potential of sixers actually pulling off a Iggy trade?

Does anybody know where Iggy would prefer to be traded?
It's quite refreshing that he is still the consumate professional and hasn't been whining about all the rumors since last year.

I don't think anyone bashes Iguodala's professionalism, and most appreciate his value on the court. I don't think a deal has to be made, but what centers can they bring back for him? It is essentially a center-less league, so can you get a center who is of high enough talent to not be considered an MLE signing? Kaman+Aminu for Speights+Iggy?? I honestly want to see Jrue/ET/Iguodala, but can appreciate mixing things up to bring in a more pure shooter at the SG spot and upgrading the center.

Sixerfan, what is the gameplay, long term, of the new ownership? Do they see a title run in 5 years? Also, what can we make of is quiet in re to Young?

This team needs to look at 2 things:

- getting in to good cap area
- collecting talent

With that, Iguodala should go for an expiring, a young piece and a 2012 1strounder. Multiple picks in the top 20 next year would be a plus.

Also, this team needs points. We have good young players, but we need a go to scorer.

Free agency- take a chance on short years, low money on some younger guys that need a chance. Yi, Clark, etc.

The # of teams with cap space must mean Iguodala is popular in trade. He would fit in wellin Sac-town, Clev.

Hibbert appears to be available in Indy with the Pacers chasing all of these big men.

We need to jump on this and them them involved in a 3 way deal.

We send out Iguodala and parts (Speights) and get back Hibbert and other pieces.

Iguodala + Speights + pick for Hibbert + George + filler (potentially from 3rd team) works for me!

Mahorn at the 4 · Post #108 » by **Mahorn at the 4** » Mon Dec 5, 2011 3:12 pm

Another possibility.

Trade Iggy in a move that frees up some cap space and brings back a young 2 and a pick. Amnesty Brand.

Then, sign DeAndre Jordan. Add other pieces.

Hopefully this FO can get creative.

"Patiently" waiting for the next Sixerfan update.

No way Indiana entertains that idea...

It doesnt sound like Houston wants to trade Martin.

I think Iguodala stays.

Could be a less news worthy week than we thought.

Thad resign priority 1, signing Kwame priority 2, getting rid of Nocioni and Speights priority 3.

I really hope we don't waste the amnesty clause on Nocioni.

I really hope we don't waste the amnesty clause on Nocioni.

In a recent interview, Rod Thorn said that they didn't expect to use the amnesty provision this season. That was a big relief when I heard it. Looks like they are playing to get into the 2012 FA market.

sixerfan1976 · Post #113 » by **sixerfan1976** » Mon Dec 5, 2011 9:36 pm

yeah i think they considered using it on nocioni but will try and buy him out instead or trade him for an expiring end of bench guy to get Nocioni somewhere he has a chance at playing.

SF, what is up with this Young to Denver talk? They have a fortune to spend.

Not SF, but that sure as hell caught my eye too. The last thing that a team like Philly can afford is to lose someone like Young without any compensation. Perhaps the beginnings of a sign and trade for Nene if he wants out of Denver as some have speculated. I doubt Young is enough on his own though. Anyway, probably pie in the sky, so hopefully Thad just comes back.

Definitely not fun to see that wiretap headline. If we do begin discussing a S&T Nene for Thad. I wonder what would take to get that type of deal done - GIVEN that Nene would be interested in coming here. Perhaps sprinkling in Lou and a 2nd rounder? I know JR Smith is stuck in China and they may be looking to retain that type of scoring threat. Meh, fun to speculate but it's probably no chance :-?

I think it's time for some SuperCoolBeas..

lol.

Minny is looking to move him.

sixerfan1976 · Post #118 » by **sixerfan1976** » Mon Dec 5, 2011 11:18 pm

1/2 of the nuggets team is stuck in china it seems.

Thad was encouraged to explore the free agent market so that is what he is doing. If he signs an offer sheet, we most likely match. This is all part of the process.

Well, I would rather another team 'set the market price' for him per say... was just hoping it wouldn't be a team like Denver that has a butt load of cap space

If they offer him too much i hope we don't match

Unlike Stefanski and KIng that overpaid players. Dalembert and Kenny Thomas by King Iggy for Stefanski. At least Thorn isn't an idiot.
