If Philadelphia wants something else, and they are gaining financial flexibility with this, which should help, then they shouldn't ask for much besides a second rounder or something similar).

Yes to all of this. Iggy gets to the rack better, plays better defense than Caron and is a better passer- but with that contract there's no way Philly should expect much more in return. Roddy and Chandler are keepers unless we're getting back a Paul/Okafor or Melo/Birdman. which as we all know is extremely unlikely.
best offer should be something like Iggy/Nocioni for Caron/DeShawn/2nd/cash
