Sam for Brad straight up.
For Sixers: The Brand experiment turns out very less than expected. Brad, with his passing and perimeter game will compliment better to Brand post up style. Moving Dalembert won't really affect Philly's much with their acquisition of Speights, and tough defensive bigs in Evans and Ratliff. They have at least 3 very athletic player in their starting 5 (Brand, Iggy, Young) to cover up Brads possible rebounding and slow steps.
For Kings: This is not really according to plans of rebuilding or shedding caps since Sammy's contract is longer than Brad. But is way much better defender and athletic than Brad (which is really is what most are having issues with). We will have a younger, and more athletic big rotation with Hawes, Thompson, and Sam. Come draft, we'll be picking up PG (Harden/Rubio/Jennings). And hopefully still land big names in FA09 (Hedo/Marion) for the SF spot (if we can trade Salmons for expiring, along with Moore).
Possible Kings starting lineup (I wish)
C - Dalembert
PF - Hawes
SF - Marion or Hedo
SG - Martin
PG - Rubio or Jennings or Harden
Bench:
Thompson, Garcia, Greene, Beno + other rookies and FA
