claudio1 +1I don't really think this is a bad move for the Sixers. Ratliff has always been a team player and not a malcontent. A good veteran backup for Dalembert as long as he can stay healthy which is a big IF. But, the team needed a little more experience with all the youth they have surrounding them and their frontline is pretty formidable if Dalembert ever decides to fulfill his potential.

Ratliff lands in Philly...

The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting that the Sixers and Theo Ratliff have agreed to a 1-year deal. Let the thievery continue. In 13 years, Ratliff has never played a full 82 games. He's had a nice pattern of arriving at a team, blocking shots out of the whazoo, getting a contract, getting "hurt" and then exiting stage left. Recently, he was "hurt" in Boston. Got traded to Minnesota, saw a chance to play, busted his tail, got praise, got "hurt" and then ended up in Detroit. Blazer fans should remember him as the "Rattler". I remember those 30+ games with ...

... take the abuse of an 82-game season? Smith logged just short of 15-minutes per night last year. Is a 35-year old Ratliff capable of putting in that kind of work? Granted the Sixers will have a host of frontcourt help this season, headlined by that Elton Brand guy, but they still needed to replace Smith. Now, with Sam Dalembert , Ratliff, Brand, Rick Ross, er, I mean Reggie Evans , and Marreese Speights , Philly could have one of the deepest front lines in the League. Source: Philly.com

The Rattler!
Published 8/19/2008 by Brian at Depressed Fan
... This time, it's being reported that Ratliff will sign a 1-year deal with the Sixers for the veteran's minimum, $1.4M. I love the move, basically because I see Ratliff as more than just a warm body. He's a shot-blocking machine who can give the Sixers valuable minutes of defensive intensity at the 5 spot when Dalembert needs a breather. ...
