He thinks we're fighting so of course he has to post about it. The thing is we can disagree without it turning into a problem like he's hoping to see.
Memphis is holding out for a draft pick, likely a decent one. No way should Portland pay that price considering what their pick may be...it could be in the teens. Iggy isn't worth that.
You do realize that protections can be put on picks don't you? Problem with getting Iggy now is it wouldn't really improve us as it would just put is back to where we were before Hood went down and then he would be unrestricted and likely gone at the end of the season.
Id take Iggy if the idea is to try to salvage the year, if the idea is let this be development year; Hoard, Brown, Simons, Little and Trent Jr all need to get fairly consistent minutes IMO.
They cant this year, so... Their hand may be getting forced into a development year anyways. It doesnt mean they have to try to lose.
I was all for Iggy before Hood went down and would have been ok with offering Bazemore and draft pick(s), but with Hood going down that would leave us real thin at small forward and don't see it improving us over the lineup with Hood so we would be back in the same situation as we were before yesterdays game. Iggy is likely gone after this year as I can see him going back to GS. Hoard and Brown have limited time to play in the NBA unless they were converted to NBA contracts and then that adds to the tax burden. Tough decisions to be made.
