Frank Hughes of the Tacoma News Tribune reports: The Sixers, inundated with injuries, went back to the past, trading with the Charlotte Hornets for Derrick Coleman, who wreaked havoc in the City of Brotherly Love for four years before being let go.

And the Bucks completed a trade earlier in the week to free up enough cap space for the free-agent acquisition of Anthony Mason.

Both players have been in bars and behind bars more often than Mickey Rourke's character in "Barfly." And both have a penchant for sending their respective teams over the proverbial edge.
