Eddie Jordan getting fired?

Sources tell Philly.com’s Kate Fagan that Comcast-Spectacor, the company that owns the Philadelphia 76ers, is planning on firing head coach Eddie Jordan. This is a complete shocker. Why would they just fire a coach who has a system that doesn’t work, with players that can’t run that system even if it did work? How can [...]

The dealings between Cleveland and Phoenix seem to be a last resort for the Suns.  They aren’t impressed with Ilgauskas and J. J. Hickson, but realize they need to get something for Amare Stoudemire before he walks away. The something the Suns want still remains to be Philadelphia Sixers guard/forward Andre Iguodala.  Phoenix has even [...]
