    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Derrick Coleman will remain a 76er.

    The 6-foot-10, 270-pound forward/center, considered finished by many before a stellar postseason performance, reached a two-year agreement with the Sixers worth $10 million to $12 million, team sources said yesterday.

    It's a done deal," one source close to both Coleman and Sixers president/general manager Billy King confirmed yesterday. "DC will be in Philadelphia."

    Coleman averaged 13.6 points and eight rebounds in the playoffs, including 16.5 points and 11 rebounds against Detroit in the Eastern Conference semifinals</div>

    As for the article says...If Sixers had traded for Keon Clark..philly would likely of not re-signed him...two year deal worth 10/12 million? [​IMG]

    5-6 mil a year for two years isn't that bad.

    Hes worth five. He was injured and played really well in the playoffs. I m Glad they kept him. I wonder if Coleman and Jackson will start or will Kenny Thomas start.

    I don't see why not. The only thing that might get in the way is attitude because he when this guy blows up there is nothing stopping him.

    That is a really good question. I'm hoping he will play to his full with LB...they have all know Ayers for a while too so I'm hoping that won't be his excuse.

    Good move by only signing him for 2 years and not like 5 years.

    Very good move, seeing as T-Mac probably won't play too much. He filled his void very well in the late part of the season and in the playoffs. He will most likely play the five, and have Kenny at the four. An undersized five, but it worked out for that time, let's see if it works out long-term?
