Apparently Iggy has an early termination option in his contract so this is assuming he opts out

 

Jsmoove

18ppg on 15.6 shots a game. .303 3pt% 4.2FTA. 8.4 RPG, 4.2 ast, 1.8blocks, 1.2 steals, 3 TO

We already know all about JSmoove, he is JR Smith but taller and not as good at shooting.

 

Iggy

13ppg on 11 shots, .317% 3pt%, 3.4 FTA, 5.3 rpg, 5.4 ast, .7 blocks, 1.7 steals, 2.6 TO

 

He is the Marion of our generation.

 

So do you go with the high character guy that lets you play small and gives you what he gives you consistantly?  Or do you go with the highly variable guy who can single handedly blowout you or your opponent?

 

I doubt Iggy opts out, but if they are commanding similar money...  I like Iggy to check our opponents best wing (a serious weakness that Garcia is helping us paper over right now) plus give you consistant numbers.

Andre Iguodala | ETO (early termination option): Iguodala can tear up the final $16.2 million of his deal and become a free agent. As I mentioned earlier, he was Denver's most consistent perimeter defender and was able to play to his strengths (facilitating, defending). More importantly, he was appreciated for it, something that didn't happen in Philadelphia. How much do you pay him? Will he seek a change of scenery anyway?

 

This is from an ESPN Insider article its pretty long and only this bit applies to this conversation.

AI>Smith. Both cost to much.

Iggy should be cheaper than smith and takes less bad shots, would be interesting but is alittle old for a 4yr deal at the money he will command in my opinion.

That's alot of money for Iggy and he's in a good situation, I don't see him opting out.

 

If we get Josh Smith I just hope the goal is to include him (maybe with Thomas Robinson) in a trade for Kevin Love who seems very disgruntled with his organization. I like Josh Smith, but I think Kevin Love has superstar potential.

I can't see Iggy turning down $16M, to be honest. He would be a great fit alongside Harden, but it's not happening.

While I like what Iggy has done I don't see how using a big chunk of our cap on him is wise.  He can't play PF.  He has to get minutes at SF and SG--which are minutes that could go to Harden/Parsons.  The only reasonable thought is we are going to play small ball all year with Harden, Lin/Bev, Iggy, Parsons and Asik.  Not the worst thing that could happen.  We need another reliable big body that can play defense and give us a little something on offense.  Hopefully one of our young guys can make the leap this Summer and give us the flexibility to consider such an option....

He's a bad fit. No reason to pay that much for a back-up. He plays 2-3. Our best player is a two. And one of the best bargains in the NBA is our 3. Makes no sense for AI. He also doesn't shoot the ball from deep well enough in my opinion to play wing in this system.
