Sixers fans had hoped that the NBA’s trading deadline would be a time to celebrate a change in personnel for the team.

Personnel did change.

But the team still stinks.

Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert remain as the team did nothing to shake up an overpaid and underachieving squad. They did move a few bench players.

The following is an ESPN.com report.

“The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a trade that will send Jodie Meeks and Francisco Elson to the Philadelphia 76ers for Primoz Brezec, [...]

When it all came together it gave the Sixers just enough to defeat the Chicago Bulls, 106, 103 in overtime.

I’m not sure what should be the bigger news: [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics by a point tonight, 98-97 in a game played without newly acquired Allen Iverson.  Elton Brand had a strong game off the bench, scoring 23 points on 7-12 shooting; Iguodala, Speights and Green all scored in double figures as well.
