Tonight, the League will release its updated salary cap numbers. This is precisely determine how much the Sixers have to spend if teams can officially begin signing free agents tomorrow. Then all eyes are on Elton Brand. Which team he chooses to deal with - most reports suggest the Clippers as a favorite on the Golden State - could decide how the rest of the market will swing. Until then, agents and team officials are silent. If the Warriors can not attract fire away, they were the Sixers in the exercise of the remaining top players available. Golden State has a lot of money to spend after the loss of Baron Davis to Los Angeles. The warriors are of the opinion that have offered fire between $ 10 million and 20 million U.S. dollars more than Los Angeles, would free up capital, if not fire. The Sixers expect that approximately $ 11.5 million to spend. This figure could go up or down, depending on the league adjustments. Golden State might be interested in, the same as the Sixers players, including Josh Smith, Philadelphia, visited last week. Smith's agent would not comment.
