Iguodala has a fair contract, but the conclusion is correct. They don’t have a defensive presence inside and they don’t have inside or outside scorers and suffer from overlapping talent.

They should have drafted a big man, and they shouldn’t have taken Nocioni without a way to get rid of him. It would suck if he became another Elton Brand, where we get stuck playing out his contract until he’s worth something as an expiring. Dalembert had to go, but I don’t think we got anything of value in return. Bad as he was, Sam was a starting NBA Center.

The Sixers should be busy on the phones trying to work out trades, they have too many small forwards, are missing a point guard and a big man with some credentials. Hawes, Speights, Smith and Battie are your Centers? Really? Doug is ok with this? I think the roster needs a lot of work, maybe some players will come available after they get caught in a numbers game trying to make a good team.

I wonder what Eric Dampier would cost them?

Uh, yes Iguodala is a bad contract. He’s getting paid 12.5 million and he’ll be under contract the next several years!

Iguodala isn’t going to develop a 3pt shot or handles anytime soon, nor a post game. He is what he is, a 3rd option solid defensive player.

In no way, does Iguodala deserve anywhere close to 12.5 million.
