Several members of the Sixers have heard the rumors that Eddie Jordan may be fired at the end of the current season.

"It?s just tough being in a culture with a lot of losing and a lot of uncertainty," said Andre Iguodala. "As players, we have to expect that. You have good teams that change coaches out of the blue because they didn?t get over the hump and bad teams change coaches because they didn?t get where they need to go. It can happen on any level. It?s a part of the business. You have to be ready and mentally prepared for it."

Elton Brand took a more low-key approach, saying "we've heard the whispers, but we don't know what's going on with that. We just try to stay focused and get prepared to play well and win ballgames."
