Amick: Rockets pushing to trade for Iggy, hope to sign Chandler, no longer working to extend coach

CP3 threaten to have a knee scope and sit out for a year.. to sabotage the trade

 

Tilman is still cheap? I am shocked. Shocked I tell you!

I thought Morey was “advised to go well into the luxury tax now”?

 

I wonder if Iggy really would go to LA Clips or Lakers if bought out? No one else is going to trade anything of significance for him. He would get a lot of run here and would help our championship odds although the same could be said for both LA Teams and in a cooler town.

Still think he is a better fit on our squad though since we are built similar to the Warriors. It would be nice if Iggy tells us he would sign with Rockets if bought out but it doesn't sound like that has happened yet. Iggy at the vet min would be a godsend but this could drag out for awhile.

There is no way the Mavs will give up anything of significance to get Iggy as they are still not in "win-now" mode. Rockets are only team that value Iggy and would consider trading for him only if they are not the frontrunners in a buyout situation. Come on Iggy, choose Houston!

 

I feel like I read (weeks back) that if bought out he said he would go to the Lakers.

 

Is Iggy really worth it at 35 with an extensive injury history? GSW rode him hard and put him up wet lol

 

Depends...do you want to “win the title at all costs” as Tilman says?

The Rockets are absolutely in need of a wing defender, and Iguodala happens to be the best attainable player there is in that regard. As @justtxyank said...if the don’t want Iguodala in favor of other options, that’s fine. If they don’t want Iguodala because he costs too much, so they go with just minimum guys to fill out the roster, then that’s dumb.

Or...Tilman could just publicly say he doesn’t want to go into the tax as an owner. Him constantly lying about it is what people are annoyed with.

 

Is Iggy able to help get a team over the hump at this point? He might be more washed than Chris Paul

 

Idk if it’s fair to expect “elite” defense. He’s 35-36 with an extensive injury history. He has to be getting close to the cliff. And yes I agree, he’s not worth his contract and certainly not worth 37 a year (what his contract + the LT would be). If he was a buyout candidate the story is completely different.

 

Offensively I agree. Defensively he’s exactly what we need and still elite in that regard.

If they can get a similar option at a cheaper cost, I’m all for it. But just don’t cheap out on talent when you’re trying to compete. They already did that last year.

 

I think they’d be looking at cheaper options. I’m no salary cap expert but wouldn’t a SnT for Iggy hard cap is? If so, do we really think Iggy is the final piece of a championship puzzle?

 

July 12 "Pushing for Iguodala trade"
July 15: "Too expensive. Not worth it."

 

No, Grizzlies would.

 

It’s not just 20M, it’s 17M (salary) + 20M (tax) so basically 37M for one year of Iggy.

 

THIABO SEFALOSIA (Spelling). Same type of player, a little bigger, plays the 2-4, game is based off the 3nD concept, and he is the old teammate of both Beard and Brodie.

 

one year while only playing 18-20mpg.

i would love to have him if tilman weren't broke. but if we have to get someone who will outperform his contract, iggy will not.

i can get behind this line of thinking if they go and get someone else that's being paid less like crowder, kyle anderson, or bjelica.

however, my concern is that they will just duck the tax again and not provide the necessary depth to really contend.

 

sefolosha, and dante cunningham are two guys i'd look to sign for the minimum right now. i'd prefer to make one more big trade for the remaining F minutes but tilman is too broke!

 

He was awful in utah

 

[Fedor] The Cavs offered Smith to Golden State for Andre Iguodala, sources say, believing they made a better offer than the one the Warriors took from Memphis. The Cavs even offered lighter protections on a future first-round pick. But the Warriors sent Iguodala into the Grizzlies’ open cap space

 

Sooo Boris Diaw? Sounds good to me.
