Totally agree with the Iggy = Wallace comp. Iggy is/was better, but not by much...and he's just entering the "Blazers/Nets" phase of Wallace's career. I'd prefer to have cap space than Iggy at this point.

Me too. No more codgers. I'd rather trade LaMarcus (and I value him about 1000 times more than blue does) for 2014 assets and start over around Lillard.

Good plan lets just keep starting over. 2 more years from now we can trade Lillard for a first pick.:crazy:

The difference is that Iggy would not have to be the first, second or third option on the Blazers. Stop looking at his age so much and look at what he can do that would help this team. How many really good SG that are better then Iggy are in the league again?

What he can do that would help this team? Um, not much. His defense isn't THAT great anymore. Given that, I'll take Wes who's defense is about on par with Iggy's, but he's also a better shooter and a great locker room/leader. Wes works in the starting unit with Lillard much better than Iggy would.
There aren't (m)any good SGs in the league, period - that doesn't mean we should overpay for a mediocre one when we already have his equal and are paying him less.

You mean two more years from now when we are a marginal playoff team and LaMarcus wants to go home to mamma in Texas, or join a real contender?

Some would argue we should extend LaMarcus when we can, or try to get value before the rest of the league has us over a barrel. When can we extend him BTW?

Ya Aldridge will go to Texas because the Blazers will just keep building out of the draft and starting fresh.

Next year draft trade Lillard for 1 to draft Andrew Wiggins? Thoughts?:lol:
 
Re: Andre Iguodala plans to opt out of contract to enter free agency..Make a move Osh

I like Iggy... but it all depends on how much he wants. He could say "max contract" and the most we can offer is.... what..... 11 million? I don't think Wallace is a good comparison because Iggy isn't JUST an athletic player. He can shoot. Wallace didn't get the name "Crash" because of his fundamentals. He would throw his body around like a demolition derby. Give Iggy more credit than that.

I think that whoever has the #1 pick next year wouldn't even consider that deal for a second.

I also think that if Wiggins looks as good during his freshman year as the hype suggests he should, then yes, the Blazers would be well served to make a deal like that, if it were possible (which it wouldn't be).

Wallace shot so much because McMillan couldn't adjust his system for 2 PFs. Aldridge or the guards could have shot those while Wallace stayed inside.

McMillan's nickname should be Mr. Adjustments.

Better shooter than Wallace. I cringed literally every time Wallace took a three pointer.

Totally agree. But being a better shooter than Wallace doesn't make Iggy a good shooter - he's just better than a very poor shooter.

Who cares, We have Lillard and Batum for the outside shooting. Lillard, Iggy, Batum, Aldridge, Leonard? I would like the Blazers to make a push for Gortat involving the 10th pick. Thats a good lineup.
 
Re: Andre Iguodala plans to opt out of contract to enter free agency..Make a move Osh

That's a terrible line-up. Well, not terrible - just mediocre. And IMO mediocre is worse than terrible.

Coaching and chemistry make a great lineup. Not statistics.
 
Re: Andre Iguodala plans to opt out of contract to enter free agency..Make a move Osh

There's a whole lot more to a great line-up than coaching and chemistry. Besides, we don't have great coaching nor have I witnessed a great deal of chemistry with our team over the past few years.

Oh I disagree, I think our core of Lillard, Aldridge, Batum even Mathews all have great chemistry. To many people just want top notch all stars.
 
Re: Andre Iguodala plans to opt out of contract to enter free agency..Make a move Osh

Well, I generally disagree with everything you have to say, so we'll just leave it there.

Mayo is probably the Blazers first choice but Iggy has got to be right behind him. I think Iggy might come cheaper.

LOL, No way Iggy comes cheaper. I would rather have him though. Better all-around player. For the price we pay though I would take Tony Allen over both.

Nope. Iggy has a higher pedigree. He will be more expensive.
