memphis sends gay and swift
philly sends iguodala and evans

Why for memphis igoudala would be a better fit in the starting line up. new line up conley, a.i., miller, gasol and darko

Why for philly. I realize that at this point andre is a little better than gay but at the same time gay has more potential. So this quite evens the thing but the most important thing thats this trade makes is how it position philly to be a major player in the 2009 f.a. market and at the same time they have a lot of talent. New line up after the trade miller, carney, young, gay and dalembert.

Memphis passes on this easily.

Interesting.

Could work in the offseason via sign and trade. But memphis would have to be willing to give Iggy his contract hes seeking.

We're not taking back Evans though.

Sixers pass... pretty fair trade though.

Sixers pass big time

I would definitely think the Sixers pass...

can somebody explain theyre objetions to the trade

Not a sixers or memphis fan, but....6er fans have you seen gay play this year? If I am Philly I do it in a heartbeat. And you get Swift as a "throw-in".

I guess it comes down to incentive. What's in it for Philly? Why are they dealing the better player? You can talk about the stats being exactly the same, and they essentially are, but Iggy is a far superior defender and doesn't have the luxury of playing off of guys like Gasol and Mike Miller...

i agree that at this point igoudala is a better player than gay but gay has way more potential, at the same time this trade gives philly more salary flexibility

This trade does give philly more cap flex, but your statement of gay having way more potential is completely false

Pass for PHI, as well.
