Sources with knowledge of the situation told the Sacramento Bee that Eddie Jordan signed a guaranteed three-year deal to coach the 76ers.

Jordan will be paid $2 million in the first season, $3 million in the second and $3.1 million in the third.

After being fired by the Wizards last November, the team owes him $4 million. That amount will be offset by his new deal.

The 76ers have spoken with two of the top point guard prospects at the NBA's draft combine.

Philadelphia was expected to meet with Ty Lawson and Jonny Flynn again before camp broke on Friday.

"I met with them, and I'll probably be working out for them later on in June," Lawson said. "They have a lot of interest in me, so I'll be happy to go there."

The 76ers have the 17th choice in the NBA Draft.

Stephen Curry said that he expected to meet with the team in Chicago.

RealGM Note: Executive Editor Christopher Reina has projected that the 76ers will take Stephen Curry with the 17th pick in June's NBA Draft.

The 76ers have hired Eddie Jordan as their newest head coach, according to ESPN.com.

League sources told ESPN that the Sixers have reached an agreement with Jordan, who was interviewed by Philadelphia general manager Ed Stefanski twice.

Jordan was fired by the Wizards in November.

Eddie Jordan has interviewed for Philadelphia's vacant coaching job for the second time, according to the Associated Press.

76ers general manager Ed Stefanski has also spoken with Mavericks assistant coach Dwyane Casey on two occasions.

Other known candidates include Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau and Sixers scout Chris Ford.

Jordan is also a candidate for the vacant head coaching job in Sacramento.

Charles Barkley believes that Eddie Jordan would be "a fine choice" as the next coach of the 76ers.

"I think Eddie Jordan would be a fine choice," Barkley said on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. "I think they're going to have a good, solid team."

Barkley endorsed Jordan in a teleconference to promote an appearance at a celebrity golf championship.

"They're pretty much stuck with the team they've got for the next few years because they're paying guys so much money," Barkley said of the 76ers. "But I think Eddie Jordan would be a good coach. He did a good job with the Washington team. They probably overachieved, him getting to the playoffs every year."

The Sixers have been in touch with a representative for Avery Johnson, according to a source.

The former Dallas Mavericks coach is currently working as a studio analyst for ESPN.

One source said "the timing isn't right" for Johnson; the other source suggested that Johnson didn't seem interested in being part of a wide-ranging search. Johnson had been working with agent Tyler Glass, but is now being advised by a consultant.

The Sixers also may reach out to Jeff Van Gundy.

The 76ers have told Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis that he is no longer a candidate for the team's vacant coaching job, according to an NBA source.

Philadelphia general manager Ed Stefanski spoke with Rambis earlier in the week.

The Suns and 76ers will play a preseason game in Monterrey, Mexico this October, according to the Associated Press.

The contest will be the NBA's 18th in Mexico, and the second held in Monterrey.

Chris Ford has interviewed for the head coaching job of the 76ers, according to an Associated Press source.

Ford, who is working as a scout, served as the interim coach of the 76ers five years ago. He also has experience as the head coach of a number of other teams, including the Celtics.

Philadelphia team president Ed Stefanski said on Friday that there is no timetable for a hire, saying all candidate are "exceptionally qualified, have an impressive knowledge of the game and are very well-respected within the basketball community."

Villanova coach Jay Wright told the Associated Press that he spoke to the 76ers about their vacant job, but will remain with the Wildcats.

Wright met last week with Sixers president Ed Stefanski to discuss the job, but called Stefanski after that and asked to be removed from consideration.

"Last week, Ed reached out to me to see if I would be willing to speak to him about the Sixers' coaching position," Wright said in a statement. "He is a longtime friend of mine whom I have great respect for and is someone I talk to often. We had a lively conversation about the vision Ed has for the Sixers organization. As a lifelong Sixers fan, I was honored to be part of the process.

"Following our meeting, I called Ed to thank him and requested that he remove me from consideration," Wright said. "I love Villanova and it is where I want to be. I am grateful to the Sixers for including me in the process. There is a lot to look forward to for Sixer fans like me with the young talent they have put together and the leadership of Ed Stefanski."
