Good for him.

Glad we’re not in the Sixers’ division anymore.

Nice

Not a bad gig at all. I hope we can finish ahead of them this year.

Getting buckets since 2003.

Good for him

Wish he’d been in Sacto because I would like to root for him. At least we wont have to worry about facing a tough D in Phili.

Etan would look great in red, white and blue

Give Philly a ring, Ernie!

Sixer are going to be very entertaining, but again they aren’t making it past the first round

I think a lot of that depends on Thadeus Young

Dude could possibly make some huge strides next year. EJ should be a great fit for that squad.

So does this mean we don't have to pay him?

Depends

The Wizards have to pay Eddie Jordan any difference between his Philly contract and the $4Million they owe him for this year.

So if his contract with Philly is for $1 (one dollar), the Wizards will have to pay $3,999,999.00 for Philadelphia’s Head Coach.

That would be pretty sleazy of the Sixers ...

I would imagine the Wiz will be on the hook for no more than $1.0 million…

My prediction: The Sixers will do about as well under EJ as the Wiz did. Playoffs then one round and out. Having Samuel Delambert to deal with at Center with a mega-contract is God’s revenge on EJ for having misused Brendan for all those years.

I think this is a terrific fit for all involved

He has an up-tempo team so he can run a lot of things he ran in New Jersey and I think the personnel could fit the Princeton when they are in halfcourt as well. Maybe the 76ers are this year’s Hawks (surprising second round team).
