People are devaluing him so much it's crazy. I know he's not a superstar, but he's a rare breed of player that brings almost everything to the table.
Agreed. I think that what's happening is fans are so anxious to change this roster and add new talent that they want to move Iguodala just to get some new pieces in here. I sometimes get caught up in that but in the big picture of things, I believe Iguodala will have more value as we get closer to his prime and his contract becomes even more attractive in terms of years left.
Right now, we have a lot of pieces to a puzzle but only one or two corner pieces. I think Iguodala can get us another corner piece down the road and so I'd rather wait than just move him now so that we can obtain some more new pieces that might not be a long-term fit.
**Also, in reference to the CBA... we really don't know what is going to happen. A couple of months ago, it looked like the cap for this year was going to drop by about eight million and that salaries were eventually going to new to come down hence making Iguodala's deal look really bad. Now, the cap didn't even drop as it held at $58MIL and a lot of contracts were handed out that make Iguodala look like a bargain. If the new CBA calls for a drop to salaries then I'm sure Iguodala will still have decent value because an overwhelming majority of players are still going to be carrying contracts over from the deal that's currently in place. Point being, I don't anticipate Iguodala's market value to dry up unless he has a bad year.
