Sixers fans cut Stefanski some slack, Iguodala not so much

""Darling, you've got to let me know. Should I stay or should I go?

"If I go there will be trouble, but if I stay it will be double.

"So come on and let me know, should I stay or should I go?"

- The Clash, 1982.

What we already know is that the Sixers are going to make some changes during this offseason.

Nobody is kidding themselves that a 41-41 record and a first-round loss to the Miami Heat in the playoffs are where the Sixers organization wants to stay.

People will come and people will go, and what Philly.com asked Sixers fans on Wednesday is who deserves another shot in South Philadelphia and who should be skipping out of town.

From players to executives, you had your say. Perhaps the most surprising result was that general manager Ed Stefanski, the man who has had the biggest fingerprint on this current team, wasn't nearly as unpopular as expected.

Stefanski has had a lot of anger directed his way over the past 3 years, but of the 1,950 people who voted on him only 68.3 percent said he should go.

Certainly that is a big number, but considering he is the guy who gave Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand their extremely unpopular $80-plus million contracts, I honestly would not have been surprised if that number had checked in the 90 percent range.

As it is, more voters want to see Iguodala leave town for taking the money, rather than the guy who offered it to him.

Stefanski is an interesting study.

While he's made some shaky moves - most notably the disastrous hiring of Eddie Jordan as coach in 2009 - Stefanski also hired Doug Collins before he had his powers as team president removed.

And if you like what the Sixers did and truly believe they are headed in the right direction, then Stefanski, by hook or by crook, is the guy who put this group together."
