Coleman to resign with Sixers?

[uberfan]

When the initial wave of free-agent signings around the NBA subsides, it appears likely the Sixers will attempt to re-sign veteran center/power forward Derrick Coleman, probably to a 2-year contract worth in the neighborhood of $6 million. They have expressed some interest in Seattle free-agent center Elden Campbell, who turns 35 next week, and have their average salary exception (about $4.9 million as a maximum starting salary), but again could be limited by luxury-tax considerations.

We could have Coleman for the full exception. Why don't the fools in the Mavericks office pick up the phone? Idiots idiots idiots.

It's really not about who better, it's trying to get depth at the center positon and Coleman would have done that. So would Campbell.
