Philadelphia 76ers: Will Elton Brand’s aggressiveness at trade deadline pay off?

Aggression wins in sports.

Putting your chips on the table and saying “We are all in” is what pays off the most, and it is not just in basketball.

Look at what the Cleveland Cavaliers did during last season’s trade deadline. They picked up shooters and defenders while unloading players who were not contributing well. It helped bring them to the NBA Finals, even though they got swept.

They have also done it in past years with players like J.R. Smith and Kyle Korver.

The Los Angeles Rams went on a free agency binge last offseason and they found themselves in the Super Bowl.
