"Eddie Jordan must read Philly.com. Who else might vote to not bring Doug Collins back as 76ers coach? In this town, only Navy SEALs are more popular than Collins right now. Even Cliff Lee's wife has dropped below him in the current rankings. Yet as of late Wednesday afternoon, 28 respondents/knuckle heads/joke-sters to a "Sixers: Stay or go?" poll thought Collins should go. (This isn't an anti-Philly fans rant; 1,486 people voted him back. Iranian dictators generally have to work for 98 percent support.)

Of the Sixers top seven players, a majority of respondents wanted only Andre Iguodala gone. Makes sense to me. Let's get rid of the team's top perimeter defender, the guy who often handled the ball down the stretch in tight games. Collins figured out how to use him, Iguodala bought in, the team took off . . . and now, goodbye?

I'm more than fine with trading Iguodala for value, preferably a shooting version of himself. If this season turned him into a tradable commodity, fantastic. But despite obvious flaws, Iguodala remains the best basketball player in this city and will be next season. Just because he wants to go doesn't mean the Sixers should let him.

(Side point: Good to see 77 percent of the respondents want Elton Brand back. He deserves that kind of support. But why do you want Brand back and Iguodala gone? Is this team building for the future or not?)"
