He was released via the amnesty clause in 2012. Brand was coming off a ruptured Achilles tendon and then separated his shoulder and missed most of his first year in Philly. But when Philly offered Brand an extra $7 million, he headed east.

Originally Brand was going to re-sign with the Clippers and team up with free agent Baron Davis. The five-year, $82 million contract Elton Brand signed with the Philadelphia 76ers is special because of the bad contract domino effect it caused. He returned 70 pounds slimmer and won a ring with Miami in 2012, although he didn't play in a single playoff game. By 2008 Curry weighed more than 330 pounds and was out of the rotation. Curry could score, but that's all he could do - no defense, no rebounding - and the Isiah Thomas-era Knicks were no place for a young player to develop.
2 pick in the draft to Chicago (LaMarcus Aldridge, whom Chicago would trade to Portland whoops). Instead the Knicks traded for Curry and gave him $60 million and also traded what turned out to be the No. Even though doctors cleared him to play, the Bulls demanded a DNA test to check for a congenital heart condition before they'd give Curry an extension. Curry was a young center who'd led the Bulls to the playoffs at age 22 before getting sidelined with an irregular heartbeat. We're going with Eddy Curry over the inexplicable Jerome James contract the year before (five years and $30 million) just because of the trade cost. There are so many bad Knicks contracts for big men that it's hard to choose.
