Theo Ratliff, who played for the Sixers from 1997 to 2001 and has since played with five different franchises, is coming back to Philly after signing a one year deal with the Sixers. Ratliff is 35 years old, but is still a decent big man with good shot blocking abilities. While this isn't an earth shattering move, signing another big man became a necessity after the Sixers learned they may be without Jason Smith for the year, and Ratliff makes a good veteran compliment to Samuel Dalembert at the center position.
This signing completes your 2008-2009 Sixers roster. Here is the team that will take the floor next season:
Starters:
PG Andre Miller
SG Andre Iguodala
SF Thaddeus Young
PF Elton Brand
C Samuel Dalembert
Bench:
PG Louis Williams
SG Kareem Rush
SG Willie Green
SG Royal Ivey
PF Reggie Evans
F/C Marreese Speights
C Theo Ratliff
F/C Jason Smith (Inj.)
Ed Stefanski has built the deepest Sixers team I have seen in a long time. Every player on the roster is useful, every player has a role. The only problem I see is that there are too many guards on the roster, so we might see Willie Green traded for a draft pick or cash.
