Are we looking at the wrong guy to trade?

[Wilfried]

If this season points out that this team isn't good enough, I want our FO to react in a normal way and try to work it out.

If we notice that Brand-Iguodala-Young don't blend together, we should try to trade 1 of them.
Brand is almost impossible because of his age, injuries, contract.

But what if we try to trade Iguodala instead, and try to obtain a shooter.
Iguodala is a player that will blend perfectly in a team with a topplayer, where he can be second option. I'm thinking about a team that is a good player away from contending (like New Orleans fi, or Portland, Utah).

Should we change strategie after a (disappointing?) season, realize Brand isn't possible to trade and pull the trigger on Iguodala?

[Kevin12]

Iguodala is already paid.

If anything, Young would be the easiest to move and the best chance in bringing back a quality piece to build around.

Moving Iguodala is sure to get a solid piece, but also alot of filler.

[Don]

Iguodala is already paid, but there is no one on the team , bar none, with Thad's quickness and ability to create his own shot in the post. Matter of fact I wish we would create some more iso plays just for him. Lou and Iggy both need to look for him. Thad and Speights need to be major contributors consistently if this team is to go in the right direction.

Just what shooting guard does anyone think is available that would be equal value to Iguodala in a trade?????

The answer is none. Nada.....

[jiggy08]

seriously, let's bring this up 10-15 games in. if the sixers are still lolly-gaggin then we can talk about this.

sure iguodala has a great all around game... But we vastly overrated him at times.
He's a 2nd tier wingman, I'd take Kevin Martin, Ben Gordon , Rudy gay ,Eric Gordon or mayo for him easily.

Sure they don't bring the all around game of iguodala, but they are actual sg, can shoot & create there own shots and have a scorers instinct...

I was at the game last night, and I think Alot of brands struggles are due to our wings inabilty to shoot . Teams can clog the lane, and rarely get punished for it.

I'm all for it tho... One of Thad/iguodala has to go IMO

Stopped reading there..smh at you

[freshie2]

Rudy Gay is a SF...c'mon. Each player listed is not a first tier SG, let alone on the same all around tier as Iguodala at this point. I am not opposed to trading Iguodala if it brings back a high end piece, but the players you listed are not necessarily upgrades.

[Kevin12]

The only player on that list that is even worth considering is Eric Gordon.

The rest are not only all-around downgrades, but considerable ones.

[Howardmgm3]

Thank you Freshie and Kevin...
That was my point exactly....
It is great idea to trade Iggy for a pure SG that is at a similar level as he is, but there just aren't too many out there.... and certainly none that are available.

[partnerfusion]

If you get to the point of being willing to trade Iggy - the Jazz would love him. We have New Yorks 1st round pick this next draft (likely top 5) and could send Boozer packing to a third team that could send you a couple of players plus give you that pick....

For example:

Chicago: Receive Boozer
Philly: Receive Hinrich / Jones / NY Knicks 1st rounder (from Ut)
Utah: Receive Iggy

Milwaukee: Receive Boozer
Philly: Receive Ridnour / Bogut / NY Knicks 1st rounder (from Ut)
Utah: Receive Iggy

[Dedicated_76ers_fan]

Can I take the Milwaukee package please? Bogut is a solid offensive center and the top-5 pick to go along with that is sexy for the rebuild.

Ridnour/Daly=17 million in expirings.

We can re-sign Thad+ go for someone big.

[partnerfusion]

I really think the Milwaukee/Utah/Philly deal is a win for all 3 teams. Iggy gives the Jazz a running mate for Williams and Boozers departure frees up the PF spot for Millsap. Milwaukee for whatever reason does not see Bogut in their rebuilding plans and would obtain their low post scorer in Boozer who if doesn't resign atleast provides them more cap relief for their rebuild. In the case of Philly, nobody doubts Iggy's talent but you have some young talent that play the same positions and this deal brings you a solid center, a lottery pick to further build around and expiring contracts to perhaps chase another FA.

[UptownPhilly]

I'd do that Milwaukee deal since the NY pick figures to be a high lottery pick and Bogut is still a solid Center. I can't see MIlwaukee trading for Boozer though. It makes absolutely no sense.

Boozer will bolt for free agency ASAP and head to Miami, NY, or Chicago. Milwaukee could get more value for Bogut than a hesitant Boozer.

[partnerfusion]

Agreed - so the question becomes freeing up that space in the payroll and whether that is of any interest to them at this point. They seem determined to build around Jennings not Bogut.
