Iggy for Tmac? Where do we sign? I can't imagine the 76ers even considering this*, and this guy works for their paper! *Unless Brand and company are coming back with him and we're losing Landry
McGrady certainly wouldn't be the only one going to Philly. They're going to want Landry and/or possibly Budinger and maybe hometown player Kyle Lowry.
Lol wow we are getting too excited. No way sixers will give up Iggy even though his contract isnt that good
I'm not the biggest Andre Iguodala fan but he would be a perfect fit here. He plays defense, he can pass, he can rebound, and he seems to be the type of player who would flourish yet add to a system that takes pressure off of the individual star. I would guess the rockets would need to take back a very bad contract (probably Brand) to pull something like that off, which makes the deal very unlikely considering Morey's conservative approach.
I like Iggy, but I think he is a bit overrated esp for that huge contract. I'm not 100% I'm on board with him. I'm very much on the fence about this trade. He got that huge fat contract cuz sixers were desperate and I don't think Rockets need to take on that contract for a role player.
What don't you like about Iggy? Look up stud in the dictionary and you'll find Iggy's mug. I'd be very willing to take on a bad contract like Brand or Dalembert if it meant acquiring Iggy. Iguodala is everything Rockets fans, Clutch BBS members, RA, DM, and Trevor Ariza wished Trevor Ariza was.
This may only be an opinion piece, but I have to admit I like it. Seems highly unlikely to happen, but it's fun to imagine.
LOL at the thought of AI, T-Mac and Brand all on the same team. I guess Philly would be the new destination for former superstars to die.
I would take ANY of their contracts back if it got us Iggy... We are an Andre Iguodala away from being champions... Aaron Brooks Andre Iguodala Trevor Ariza Luis Scola Yao Ming ----------------------

Iggy doesn't have the handles to play PG full time but imagine the D with a lineup of Iggy, Ariza, Battier...
