Iggy refused to go to the Heat originally, so they came back with an extension. Winslow involved I think.
I don’t know. I like Jimmy Buckets. Like his attitude (generally), like his Tomball roots, like his effort on the court. i know he can have amazing games offensively and is always consistently solid defensively. but I still struggle to see how a team with him as their best player can win a ring.
Damn iggy livin the life. Sit out a year. Then get traded to a good team and in Miami. On top of that get a $30 mil deal. Lol wow the “washed” guys according to cf’s still are showing the world they’re still somewhat relevant
Absolutely embarrassing trade by Miami. Memphis got a first round pick to take Iguodala, now are getting Winslow to send him away. Amazing job by them.
Is What still around? Looks like his time has finally come, a decade or so after he made that "Rudy Gay is on Durant's level" thread. NOW he can gloat how good the Memphis FO is.
Everyone should pause for a second and think about what kind of return the Grizzlies have got for taking on and flipping out Iggy’s contract. An absolute feat by that front office.
Not a fan of this trade but in general Riley did a great job, leapfrogged Philly on the contention order without any tanking needed. Stole Butler from right under Cp3 and Harden's noses, then drafted Herro and Nunn. Also has a kickass coach in Spo. Now they just need a great frontcourt and they all set. Knowing Riley though wouldnt be surprised if he is targetting Giannis by selling him and Jimmy B as the new school Lebron and Wade. Yikes.
Memphis is the real winner. Got 2024 first round pick, $2 million cash from Warriors, and Justice Winslow -- all for taking a half season worth of Iggy salary dump. Grizzlies rebuilt quickly from Grit and Grind to the new law firm of Ja, Jackson, and Justice.
Wow. GRIZZ gets a 1st round pick and WINSLOW??? WTF How they get this deal?????? This is crazy. WHAT MUST BE GOING CRAZY Get this guys, 1st round pick and Winslow, just for taking on Iggy's salary. What a great job by Grizz GM
I remember a certain forum full of babies were making fun of Jimmy for going to Miami. "Enjoy losing Jimmy". You guys stop jinxing him towards a championship now, please.
Well to be fair it is easy to keep generating assets when you are tanking and dont want to ise your capspace. IIRC Cavs got a top 4 pick by absorbing Baron Davis's expiring deal which they used to get Tristan Thompson. I think what Miami did is more impressive tbh as they managed to rebuild on the fly.
