Andre Iguodala

I think the key, if you want Iggy, is to hope the Mavs can shake him loose without including Damp and Dalembert in the deal. Because the Mavs are absolutely not trading Damp before this offseason unless it's for a superstar (and that's not happening).

Honestly, I bet if you offered Josh and Roddy for Iggy right now the Sixers would jump at it. Depending on how hard up they are for cash, they might just jump at Josh for Iggy. It'd be a massive savings for them and a pretty big commitment for the Mavs.

And I'm still not convinced upgrading from Josh to Iggy gets you all that far. Given how Josh is playing right now it's a big upgrade but I have to think Josh is going to come around.

I hope you're right...but I've grown tired of waiting for this to happen. Time for Josh to go.

So i played with the trademachine keeping Damp in Dallas. And i dont think the Sixers are so high on Roddy since they have Williams and Holiday.

Iggy+Kapono: Sixers can dump Kaponos 6 mio next year. Mavs send 3 mio for some buyouts. Works also with less savings with Willie Green instead of Kapono. Dont think its enough to get Iggy.

Iggy+Dalembert: Without Carroll you have to add way too many players, dont see that coming. But if, it would been a nobrainer even when the Mavs dont want Dalembert. Send 3mio for the buyouts of 3 minimum guys.

Iggy+Brand: The only way to dump Carroll i guess. Brand has 51/3 left after this season, Carroll 11/3. So actually its 40 mio for 3 years Brand, a nice prize for me and a potential HUGE steal. But maybe the Mavs have a very strong feeling they can convince Bosh to come to here so the Raps do a S&T to ship him at least out of the EC. In that case our FO dont want Brand at all.

But i have to say i do all 3 trades. We keep the dustchip, so for me they are all no brainers.

Ooh, idk I think Roddy is off the table. You may be right tho.

Iggy has much better handles and can get to the hoop in a much more aggressive and powerful fashion than Jho. Obviously the finishing touch would be much more exciting as well. I think if you replace Josh with Iggy, it opens things up for him given our lineup and other capable shooters. I'm not so sure about his consistency with the outside shooting, but it would help us dramatically to have someone with those kind of skills at powering to the hoop and being able to pass as well.
