Sixers accidentally put Bo Outlaw, not Travis, on their roster page

Travis Outlaw On Monday, the New York Knicks traded journeyman forward Travis Outlaw to the Philadelphia 76ers for little-used third-year big man Arnett Moultrie. Following the trade, the Sixers updated the roster page on their website to show a picture of their newest player.
One problem: They posted the wrong guy. Rather than Travis Outlaw, they updated their roster to include a picture of Bo Outlaw, whom you may remember from the turn-of-the-century Orlando Magic. Bo Outlaw is 43 years old and retired from the NBA in 2008.
Here’s a screenshot, via SB Nation:
There are two equally sad pieces to this story:
1. Bo, at age 43 and seven years into retirement, could very well be a better player than Travis.
2. Even still, Travis would still probably be one of the five best players on a historically awful Sixers team.
It doesn’t matter regardless, because the Sixers waived Outlaw immediately following the trade. Probably because he was too good. Which is sad, because Travis Outlaw hasn’t been a relevant NBA player since 2009.

Sixers tanking so hard. The entire organization is committed to it. Impressed!

Wow! Even the 76ers doesn’t care who is in their roster!

Beyond wondering why this is newsworthy. There’s a couple of points I wonder about…
You guys are quick to point out someone else’s error in pictures but I’ve seen multiple pictures on this site with the wrong name attached-the most egregious being a picture of R&B singer Ne-Yo being called Allen Iverson.
My second point is what did Travis Outlaw do to be disrespected like that? He’s a horrible basketball player, but you basically created an article to tell us how bad of a player he is. Ah well, I fell for it…you got your click.

That’s hilarious. Bumble on Philly, bumble on.
