you can minimize the damage they cause.
