Why would Cleveland spend all the money it would take to sign a B-level player like Iggy? What point does that serve?
If you are saying we would have to overpay to get Iggy, I would tend to agree, but we are going to have to overpay just about anybody to come here at this point. I want to see this team move forward, another year of tanking, and then hoping for the ping pong balls to bounce right isn't high on my list of things to look forward to. If they don't, then what? We would have wasted another year. Our young guys still wouldn't have really played any meaningful (read Playoff) games and we would right where we are now.
Now, if he demands max type money, of course I wouldn't be down with that, but I doubt that would be the case. Maybe a 3 or 4 year deal would allow the team to draft and groom his eventual replacement while he would still be productive.
I know there other possible ways to go, but this way we don't end up trading our future picks, we just use some of the capspace that we currently have. As for 2014, I just am not buying into the pipe dream of some people that Lebron is just waiting to come back and fulfill his "promise" of bringing a title to Cleveland. I may be wrong, but it is just as likely that pigs will sprout wings and fly imo.
