If the 76ers are going anywhere this season, its because Andre Iguodala leads them there… Suns make Babby hire official… Warriors close to a deal with Jeremy Lin……

A person with direct knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that Milwaukee has agreed to a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers that would bring guard Royal Ivey back to the Bucks.

Will Andre Miller have to settle for Mike Bibby money?… What’s next for the Denver Nuggets with Birdman back?… Matt Barnes relocating again?… And much more!

Will the Pistons free agent signings lead to trades?…Portlands pursuit of Hedo Turkoglu heating up…76ers shorting Andre Miller?

Mindful of the past, the Philadelphia 76ers are doing their best to forget a thrilling Game 1 win. It won’t be easy. Andre Iguodala made a 22-foot jumper with 2.2 seconds remaining, and the Sixers rallied from an 18-point deficit to stun the Orlando Magic 100-98 on Sunday in Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series.

It was announced today that Elton Brand will miss the remainder of the season for the Philadelphia 76ers. Since returning from the injury list, Brand has struggled to fit into the 76ers’ offense, and found himself watching from the bench in the fourth quarter of games.

If anyone in attendance at last night’s win against the New York Knicks thought Elton Brand would come back and disrupt the Philadelphia 76ers’ new run-and-gun offense, their opinion was quickly changed after he entered the game and scored four quick points.

Samuel Dalembert played in his 236th straight game for the Philadelphia 76ers, a day after he sprained his left ankle. Dalembert spent several minutes running and testing the ankle before Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Nets. The Sixers center said he felt better because of steady treatment after he was injured in a win against Washington on Friday.

Elton Brand hoped to turn the Philadelphia 76ers into contenders in the East with his double-doubles in the post, not by his absence. They are back at .500 (20-20), have won a season-high seven straight games and won convincingly against top teams in the West like Houston and San Antonio. The 3s are falling, the fast-break is sizzling, and the defense isn’t allowing many big baskets.
