I disagree, it looks like the timid thing to do imo. I understand that Dampier brings some toughness that dalembert does not but I also do not think I would give Iggy up without someone taking another contract on. Josh+junk for Iggy would be asinine for Philly.

But it allows the mavs to not do anything because no one in their right mind would take a josh+junk for iggy, so in essence, they do nothing and hope at the end of the year for lightning to strike. good luck with that.

Iggy has a very long, very expensive contract. And he's not significantly better than Josh. He's better, and he's certainly better than Josh's current level of performance, but let's not act like going from the Josh of last year to Iggy is a huge upgrade. It's marginal at best.

I'm not spending the DUST chip to upgrade from Josh to Iggy. That's just not good use of an asset. And it's the very last move you'll make for this core. It's just not a good enough move.
