Interested in Iguodala? 

Post#1 » by teamjosh04 » Wed May 19, 2010 6:04 am

MIN got a tough draw, Turner would have been perfect for them. I think a Iggy for Big Al swap could be in order.

Philly wanted to move Iggy, and now with Turner, he is more expendable (plus they arent a perfect fit together). Minny needs a wing really bad (and Wes Johnson isnt going to cut it - he repeats Brewer too much on offense). Then, Minny opens up a spot inside to draft Cousins.

PG - Flynn/Sessions
SG - Iggy/Ellington
SF - Brewer
PF - Love
C - Cousins/Hollins

That is a nice starting 5 with plenty of cap space. They can also get a quality big with the 16th pick (also have 23rd pick).

Philly ends up with

PG - Holliday/Williams
SG - Turner/Green
SF - T. Young/Kapono
PF - Jefferson/Brand
C - Speights/Dalembert

I guess I haven't followed the 6'ers too closely, but wouldn't that give them 2 undersized black holes down low? Depending on Speights's range, he could conflict with Al even more than Love does/did.

Maybe we should just blow our rebuilding process up like the C's did. Unfortunately, no KG and Ray Ray seem to be available :-?

And we don't have the sparkling history or the big market.

Personally, I'd love it if the wolves made that trade. But i'm still in a state of lottery depression, and it seems like trading Al or Love is the only way we're going to end our SF woes. What do Philly fans think of this trade?

Wait for Harrison Barnes next year.

Ah no, sorry we'll be screwed next year as well :lol:

I'd trade Big Al for Iggy in a heartbeat.

Guys, alot of us is questioning Al J's health. How about we trade Iggy for Gomez and the 4th overall pick instead?
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Sure, but I don't know how Sacremento would feel about us trading their pick. :D If you meant our pick, then no.

No way, that would eat two assets to your one. Draft pick and all our cap space. No thanks.

That is horrible value (and unworkable until july1).

You aren't getting near the value of the 4th pick for Iguodala with his contract, let alone cap space too.

I think the value of a straight up Al/Iggy deal is right, but the fit is probably not there for Philly.

I'd rather not make any awful trades.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Haha. Fixed.


Including our own pick. Hilarious. It's like asking you to swap picks straight up. :lol:
