Here's my prediction: Larry Brown loves athletic 3's. The Sixers ship Iggy off to Charlotte in a sign and trade for Emeka Okafor. Remember you heard it here first.

IN

is he still continually out of the lineup?

why in god's name would brown make that deal?

good christ, people.

it wont happen because of team needs....but its not like thats some crazy deal talent wise...iguodala is as good a three as oka is for....see what i did there

[SD_Eagle5]

why in god's name would brown make that deal?

good christ, people.

Because LB loves 3's and it's not a given Okafor is re-signed so why wouldn't they just try to get something for him? Okafor isn't a better player than Iggy, but he's a big man which automatically makes him more valuable.

[Rome]

ban?

[Don Ho]

why in god's name would brown make that deal?

good christ, people.

because he's bringing DC out of retirement to play pf for charlotte.

duh.

now that's a good one

[reese125]

So he's that valuable, but just not to Larry Brown? Cmon SD

Dude is a double double almost any given night, had a career best in stats, and extremely valuable on the defensive end--which Larry Brown covets even more. He is not going anywhere--you heard it hear first

the problem is they dont need a three at all

[SD_Eagle5]

That's never stopped Larry

[Rome]

That's never stopped Larry

now this i agree with.

[ice grillin you]

its all well and good but michael jordan runs the team...larry is nothing more than the coach

[Rome]

which makes it all the more possible because jordan is a worse architect than even brown, if that's possible.

[ice grillin you]

id give it chance of happening if okafor was an unrestricted free agent...but hes not

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'd do that deal in a flash.

I like Iggy a alot, but his showing in these playoffs made me reconsider my opinion on him. Unless he has a guy there who can take some pressure off of him, he will never be "the guy". His outside game is missing and he's better suited for a role versus being a star. And I would like to keep him, but hes the most valuable trading chip they have.

I would rather deal him for a 4 who can ball than pay him 70mil.

Trading Miller would be dumb.

so do you like him or has your opinion changed?


just because they were overmatched by a far superior team and he had an off series while being guarded by a guy in tayshaun prince who has locked down many a player youre done with him?

you know how many good to great players in this league have had poor playoff series...i dont see how you can do a .180 on someone because of the detroit series...if you didnt like him before det like sd then i understand

im not saying inguodala is untouchable but you better have a damn good replacement for him and plan b if youre gonna let him walk or trade him...he was an excellent first round pick and one of your building blocks you dont just let that go

[PhillyPhreak54]

I like him and was totally against trading him. However after seeing that he turned down 57M and after the performance in the playoffs I would consider dealing him IF

they can get a 4 out of the deal.

They could keep him and add a 4, but who could they sign? I think their only course of action to get a solid power forward is to include Iggy as trade bait.

I could be wrong, but with Thad and Lou and Miller; that group needs a 4.
