We could actually acquire him and keep him from joining the Lakers in a trade....we need defense and he's one of the best....championship caliber guy....put him with Melo and you've got some vet experience....Any interest?
DECEPTIVE TITLE! I thought the Grizzlies had bought him out! I think Memphis is probably demanding a first rounder for him, and our first rounders are suddenly a fuck of a lot more valuable... But if he could be acquired like this, I would do it in a second, just to stabilize the locker room and have a player with ACTUAL guard skills bring the ball up the court:
Yes, he would be a great addition to the team. He's a way better version of Evan Turner. Just depends what it would cost and if he would be back next season.
If mods could change Free Agent to Trade it'll clear it up......everything I've read is that the Lakers are trying hard to get him and Memphis is sort of saying...fuck the Lakers...we want something they won't offer.
We have big men once they're healthy....Nurk will return , Skal, Whiteside, Moses, eventually Zach …..we need perimeter defense...teams are lighting us up from deep....Iguodala won MVP of the championship finals with the Warriors for one reason....defense...that's really rare...we can always make another trade of Whiteside for a big without effecting a Baze for Iggy trade
he may be too old to play defense at this point. If we don’t get a big man for the next few months we could miss the playoffs.
Iggy is built like LeBron....the dude is in shape...there are players like him, Lebron, Karl Malone, that keep in amazing condition and defy the aging thing...Karl Malone could run for 40 minutes a game his entire career....Lebron can do that....Iggy is one of those guys..built for the long road. He'd be a great pickup for us at this stage
that helps teams that can match up financially, like Portland and hurts teams that would have a tougher time, like the Lakers.
I think he could get us Iggy with some filler...Baze is younger...have to add sweetener to the trade on our end though
I honestly wouldnt do that... Im not sure Id trade Baze for iggy straight up. Maybe the Iggy of 2-4 years ago, he’s almost 36 but will be 36 this season. To me they need to be looking for 4’s/5’s. Anyone they can get that can give them reliable minutes and play defense + rebound if WS or Skal have an injury. Of course part of that is I dont think Nurk or Zach will be back at full speed this season.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketb...-trail-blazers-could-trade-for-andre-iguodala "It was reported earlier this week that the Dallas Mavericks were preparing to make an offer for the 35-year-old, although David Cobb of the Memphis Commercial Appeal believes the Portland Trail Blazers could also get in the mix." Just to remind anyone who forgot, last season Iguodala had an effective field goal percentage of 58 percent, and a 4 -1 assist to turnover ratio. Kent Bazemore had an eFG% of 47% last season, and is currently at 40.7% effective field goal percentage as a Trail Blazer. If we got shooters, he sure ain't one of them.
