Why would Philly trade Iggy? Dude's one of the best defenders in the league... but if did, I'd welcome him with open arms.
Iggy is a great player but he is relied on too much on offense in Philadelphia. The leading scorer on Philley was Lou Williams, their back up PG!
Philley desperatly needs a go to scorer and Amare would fit right in with a tough athletic team that would look at Amare as the man just like the Knicks did when he first came here.
I really think Amare would be great in Philley.
I have a Philley fan that can't stand Iggy, because he is inconsitent on offense and when the team has no go to scorer, they go to Iggy who is not a go to player.
Iggy does everything but shoot well, but when he does start shooting well he can take over a game. With Lin and Melo we don't need Iggy to play amazing on the offensive end.
We have a faster team, a better defensive team, a better rebounding team, a better passing team, a more versatile team that can guard the likes of Dwayne Wade and Lebron.
Imagine a lineup of
Lin
Shumpert
Iguodola
Melo
Chandler
That is hardcore defense on any team that can create turnovers and turn it into fast break alley oop dunks just like Miami does. If you wathched game 2 with Philley smacking the Bulls, you will see a couple of highlight dunks by Iggy, the dude can throw it down.
The other big thing is that trading for Iggy would give us more cap room. Iggy is A LOT of money, about 13 mil a year for 3 more years, but that is 5 mil less than Amare and you get more from both ends of the floor with Iggy.
It is a good move for both sides.
