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

I appreciated it when you stopped posting about the NFL Draft when it became clear you didn't know what you were talking about. I'd kindly ask you to do the same here. Claiming Iguodala sucks is just beyond comprehension - and obviously coming from someone whose never watched the 76ers or (I'd guess) any other team besides the Rockets on a consistent basis. You have no idea what you're talking about. Again.

 

Martin is hurt all the time..."real" or "fake" injuries, it's all the same if he isn't on the court! Want to talk about undersized....take a look at your boy Martin!

 

I'd like D. Lee

 

Seriously?? ^^

I thought with the offense we played we didnt need anyone dropping 40 nightly.

Iggy is ONLY 25 or 26, and we dont need a 3 we need a 2. Iggy doesnt suck he tries to get his teammates involved. Kevin Martin ONLY shoots, and thats being nice. Iggy grabs boards, runs the break, can dribble, pass, and has athleticism..

Doesnt matter if its 'baby injuries' as you call it or serious injuries (such as back spasms.. or 'needing surgery on a whole side of ones body) If he misses games.. He misses games.

iggy would be a nice upgrade over mcgrady. It's just what else its gonna take to get him.

 

I wouldn't mind throwing in Dorsey, Taylor, or a 2nd round pick for Iggy+Dalembert, but if they include Young/Speights/Williams then we can talk about Lowry/Budinger/Scola. T-Mac for Iggy+Dalembert straight up plus some smaller moves at the deadline is perfectly fine with me.

 

you're post is really annoying with all the declarations you make, but fwiw iggy has only scored over 30 7 times in the past 221 games (2007-10 including playoffs). martin has had 30 point games 29 times in the past 124 games (2007-10) with 4 40 point games and 1 50 point game.

 

Yeah, Martin is a great shooter, but has had almost as much of an injury problem as T-Mac has had. Iguodala would be a better fit for the role the Rockets need from the 2 right now. If they had a Chris Paul or Deron Williams at the point, Martin may be a better fit. But with what the team has, (and Yao returning next year) a guy who can create plays at the end of the shot clock/game would be better than a pure shooter(even a great one).

 

i don't really have a problem with his declarations. I think part of the reason we haven't already pulled the iggy trigger is concern over his contract.

we really are sitting in the catbird seat right now, with no pressure to make a move at the deadline contrary to popular belief.

If we keep falling and miss the playoffs, we will have a lotto pick next year to either keep or trade. If we hold on to Tracy this year, we can then resign all our FA's next year.

This squad plus Yao, plus a lotto rookie, plus a mid-level FA is a nice cast. Plus it is very flexible with tradeable assets that could be moved next year.

There is no reason to take on a bad contract/good player if you think the alternatives are better.

 

I definitely agree here...dont make a trade just for the sake of making a trade.

My only thing is when Yao comes back, I have a feeling that we are gonna go back to a halfcourt game, instead of pushing the ball the way we have this year. And I wouldn't count on a lower lottery pick to step in and contribute right off. Maybe im wrong with this, just my opinion

 

DM could lose out on both players he's after."League executives list Phoenix forward Amar’e Stoudemire and Philadelphia 76ers swingman Andre Iguodala(notes) among the biggest names most likely to be moved before the trade deadline – and there’s even a chance they might be dealt for each other. If the cost-cutting Sixers did such a deal, they could try to use Stoudemire in a sign-and-trade during the offseason and not re-sign him."

Why would going back to halfcourt with Yao be a bad thing?

 

All of our athletism goes to waste on the offensive end of the court, because everyone will stand around and watch Yao....just as its been the past few years.

 

Same with you. We get it already. We realize you believe that adding Iggy's 60 million to Ariza's 30 million over the next 4 years = serious contenders. Problem is that no one outside of a handful of Houston fans even remotely believes this to be the case.

THIIIIIINK. 90 million tied up to those two players. Isn't Iggy a version of TA that we already paid for? At least what we were hoping to get already. You don't fix one bad move by adding another.


Your quick to want others to stop posting their opinions but have no problem continuing along with your own. Hmmmm

 

Moving Ariza back to the 3rd or 4th scoring option, where he's comfortable, would be a plus.

Having 2 guys (Brooks Iggy) that can create their own shot, or shots for others, would be nice. As would having 2 solid defenders with size (Iggy and Ariza)

 

You cant really play that way in the playoffs because you will waste to much energy.and not have any for defense.

 

Yes i do have the nerve to do that, got a problem?

I asked if he was foreign because anyone with English as their first language would have understood what i said...

His response to my post was a flame bait, so i took the bait because frankly i am sick of Clutchfans' aggressive members.

What is worse? The person who asks "Are you foreign?" or the guys who thinks asking someone if they are foreign is a "dig"...

 

Damn. Let's hope not.

 

I totally understand that, but it would be nice to have a good mix. Adelman has tried to get that mix from them in the past, but yet they still slow everything down for Yao. Hopefully things will be different going forward
