Sixers Adding Brezec
The 76ers have reached an agreement in principle to sign veteran center Primoz Brezec, according to multiple sources.
The deal is supposedly for one year at the minimum for a player with seven seasons of service in the NBA.
The 7-1 Brezec, 29, is expected to come to Philadelphia sometime next week. He is currently playing with the Slovenian National Team.
Brezec spent last season in Italy after logging time with the Indiana Pacers, the Charlotte Bobcats, the Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors.
More coming in tomorrow's Daily News.

ALMOST doesnt count 76er. The point is they didnt beat them and they're not good enough to compete with teams like Boston or Orlando or Cleveland. They sixers need to get worse in order to get better. No one knows their role on this team. No real 3pt shooter since Korver left. They havent had a real center since Mutumbo and before that it wasnt since the 80s. Thats horrible. This team is mediocre at best. If they keep going the way they are going they are gonna be a playoff team each year that gets to round 1 or 2 at the most and then get lousy draft picks and just be stuck in mediocrity. They need to get pretty bad so they can stock up on lottery picks, dump some salary and then they can rebuild. Keep Young, Holiday, Speights, maybe Iggy and get rid of everyone else— philliekev04- Comment removed.
- Primo has a little talent (I watched him in Charlotte for 2 years) but no conditioning or fire. He'll fit right in.— RichNC
- We basically picked up a guy who can shoot when wide open, something Dalembert couldn't do. Basically, we completed one complete center by having Brezec and Dalembert... too bad it's two separate people.— FlySixPhiEagles
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 76ers.— ArtMooney
- Brezec who?. i'am thinking that the sixers want to get rid of the center that they have now. i really can not remember the guys name. The guy from Haiti.— Donnie
- Looks like dude got punched in the eye.— PhillyIam
- you gotta feel for those poor souls in the Sixers ticket office, just trying to meet their sales quotas and keep their jobs in this tough economy. talk about not having a full deck to play with. sadly, this is probably an upgrade over Sammy (actually, European centers with range are usually a good fit for the Princeton offense -- if he can dish)— stigs
- Ah, Brezc. The final piece!— Vituperator
- The NBA has just given permission for the Sixers to print playoff tickets!— JBP
- Ed Stefanski clearly has a vendetta against the Sixers team and is hellbent on destroying this franchise from the inside. I think he's still feeling some type of way about getting rooked on the Kyle Korver deal and is looking for payback.— stonemason
- who is buying tickets to this garbage?— bababooey2yall
- ruben amaro, I hope you're taking notes. This is how you solidify your chances for a championship.— franknbeans
- e understand how the NBA works in order to be successful a GM needs to not give a max contract to a 30 year old coming off micro fracture surgery. All that Stefanski has done for this team is ensure a cycle of mediocrity. They should have let Iguodala walk, and saved their cap space from last season. The only way to get better in this league is to get lucky in the lottery, or sign a young superstar. Having your capped tied up with Elton Brand and Iggy is not a way to run a successful franchise.— Rob Neyer sucks
