Why would Philly do this?

[evildallas]

I actually think this would make us worse as a team. We'd lose Young at the end of the season to free agency leaving us with a 35M bill for an aging PF who can't play above the rim any more, a SF/SG that while promising on D doesn't play well in a half court situation limiting his post-season value, and a shoot first PG. Those parts don't fit together now let alone with the rest of our lineup. The only trade one should consider with Philly is for a single piece not a bunch of players because of the fit issue.

If they send Williams, they will want Teague and not Bibby, adn it's also better for us because wer are better with a Bibby/Williams combo, than Teague/Williams.

If they send Brand, they want a big in return, so we have to include Zaza.

Not sure they want to include Young, he seems to be one of the few players they can build on.

Maybe something build on Joe+Marvin+Zaza+Teague for Iguodala+Brand+Williams is more fair, but I don't know if I would do it.
Brand and Iguodala looks like the best players of PHI, but not making any impact.
