[Philly Inquirer] Trade rumors swirling around 76ers' Iguodala(McGrady)

Dang, we were doing so well of consolidating all Sixers trade info into one thread.

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

 

wow i guess the sixers were trying to dump brand and dalembert on us instead of iggy?

 

Just was going to post the same thing. So looks like the Rockets have entertained that offer. One they are probably considering.

 

hurry up mods...merge!

 

something that hasnt been addressed. if we get iggy, then what do you do with battier/ariza/budinger? they all 3 need minutes. thats one of the reasons tmac wasnt welcomed

plus,we go with brooks at the 2 with lowry at 1. if we get iggy,that means either battier/ariza/budinger is being shopped.

 

What offer? All it says is that we want Iguodala. No specific offer is mentioned. Logic would say Iguodala+Dalembert, but no one really knows.

 

people seem to ignore how mcgrady could barely run down the court.

 

One obviously goes to the bench. Likely Battier. Ariza's minutes are also then reduced. And all 3 can/will still get minutes. If one does get "screwed", it will be Budinger as he is the rookie. Not saying that's right but prob. what Rick would do. Also, the starting lineup will not be Lowry, Brooks, etc.

Brooks/Lowry
Iguodala/Taylor
Ariza/Battier/Budinger
Scola/Landry/Cook
Hayes/Andersen/Yao

Fill in the other player(s) that comes with him if this trade were to happen.

 

Ehh you're right, my bad. Didn't mean offer but entertained a McGrady/Iguodala swap.

To much smoke not to have some fire involved...I'd say Iggy and someone else will be in a Rox uniform by the deadline the only question I'd have would be who else would be involved in the deal whether player or team.

 

Have you seen Battier play lately? I hate to say this be he has been terrible. Iguodala can play great defense and is a better offensive player than Battier so i think he is the odd man out and will lose a lot of minutes

I think they would shift Ariza to the SF and Iguodala to SG. The would have Buddinger back up Iguodala and Battier come in for Ariza.

 

If we get Iggy, Lowry is most likely going out with McGrady. Iggy brings what Lowry brings, just more size and more of it. His game is predicated on getting to the rim. Look at his shot distribution. Look at how many free throws he shoots per minutes played. We already know he is a defender. Iggy brings what Lowry brings, but better, with the size to fit in with the starters and effectively guard the 2/3 slot. Iggy is Kyle Lowry in a bigger body and with a better outside shot.

Ariza and Battier??? My guess is this is Battier's last season with us, or at least his last full season. I fully expect if we trade for Iggy that Battier will be moved during the offseason or by the trade deadline next season. At the very least I expect him to go to the bench. With Iggy and Brooks in the backcourt, Ariza can comfortably settle into the 3rd fiddle role from the perimeter, the role that is suited for him. He can cut and finish and he can spot up for the 3-ball and Adelman can ask him to quit trying to dribble create since that will be Iggy's job. Ariza is going to become much more efficient offensively with Iggy next to him instead of Shane.

McGrady, Lowry, Taylor, Cook, our first rounder, and some cash to Philly for Iggy, Speights, and Dalembert.

Sign Conroy and I'm ready to go to war with that for this season if no other better deal can be had.

 

Please, just make the damn trade already. The anticipation is killing me!

 

Not to mention Speights has All-Star written all over him...

 

Little bit misleading title OP, since you start out with: "More of the same..."

For the rest, I love it. Iguodala is a monster and if Morey gets it done with a guy like Thaddeus or Speights and maybe even Dalembert: WOOHOOO !!

The return of Calvin and the Rockets are back !!!

Dalembert our Center off the bench next year like Mutombo only more offense and equal blocks
Young / Speights could be a nice PF / SF replacement if we throw in a Scola / Battier depending on the position.
Iguodala finally a true SG !!

 

Im no expert but I could see DM trading Tmac to Philly for AI and then making another deal trading one of battier/ariza/budinger in some other deal. Possibly for Bosh. I think the Rockets can make a strong attack to get Bosh but to keep him long term would have to be a different story. I know AI and Bosh are good friends; maybe having AI and Yao would have Bosh sign long term?

Just an idea.... possible dream

YAO, AI, BOSH = 2010 Champs
