    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">According to O'Brien, no decision has been made on whether Derrick Coleman will be back next season. The often-injured Coleman, who at times started at center, missed 48 games last season.

    Iverson missed a career-high 34 games due to injury. O'Brien has not talked to Coleman, but has chatted with Iverson.

    "I know Allen is very disappointed in what transpired this past year and he, I believe, will do everything in his power to turn that around," O'Brien said.</div>

    I don't like the idea of Coleman being back for the 76ers. They need to move on from him once and for all to avoid the endless injury plagued seasons Coleman is famous for.

    That decision should have been made awhile ago. It's pretty obvious whether or not he should be back.

    That's a good question. But I'm sure there might be at least one team that would consider taking him in. Yes, he injury prone and lazy, but when he's motivated and healthy he's not as bad as he seems to be.

    Now that Derrick Coleman is most likely heading out. We would need another big man to back up Kenny Thomas and Samuel Dalembart. Mark Blount was rumored to come to Philadelphia. Hopefully, we'll be able to get him. All we would need know is a backup PG and a SF.

    Yeah I think injuries have ruined Colemans career if I were him I'd be thinking about callin it quits,I doubt there are any teams that want DC but you never know,if we were to trade him I dont think we would get anything helpful in return,unless we trade him in a multiple player deal.Maybe the Sixers will trade Snow,DC,and Glenn in the same trade, I think we could get some decent players in return if a trade like that were to happen

    Regarding Coleman... from the chat with Jim O'Brien on Monday:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> We have not made a firm decision on Derrick. Billy and his staff, along with me, will evaluate all our players in depth, including Derrick. We want to see if this is a place, an environment that Derrick will thrive in.</div>
