In what should be the final move of a hectic summer, the Sixers are expected to add veteran center Theo Ratliff. According to a source familiar with the situation, the 6-foot-10 Ratliff has accepted a one-year contract for the veterans' minimum of $1.4 million. Ratliff, 35, had offers for more money but would prefer playing for the Sixers, the source said.

Okay, I'm ther first poster so this may change, but as of right now, the title of this article reads: Ratliff nixes offer to join Sixers. Then of course, the story about him accepting a contract. What to go T&R!

Agreed! I was surprised when I saw this headline considering the local news had reported him signing, then I read the story. Dopes.

He is going to Europe. The obvious choice. Just like Shawn Kemp and Pargo.

What team(s) were the offers that he nixed from?

Somebody need to attend some elementary English classes. In my language "nix" means to reject something... not sign a contract.

Title means: "Ratliff [rejects other offers and] joins the Sixers". It's clumbsy but accurate. You shouldn't have to decipher the title of the article.
