goyo. keizer, oregon [via mobile]: Can the Blazers trade for Andre igaduala "Iggy" trade away miller and pryzbilla & a first rounder? Or who can Portland get to improve?
Ric Bucher (1:48 PM): Heard they offered Batum and Przybilla for Iguodala and Philly didn't bite. My sense is they'll move Roy before they move Miller.
Batum's only 22. He's a good defender, a solid spot-up three point shooter, and a better fit with Holiday and Turner. It helps the Sixers in the long-run, and it's not out of the question that a healthy Przybilla along with Batum would improve the Sixers right now. Przybilla is also an expiring contract.
I would've taken the deal.

Not a Sixers fan
But I would’ve done this trade in a heartbeat. There are few young wings out there with as much potential as Batum. He can shoot from anywhere, and he can defend too.

the blazers were recently just awarded the sum of greg oden’s contract this year due to a hardship rule in trade exception. i think like 3 or 4 mill? along with pryz i think it would.
Resident Smartass.
If you’re confident Turner is the real deal, this is the type of move to make. Batum would be a great fit with Jrue and Turner, and would move Meeks to his more natural 6th man role. All of a sudden you have three legit shooters out of those 4.

I agree with you completely.
Batum fits so well with what we are considering to be our back court of the future.
Do the Sixers have a 2nd in this years draft?
What about Igoudala and a 2nd for Batum, Pryz and their 1st?

Who are these 40 percent people?
If this is real, not doing this trade is a travesty. Unless there are other deals out there, which frankly im beginning to believe there arent, then this non-move may have set us back around 3 years.
Every win we get and every day we have iguodala are both setting us back months in development toward a young, talented, and winning team similar to the developmental curve of the thunder.
I dont get much 6er footage
But Iggy looks like he alright in the box scores. Why is everyone pining for his exit? He puts up near triple double # every other game? Thats VERY solid production gone….
Salivating
That would’ve been lovely.

Besides the pick swap (our 2 vs their 1), I’d prolly want to swap speights or whatever for rudy fernandez and see if he can add to the spacing. Worse case we let hom go back to spain and get salary relief.
But its interesting – use pryz as a changeup to hawes – keep the competitive fire behind hawes so he get complacent now that he seems to have turned a corner
