Just talking to a couple of co-workers let me know about your thoughts on this trade

Philly – trade IGGY  to Minny

Minny – sends Philly 2nd pick, michael Beasly, and some other player

This would solve the the SF for Minny and give them a veteran leader

The would help philly because they will get rid of a player that has wore out his welcome and on the Minny team with Kevin Love could be a better player

 

Then Philly turns around and does this trade

Philly – sends the 2nd pick

Cavs – send the 4th pick and first round pick in 2012

Now the Cavs can pickup Dwilliams and KIriving like they want so they have a solid base for the future.  Philly then can pickup a PF or C at 4 and still have the option to get somebody at 16.  This also helps Philly if for some odd reason Thadus Young doesn’t resign we can draft a replacement.

what makes you think that iggy is better than beasley and derrick williams together?

I wouldnt say that he is better then both of them.  I would say he does alot of things good so on a team that will have a PG who likes to run he is perfect because he is a better transition player then both DWill and MBeasley.  Also Minny is looking for an establish Vet not another 20 year old. 

You dont like the trade?

The Cavs aren’t trading their #1 next year for the #2.  If they would, Minn would have done that already.  And there’s no reason to trade that much cheap salary for a wing defender who  needs the ball in his hands.

Why would Minny do it this year getting the 4th pick and next year number 1 its not going to give them a wing player who can do what IGGY does, it would give them another 20 year old.  Im not an IGGY fan at all but at the same time in Minny he would make some of the players better.  He is a good defender, rebounder, and passer.  Can you say that right now about anybody on Minny now?

At the end of the day both Minny and Cavs make out on this deal.

Because you’d rather have a 20-year-old at the top of next year’s draft who can be a franchise player on the cheap than Iggy.

You doing too much…Iggy isn’t worth all that.

Thats why Minny is always at the top of lottery.  Keep with that thought process and you will end up like the Clippers. Who is the fran player next year?

That or despite being in the lottery a ton they’ve only got 1 franchise talent ever.  They aren’t going to attract free agents and, a reminder, the Sixers have had their most success since the early 80s based on drafting a franchise player (AI).  Beyond that?  Mediocre to bad.  And in a far, far superior market.

[jmack78Participant]

Do you consider making the playoffs mediocre?  The only reason why were bad after Iverson is because of horrible contracts to below average players…..

Yes, being the 7 or 8 seed is mediocre.  And yes, poor contracts are a terrible way to rebuild.  Like taking Igodala’s big contract before you know how it will look in the new CBA over cheap, young talent.
