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.

Yeah, geez, why don't the Sixers just force Orlando to trade Dwight Howard to us, lol.— JimG- NBA championship, here we come!— esesjay
- im thinking championship!!!!— ConservativePatriot22
- How come the Sixers will not just go around the city and sign some ball players from some on the city playgrounds? I bet you there will be some who could bring excitement, play hard every game, and be more than willing to take the league's minute salary. I'm not joking either. This is just sad that they feel the need to load up on 15th man talent.— Nothing but the truth
- Primoz Brezec?? another irrelevant addition to an irrelevant team...just pathetic ed.— gwizy744
- sixers are strapped cause of the Brand deal. Hindsight is a bad deal so far. I think Josh Smith was a better fit although we have too many small forwards.— maximus
People that try to preach patience when you see other teams that are also over the cap that also have no realistic shot to win a championship how realistic is that. To compare a baseball roster to a basketball roster is not realistic. Most basketball team only go 10 deep in the rotation. There is less maneuverability to make mistakes. People have been patient for years. Patient when they traded Malone, patient when the traded Barkley. Patient when then drafted Bradley. Patient when they traded for Mutumbo.- Who is this guy? He couldn't even stay in the NBA. The Sixers are really digging deep.— Horlet
- Lock him up to a long term deal!!! Don't worry about overpaying - don't go on the cheap!— Bobphxville
