Eddie Jordan: Canned
We don’t talk much NBA basketball here, but I do try to keep up with the Wizards. So it’s kind of sad (but not surprising) to read the news today that Eddie Jordan has been fired. That’s the kind of thing that’ll happen when you start the season 1-10.
The biggest question I have is: with Gilbert Arenas on the bench, does it even matter? Or is this move coming early enough to spark a turnaround?
The Wiz are a tough case but I think it’s ultimately the right move. It screws them this season, but as Dan the Man said, they needed some kind of change. They’ve had the same coach and the same basic personnel for years, and they’ve reached their limit with that scenario.
I really hope they send Stevenson packing pretty soon, too. He is largely a buffoon and it kills me seeing him get more minutes than a clearly more talented Nick Young. Stevenson was a good, cheap signing as a replacement for Hughes, but he’s run his course here.
The Braves released Rodrigo Lopez. Hehe..
