Portland in Iguodala Sweepstakes

[Minstrel]

I'm looking at this from Philadelphia's point of view - which is exactly why they'd want to get rid of Brand. If I was their GM, I wouldn't entertain offers for Iguodala, unless Brand was also part of the package. Iguodala is too good to just give up to dump his salary. You only give him away of you can also dump at lot of additional salary - and that's where Brand comes in.

I don't think they'll give him away. I think they'll want one or two interesting young players and someone to take Dalmebert (overpriced but still somewhat useful, so not dead weight for the acquiring team).

They probably consider Brand's deal unmovable. I doubt even Paul Allen would authorize taking on that albatross.

getting iggy is what we need. a legit 2nd scorer who can create his own shot.

a lineup of miller, roy, iggy, la, oden is pretty scary.

sure we would have to move a few fan faves like rudy, webster, batum or bayless but im on board. sooner or later kp has to decide who is part of this core that we all expect to contend.
cant just keep saying it every year... time to act on it. iggy would be what we need. too bad we couldnt find a way to include dalemburt

Big question is if Brandon would want it. I think he really wants to be the main man and have no one in his way.

 

[STOMP]

Honestly, I could get behind #4. The others? Not so much.

if you like #4, whats your issue with choice #2? Personally I'd rather have Jerryd then not.

I like the thought of a starting unit that consisted of Iggy/Roy/Batum.

me too! Portland would have a hell of a defensive squad. Defense creates turnovers and man could that lineup get out on the break.

btw... I saw no article linked. Did Bucher mention any players or is he just stirring the pot?

If we pony up that package I'd rather target Bosh.

Would love to get him. Unlike most, I would be willing to give up one Rudy, Bayless, or Batum to get him. I will take a proven scorer over potential, I think.

Nico outplayed Iggy tonight.

It's pretty tough to see how to include Brand in this deal without wiping out our roster. We just don't have enough contracts to do it on guys we'd really want to trade.

If I'm Philly, I'd only trade my hot young stud if I were going to get hot studs in exchange. This works:

We give up Fernandez and Bayless. Really, if we have Miller, Iguadala, Roy, Batum and Webster, with projects in Cunningham and Mills, do we really need those two?

If Iguodala can play guard, on a semi-permanent basis, next to Roy, then we don't need them. I'm not certain he can, but I wouldn't rule it out either.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'd rather have Jrue Holiday, if we're in the business of going after Philly players.

 

[jlprk]

Ig. Ugh. Just what we need, another wing.

 

[Natebishop3]

It really all depends on whether we're trading for the now or for the future. If we're trading for the future, I really don't think Iggy is something we need. I like our sf position with Webs and Batum. If we're trading for the now, we need a big man in the worst way. I like the idea of Bosh, but the fear of him leaving is strong.

Personally, I would be looking to move Rudy, Joel, Outlaw, and Blake. I would be looking to keep Batum, Roy, Oden, and Bayless. Aldridge is up in the air to me. If he needed to be included to get a deal done for a star player, I would probably do it.

 

[BenDavis503]

Dont want him. Rather have Nic.

I have a hunch that McMillan would probably bring Iggy off the bench though.

Don't be stupid. Nate wouldn't allow the trade to go through if Blake was included anyway
