ESPN is reporting, “NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that Brand has informed the Sixers that he will accept a five-year deal worth an estimated $82 million.” Brand and the Sixers do indeed have to wait until the clock strikes midnight to make everything official.

I will be constantly updating this and you can keep checking in for my latest version here. I also have all good intentions to live blog the NBA Draft tomorrow starting at 7 p.m. should I not pass out on Early Times whiskey first.

In the live blog, I will dish out my thoughts on the picks and make sure I put in writing every ridiculous thing that comes out of the mouths of Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy.
So here’s Blast’s live draft:

June 2, 2008 Leave a Comment
The “D” in Sammy D. does not stand for “details,” apparently. As in, the detail that his business partners didn’t actually have the rights to license products and merchandise for “Speed Racer,” despite the Philadelphia 76ers center investing more than a million dollars in the project back in 2006. Well, the seven-footer wants some money [...]
