Memphis wants to trade Andre Iguodala

[blazerfan11]

Yes he's 35 years old. But I am assuming we're in "win now" mode.
Assist/TO ratio of 4.0 last season. That's nuts. Defense. High percentage shooting, though he doesn't shoot that much. He did shoot 33% on threes, but his great 2-point shooting (.652) gave him an eFG% of .579 last season. That's crazy.

In the playoffs, his shot attempts went up to 8 per game, but he shot just as efficiently. His 3 point shooting was 35 percent, with 62.8 on 2-pointers for for an eFG% of 57.8 percent.

I sure as heck don't want him playing for the Rockets or Mavericks. I'm sorry if I can't get that excited about our acquisitions up to now (except Whiteside).

We can't trade for him unless we use Bazemore late in august

We can trade Bazemore now. Cant combine until August.

Fine with me, season starts after that.

Could we do two trades? Or would the NBA not allow that? One Bazemore for Iggy, another for what Memphis wants.

We can combine Bazemore with others in a trade as long as it isn't used to aggregate salary.

 

[blazerfan11]

Whiteside, Collins, Iguodala , would that be the best defensive front line in the NBA?

Here are some Iggy defensive highlights from this past season (of course we all remember that one in the playoffs too)

 

[Portland2014]

So would you guys trade Bazemore for Iguodala?

So would you guys trade Bazemore for Iguodala?

You're looking for the answer no so you can go off on how we never take chances, huh?

 

[GDiama]

I suppose Memphis wants more than another large expiring to do that. Something like a future pick.

lol no, i'm just curious.

 

[blazerfan11]

Hell yes, but Memphis wants something besides Bazemore. Second round picks? I don't know.

Here's the Korver trade:
The Grizzlies are trading Kyle Korver and Jevon Carter to the Suns for DeAnthony Melton, Josh Jackson 2020 second-round pick and 2021 conditional second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.

Neil isn’t trading Baze to Memphis a week after acquiring him, no way. I’d love it though, I might even throw in our 1st with Baze if that got it done.

Whiteside/Nurk
Collins/Tolliver/Skal
Iggy/Hood/Nas
CJ/Mario/Trent
Dame/Simons

I know Mario isn’t a 2 but I think he will be handling the ball a lot in the 2nd unit. That squad would be awesome.

 

[bobf]

Iggy... one of my most fav players ever!!

 

[blazerfan11]

I hope you're kidding. Kent Bazemore? We can't trade Kent Bazemore for Andre Iguodala? That's f'cked up.

 

[LayneStaley]

I said I’d love it, I just don’t see Neil sending him out a week after trading for him.

 

[LayneStaley]

The best part about Memphis trading him is the Lakers getting fucked by the hour. I’m gonna shotgun a sixer when Kawhi stays in Toronto and Iggy goes to Dallas or wherever. The purple and piss will be left with 38 year old Korver and a bunch of shitty vets to fill out that roster. It’s gonna be glorious.

And I'm praying they don't even get the shitty vets. Give 'em a bunch of G League castoffs....

 

[blazerfan11]

If nobody makes a trade for him, and he gets bought out, he’s going to end up with the Lakers.
If you’re a top Western Conference team like the Blazers and you don’t have to give up much to prevent that from happening, I would think you would do it.
Unless the the plan is to pray the Lakers fall apart, which becomes less likely if they can add players like Iguodala.

 

[Natebishop3]

At this stage in his career, I'd rather have Baze or Hood getting minutes.

HOU or DAL will trade for him.

In a New York Minute

Iggy would be such a short term rental. Baze might be more long term if we decide to keep him.

First, that's not a realistic trade and doesn't help Memphis as they are likely looking for draft picks. Also, Bazemore can't be included in a multi player trade unless individually a straight player for player meets the CBA requirements. In this case, Bazemore and Iggy meet the requirements but Skal and Crowder don't

Idc, Iggy is a championship level acquisition. Baze is basically a buffer for Little.

One is way better than the other. That’s all that matters to me.
I don’t understand caring about how long a mediocre player is with the team.

So, make a couple realistic trades.

Go look at Iggy’s stats. How is he way better?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Probably not a better mentor for Nas than Iggy.
