UPDATE from SI about Sixers chances of trade http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/chris_mannix/02/17/trade.rumors/index.html
No its not, I rate Iggy high enough that I don't think Philly would consider that deal. I'd love to do that trade if they were desperate enough to move him, but IMO they are not at all that desperate. You chose to focus on one part of the comments I made and made an assumption when the other part clear said I DO NOT THINK THEY CONSIDER THAR DEAL - is it really hard to comprehend what I meant? or are you just arguing for the sake of aguing?
It is only hard to comrehend if you are unclear. So, to clarify, if Philly would accept it, you would trade Joel and Webster for Iguodala. However, if Philly insisted on Rudy as well, would you trade Joel/Webster/Rudy for Iguodala? If not, then I believe that you severely underrate Iguodala. If so, then I retract my statement.
I sure hope POR could pull a deal for Iguodala...I think any 2 of Batum, Rudy or Bayless should be on the table, plus draft picks and cold hard cash (if need be) and whatever else is needed to make salaries match (Joel).... With all of Roy's injuries to to date, I think it is imperative that Pritchard look to acquire another All-star or near All-Star caliber player that can pick up the slack and allow Aldridge to play that supporting star role, b\c I don't think he can carry the team by himself and he has proven to date that he cannot.... and here Iguodala is, allegedly available....and POR has young players they could send back in a deal...Iguodala is only 26, fits right in with the young core, would make the team significantly better now and going forward.... If he is there for the taking, POR needs to act IMO....You don't get too many chances like this...to acquire a young all-Star caliber player in his prime, and I think the team would be wise to capitalize on this opportunity if they can..... and for all the potential of Rudy and Batum....I'll take the PROVEN commodity in Iguodala over both of them any day....
Don't forget, we could turn round and trade Camby, provided it was in a single trade (i.e., he can't be bundled with other players). So in theory, we could have two parallel trades: Camby for Dalembert and then other players for Iguodala, with a wink-wink agreement that the only reason we're doing the first is because of the second.
