Andre Iguodala trade rumors have been rampant for decades it seems, but they've never been more real than they've been this month. Beginning on June 3 with the first formal rumor of Andre Iguodala for Hedo Turkoglu, and ending with the most recent rumor of Andre to the Wolves for the number two pick, like the Kardashians, the rumors are becoming more and more difficult to keep up with.
With the draft creeping closer and the looming lockout about a week away these rumors are going to be resolved soon, at least temporarily. Either something's going to happen, or it won't (Rod Thorn'd!). Since our thoughts on the trade are spread throughout various blog posts, thousands of tweets and now a podcast I thought it'd be cool idea to round up all the rumors, and assign my overall thoughts to each individual rumor in the shortest and sweetest way possible.
And there's nothing shorter or sweeter Haikus! After the jump, the five prominent rumors (with links to the original rumor posts), and a Haiku summarizing my current thoughts on each. For those who are unfamiliar with Haikus, it's 5,7,5 (syllables) baby!
Andre Iguodala for Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu
MJ of Turkey
Hedo expires same as Brand
Ball.Ball.Pizza.Ball.
Andre Iguodala for Monta Ellis
Monta equals Lou
Too much Boss-ness for one team
Stupid, stupid trade
Andre Iguodala for Chris Kaman
Expiring Contract
Still better than first two trades
Kaman has bad hair
Andre Iguodala for Lamar Odom and Ron Artest
Interesting trade
Odom is an expiring
But pass on Artest
Update: Now it's Iguodala for Odom and Luke Walton
Luke > QueensBridge
Still just cap relief for 'Dre
I hate the Lakers
Andre Iguodala for the number two pick and stuff
Williams? Kanter? Yes!
It will not get much better
Let's make it happen

Update: Now it appears the Odom and Kaman talks are dead. Too bad Haikus are non-refundable.
