Win-win situation as Ratliff returns to Sixers

These are Theo Ratliff's terms of endearment. He made 215 appearances with the 76ers from 1997-98 to 2000-01 and referred to it as "a dirty business" when he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, in part because he had a fractured wrist but mostly because the Sixers thought they needed Dikembe Mutombo to deal with the Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal in the NBA Finals.
He left angrily, reluctantly. Seven years later, at 35, the 6-10 shot-blocking center/power forward is back, eagerly, happily. As an unrestricted free agent after finishing last season with the Detroit Pistons, he rejoined the Sixers on Tuesday, signing a 1-year contract for the veterans' minimum for players with at least 10 seasons of experience.
It's a good deal for the Sixers, who needed a big man to fill in for...
