    Imagine if we could then send Battier over to Orlando for Gortat (1-for-1, benefits both teams). We'd have a really well-balanced squad with no areas needing improvement IMO.

    Iguodala is a good player. If there is a inkling of truth to this, he has been quantified by the rockets, meaning he is of more value to the rockets than ariza considering what we would be giving up.

    The trade makes sense for both teams.

    Jrue Holiday
    Evan Turner
    Trevor Ariza
    Elton Brand
    Spencer Hawes
    ---------------------
    Mareese Speights
    Jordan Hill
    Louis Williams
    Thaddeus Young


    THAT IS DEEP!

    Aaron Brooks
    Kevin Martin
    Andre Iguodala
    Luis Scola
    Yao Ming
    ---------------------
    Kyle Lowry
    Chase Budinger
    Patrick Patterson
    Shane Battier
    Chuck Hayes

    THAT IS DEEP!

    IF this trade proposal is true DM should accept it in a heartbeat. Fact is Iggy is the swingman equivalent of Bosh, a near-max guy making max money. Iggy is basically a souped-up version of Ariza-elite defender, freak athlete, really good finisher on the break. Unlike Ariza though, Iggy has decent ball-handling skills and can create a little bit for others. With Martin, Brooks and Iggy as our backcourt we can run even PHX out of the building. On the other hand Martin and Brooks can provide the spacing Yao needs in the halfcourt, while Iggy can lock up the other team's best player and do some drive and kicks.

    don't think morey can to get him here. if he does it'll be the steal of the summer. Iggy's got game but he has that swagger that this team could really use. if we can't get him I really really hope we get Gerald Wallace. pipedream i know :p

    Throw in a first round rockets draft pick + trade exception of Landry for Iggy, Speights and Smith ... only when Miller can't resist the Miami Heat call :rolleyes:
    Maybe sign Finley to vet min. (But, I think he'll be back with Celtics or maybe signs with the Heat)

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2553edo

    PG: Brooks/Lowry/Smith (?)
    SG: Martin/Bud/Finley
    SF: Iggy/Battier/Taylor (?)
    PF: Scola/Patterson/Johnson (?)
    C: Yao/Speights/Smith

    Maybe asking a Sixers second round pick in return, in the package for Iggy ...

    I like the souped-up version of Trevor Ariza comparisons, but I would compare him to a middle-class (probably lower-middle class) man's Lebron James.

    he'd put our fastbreak on hyper-drive if he landed here.
