Question about your teams future

[Immure]

I just wanted to know what are your plans with your future? How much are you guys willing to offer Iggy? Is dalemert expandable for expirings? What is Iggy expandable for?

I looked at one of your mod threads that said you had roughly 35 mil this summber w/o adding Iggy. If trading dalembert meant having more money this summber to add Iggy plus another 8-12 mil guy would you guys do it?

Iggy will won't get 12 million, he will at least get 9 or 10 million a year tops. We can sign Iggy and get a near max free agent this year without getting rid of dalembert.... and dalembert and iggy are not worth expirings if we trade iggy we need a star in return and with dalembert we need a promsing center in return and both are very far fetched from happening so they aren't going anywhere.

We already can sign a 10-12M FA and then sign Iguodala to whatever the team wants (hopefully not more thean 9.5M next year.) Clearing Sam (or Miller) would bring another 10M.

The new GM claims to love Sam- maybe his favorite player on the team. Given Sam is less than 8 months older than Okafor, and is averaging a double/double, athletic and a good defender- I can not in any way see him being moved for expirings.

He could be moved as part of a bigger deal (like Iguodala + Sam for Amare) but no way are the Sixers looking to cut ties with Sam. He was seen as a major underacheiver a few years ago, but has really turned the corner over the last 18 monts (sort of like how Kama has turned the corner, but not as good.)

I'd feel more inclined to respond kindly to your post if it were legible and coherent... But considering we already have an over-abundance of threads, I'd advise outsiders to at least write with some clarity when starting new topics on this board. thank you.

as for iggy and dalembert - you're not getting either one. go look elsewhere for a center.

FYI- iggy is "expandable" insofar that he can expand his game to include a better jumpshot. dalembert is "expandable" in that he can develop better low-post moves, ie. drop-steps, up+unders, etc.

But neither player is expendable for what the heat can offer. Thank you for your interest.

THFM is right (and beat me to the post.)

How much Iguodala signs for does not effect how much money we have for FA. Iguodala has a cap hold (nearly 9M) that effects our ability to sign a FA- and with that we will have 10-12 mil based on what this summers cap number is.

We can sign Iguodala to whatever we want, and use our Bird rights to go over the cap after we use available $s to sign a FA. I hope we do not over pay him.

Absolutely not.
Sam is the leading rebounder and shotblocker on the team right now, averaging almost a double double.

"It starts with Sam on defense,'' Miller said. "Sam's defense has been great and we've been able to get the ball and run.''

Considering how hard it would be to replace him, Dalembert will take a significant offer to get the Sixers to trade him.

K thanks guys, just a thought I had. I wasn't asking sammy + iggy for expirings I just asked expirings for either one. Or a star for both.

[tk76]

A star for both- Amare- has been thrown around by a few reporters. It would have to be a young inside force.

Iguodala is the best young player on the team, but Sam is the hardest to replace.
