Official Andre Iguodala Trade Discussion and Rumors Thread

[tk76]

apparently howard wants paul in orlando and paul wants to come so would you guys do this? http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachi%20...%20Id=3v4cptz

Your link is broken.

And Orlando's roster is broken. I can't see how anyone would want to trade quality for the over-payed garbage on their roster. Certainly not enough value their to land CP3.

If CP3 and Dwight want to be Super-Friends, my guess it that it will have to be somewhere other than Orlando. Look what Miami did to clear out their cap before adding on Lebron and Bosh. And look what Orlando has done... the exact opposite by loading up with huge contracts for non-star players. Almost reminds me of the SIxers

[Sizzlehot]

The elite teams sure get too damn greedy. Hopefully we can be like them someday and offer our garbage for talent. Ahhhh just remembering the Iverson days. Wish it will be like this soon.

Is there any way Iggy would be traded to Orlando (without Dwight Howard coming to Philly)?

Not trying to troll. Just want to get the perspective from this side of the coin. Many Magic fans think there is a possibility, but I think that the possibilities are slim to none.

If you could put together a trade involving any combination of players that would work, I'd love to hear it. I'd also love to hear if you think there's no chance.

Thanks.

I really don't see any way it can happen. You have no young talent and a slew of HORRIBLE contracts. If I were a magic fan I would be bracing for a Howard trade because your gm has backed you into a corner with no way out.

The Magic don't have the pieces to make a deal involving Iguodala happen.

And frankly, with the exception of few teams, the majority has nothing to offer for Iguodala unless they also part with their best players.

Nope. Orlando's prospects have extremely limited upsides and ORL draft picks have little value because of how good the team is. The rest of your roster would draw very little interest because of terrible contracts, their position being filled on our team or simply a lack of talent in comparison to Andre.

[KrazySixersD]

why do so many magic fans think they can get iggy? im not trying to be mean but your team is a bunch of 3 point shooters and dwight... your best option to be relevant is trade howard, who you are 18-3 with when he only shoots 10 shots or less... and get some talent in there and start over... should have kept gortat and then traded howard and you would be a playoff team right away after the trade

[KrazySixersD]

howard is the best defensive center in the league easily, but hes a blackhole on offense and his offensive statistics are nothing but paper tiger stats... they actually hurt ur team as a whole when he posts those numbers because they come at the expense of ther rest of your team, and they come with 8 turnovers..

shoulda kept gortat, traded howard for one of the young great shotblocking bigs in the league, as well as picks and young talent, and you guys would be OKC in a year or 2

The Sixers want nothing from Orlando. Next.

Personally, I'm intrigued by a straight up trade for Rudy Gay. The Grizzlies are doing great without him and I've always liked his skill set. Nice shooter, good size, crazy athleticism, hits his free throws and not ball dominant. Not sure about his D, but I think it'd be the most talent we can get for Iggy. Still doesn't solve our Center issues. But a starting back-court of Jrue, Turner and Gay sounds is gonna be tough. Bring Lou, Meeks and Thad off the bench....I mean, that's an intriguing team right there. Huge hole at center, but still....

[Skin]

Thanks for the input! Figure I was more right on this idea than many other Magic fans. Not gonna be a dreamer and think he can join Dwight in Orlando. So thanks.

As for KrazySixersD... Dwight is not the problem in Orlando. Funny though.

[KrazySixersD]

i like gay too... but i think granger fits better... he would be a pretty solid go to scorer... and spreads the floor with his 3 point shot which allows turner to start at the 2

ya well i completely disagree... im in the minority but i dont care... you guys lost everytime he put up huge numbers vs atlanta.. his numbers are irrelevant to me on offense because it comes with a price.

he is the most immature player in the entire NBA.. leading the league in techs again.. he is a dirty player on top of it who tries to act like a clean goody goody when hes the exact opposite.

he is not a leader, at all... he is a blackhole when the ball goes down to him. his points come at the expense of his teamates, and come with massive turnover numbers

the only non overated thing about him is his defense, but you can get a young shotblocker and tons of other stuff in return for him and be better off. had you kept gortat and done it you guys would be set like i said....

now, he'll be gone one way or another.. and everyone will blame all the players that were brought in to play with him, multiple past all stars... yet it will ultimately be dwights fault

[KrazySixersD]

ooo and 18-3 when he puts up 10 or less shots... case closed... as well as another factor being his missed ft's being another negative to the above post

I am not trying poo poo on your trade but Bird is high on Granger and I doubt he trades for Iggy if that means Granger. Whats more important to you guys capspace or talent in return or a combination. I think the Pacers would only offer at most Paul George or Hans plus this years 15th pick. With that you could sign whatever Center you can find and have a possible up and coming star in PG.

[WassaWassa]

I was really surprised to read the Rudy Gay rumor. I wonder how much of the rumor is legit or if its just something that Kate threw out. It would be ideal if we could get a big for Iggy but its not as likely. Getting a talent like Gay would be incredible for our franchise IMO. I could see him turning into a legit no1 scorer that we have lacked since AI3 left. I would do Iggy for Gay in a HEART BEAT.

I have to question whethere Memphis would do it. They already have a very good wing defender in Battier who could resign at a much cheaper price than Iggy. Tony Allen and iggy would be a GREAT defensive duo but I don't know if I see Memphis doing it.

[KrazySixersD]

ya i dont know if granger would be available, im only hoping so... i dont think hes unattainable tho... if we had to throw something in... like our 16th pick i mite even consider that

[Pacerlive]

If this draft was stronger then that might be tempting but Bird is high on Granger and he is about the only consistent offense the Pacers have. Again I think the best the Pacers would offer is combination of Paul George or Hans with the 15th pick for Iggy. You about 10-13 million in capspace to sign some center to start.

I would be shocked if any of these other trades mentioned go down. I just can't see Iggy for Gasol or Bynum or Dwight.

[KrazySixersD]

memphis i think would do it because they are winning without him right now, and their coach values defense.. which iguodala is better at than gay

[KrazySixersD]

o i agree we arent getting dwight(who i DONT want) gasol or bynum.. granger/gay/kaman are all attainable... if granger is not, i would not want the above deal... i see george as trevor ariza clone, and i dont want that for iguodala... we have brand for the next few years and dont need hansborough.. the cap space would be intriguing to go after a center though but theres no guarantee of landing one either

[drsd]

Magic fan here:
Whereas I do not agree that the Magic lack tradeable assets, I do agree that the Sixers could get a much better deal for Andre Iguodala than whatever Orlando would offer.

But the Magic might be genuinely looking for a new starting PF. And the Sixers look to dump payroll and rebuild around youth. This is where Brand for Bass and Anderson comes in as a concept. Philly gets two looks at young talent; and gets to unload a blotted contract.

And for a new topic; how many tickets would Nelson sell in Philly? I ask because Orlando fans assume that Nelson would be part of any Iggy deal. So, financially, what is Jameer ticket-gate sales worth to the Sixers?

Taking all the above together, money will impact how the Sixers ship Andre Iguodala. This decision will not be soley about matched assets.
