Eddie Jordan's Days are Numbered

It's time for Ed Stefanski (76ers GM) to show Eddie Jordan the door. This Sixer team is grossly underachieving this season. Last nights game against Toronto was yet another example of how Jordan can't finish games. I know players actually "finish games", but Jordan's inconsistent substitution patterns, and the team's lack of defensive intensity has to be attributed to him.

Even though this team wasn't considered an elite NBA team, there were high expectations that they'd be a playoff team. That is a long shot at this juncture now.

It may be time to blow up this team and attempt to shed albatross type contracts like Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodola.

At this point, Stefanski should start anew and build a new team around Thaddeus Young, Lou Williams, Marreese Speights and Jrue Holiday. Everyone else, including Jordan is expendable.

Frankly, Ed Stefanski's job should be evaluated. He was the one who hired Jordan.
