Iggy is awesome. His simple stats are all average, but his advanced stats are all testament to his ability to change games in unique ways (deflections, hockey assists, defense, intangibles).
The problem is that Iggy is opting out of 1yr/16mill in order to get a longer and possibly bigger contract-- and his agent wants to get him locked down to an albatross before the NBA tightens its belt even more. He'd take up 60% of our cap space and we'd be left with Dirk/Marion/Iggy and not a lot else. He's a great distributor when he's slashing, but he cannot be our primary ball handler. He's not a prolific or efficient scorer and is much more a Marion than a Robin for Dirk.
I think Iggy is a case of a guy that can help, but shouldnt be our top priority just because we have other needs that are much more pressing.
