Don’t do it Ed.

Now is not the time for crazy ideas.

Comcast Sports Net is reporting that Sixers President Ed Stefanski and coach Eddie Jordan are meeting with Allen Iverson in Dallas, where the Sixers are set to continue their losing streak against the Mavericks.

Listen, things have finally gotten bad enough where the Sixers are not threatening to be a No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the playoffs, but instead qualify for the draft lottery and actually get a decent draft pick.

All Iverson does is provide a quick fix for a team in need of a long term answer – and not The Answer.

It was just last week that Stefanski said the team had no interest in signing Iverson because he did not fit their rebuilding plans and would take time away from their younger players.

I guess he changed his tune.

Would Allen Iverson bring a spark to the Wachovia Center? Yes, for at least a couple of weeks, and then what?

Iverson isn’t getting any younger and certainly not any easier to coach.

One thing this meeting does confirm: The Sixers are as desperate as we thought they were to get you into their seats.

So do you want Iverson back?

    NO! Let the neww guys learn and get a higher draft pick. To much excess bagage.

    I don’t like it either. Not that I don’t like Iverson but at this point the Sixers should be letting the young core get as much playing time as possible.

Got something to say?
