The Sixers were booed much of the second half by the fans and some even chanted ``Fire Ed-die’’ much of the second half. It is uncertain whether they were referring to head coach Eddie Jordan or GM Ed Stefanski.

Why is Oklahoma so dysfunctional? The conversation should start and end with Willie Warren. Some had Warren as a possible lottery pick had he come out last year, and Fran Fraschilla and I bought his new-and-improved act, despite his reputation as a malcontent.

Fast forward to Year 2 under head coach Jeff Capel, who convinced Warren and his mother that if Warren returned, he would be treated like Blake Griffin and become a potential No. 1 draft pick. This seems to be the point at which things went downhill.

The Sooners have lacked top-level play and leadership as well as suffering from a variety of injuries, most recently Warren coming down with mononucleosis, sidelining him indefinitely. Warren's season is lost, and he would almost certainly need to return to Norman to repair his draft status.

Iguodala/Dalembert McGrady/Budinger, would you?

According to a source with first-hand knowledge of the situation, the Houston Rockets were willing to trade McGrady and rookie guard-forward Chase Budinger for Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert. In fact, the Rockets wanted to do this deal. The money works and the Rockets were willing to take on Iguodala's $56 million remaining contract and Dalembert's $12 million next year.

76ers Don't Want Brand, Amare Together

The 76ers are in talks with the Suns regarding forward Amare Stoudemire, but general manager Ed Stefanski reportedly doesn't want the All-Star alongside Elton Brand.

Philadelphia's reported offer for the Phoenix star involves Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert.

"Stefanski doesn't want Stoudemire and [Elton] Brand together," one source said.

Philadelphia hasn't been pro-active about trying to get a three-team deal going.

"A three-way would take effort on their part," one league official said, "and they haven't shown much of that yet."
