Iguodala and this writer tell it like it is.

Then the Sixers traded him to Denver for the concept of Andrew Bynum. Despite losing Arron Afflalo in the deal, the Nuggets went from a 47-win lockout pace to a franchise record 57 wins. The Sixers trudged to the lottery, trampling Doug Collins’ soul in the process.

Denver was 20th in defensive efficiency before Iguodala arrived and 11th when he left. Philadelphia was 3rd in defensive efficiency in Iguodala’s last season there. Last year, they sunk to 15th

You think you have another level you can go to individually?

Yeah, definitely. I don’t think I’ve gotten enough credit for what I bring to certain teams, especially last year with the record we had, breaking the franchise record for wins and how we kind of kept everything together and pulled off a great season.

How much credit do you deserve for the defensive leap that Denver took last season?

Iguodala: I would say I had a lot to do with it, because I had a lot of responsibility, especially in the pick-and-roll coverage on the weak side and having to guard two guys, the diver and the three-point shooter. Which is … it’s damned near impossible. I see a lot of teams lose games off that.

i'm trying to decide if you're one of the biggest trolls we've had here on the RealGM Nuggets forum or if you're just a jerk. Maybe both?

But in all seriousness, what is the point of discussing Andre Iguodala here? He's no longer a part of this team. That chapter is over. What exactly are you hoping to achieve by posting this article? What discussion are you initiating? I understand you're a fan of Iguodala but wouldn't this be better served posting in the Golden State forum? You know, because that's who he's playing for now.

Return to Denver Nuggets
