 Sixers' Speights still positive despite second injury of season
BOB COONEY

Marreese Speights' season hasn't been much different than that of many other players and coaches in the organization - that is to say it has been frustrating, borderline maddening. But the second-year forward/center out of Florida has been able to keep that devilish grin present throughout the season. He is the team leader in fist-pounds and high-fives and any other sort of congratulatory demonstration he can think of.

 Phil Jasner: Trade deadline rumblings for Sixers
By Phil Jasner

HERE'S WHAT YOU REALLY need to know about the NBA trade deadline:

It's Feb. 18 at 3 p.m.

Between now and then, you will read and hear dozens of rumors involving the 76ers. Some will have validity, others will not. Remember, there are Web sites devoted to having something different every day. I'd be more inclined to pay attention to ones in which people actually sign their names and take responsibility.

 Inside the Sixers: Ready to pull the trigger on a deal?

One year ago, the 76ers watched the trading deadline pass.

The reason was as simple as a foul shot: Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski believed in his young nucleus. The belief made sense. His team - the core of which was that young nucleus - was on its way to making its second straight playoff appearance. The Sixers seemed to be one of a handful of young NBA franchises with better days ahead, not in the rearview mirror.

 Sixers' GM: No untouchables

When Ed Stefanski was asked yesterday about reports that have swingman Andre Iguodala involved in possible trades, the 76ers president and general manager did not rule out anything.

"I won't talk about trades or rumors," said Stefanski, who formerly was the general manager of the New Jersey Nets. "I will say that we're very active in talking to teams throughout the league, and we're listening to any option to improve the basketball team. When I was in Jersey, and here, I don't think there are untouchables.

 Sixers Notes: Iverson sits, status unsure for tonight

Allen Iverson did not play last night against the Boston Celtics and he may - or may not - play tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers.

76ers coach Eddie Jordan appeared to think his starting guard would be in street clothes tonight against the Clippers, although a few minutes later a Sixers official clarified Iverson's status.

 Iverson practices with Sixers

Yesterday on the 76ers' practice floor, a ring of media surrounded Allen Iverson.

As Iverson spoke, Lou Williams, in street clothes, walked out of the gym at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine without interruption.

It was an odd moment considering that two weeks ago, the Sixers were Williams' team and he was the one answering questions.

 Sixers Shopping Brand?
PHIL JASNER


Sixers president/general manager Ed Stefanski responded to an ESPN item quoting two anonymous GMs in the NBA saying that Elton Brand had been made available. "Not true," Stefanski said . . . The Jazz, with just nine players available, started Eric Maynor and Wes Matthews as its first all-rookie backcourt since Deron Williams and Andre Owens, Nov. 15, 2005. Maynor and Matthews (16) combined for 29 points on 11-for-25 shooting, 4-for-6 on three-pointers . . . Matthews is the son of Wes Matthews, who appeared in 465 games with six teams, including 14 as a Sixer in 1983-84 . . .

Philly.com is reporting that the 76ers Elton Brand has been made available to other teams for a trade before the deadline.
