@Xraided: Taking Barnes with Lee for Iggy doesn’t make a ton of sense for Philly because of their abundance of wings. If that’s what it takes to get get Iggy, I’d need Moultrie back as well. Then, we’d definitely need to sign JJ Hickson, as he’d be our likely starter at PF.
Bayless is now gone, so in my mind, it’s now either Aaron Brooks or CJ Watson as veteran back-up PGs.
The question then becomes McGuire or Rush? Rush is the better scorer and a decent defender, but McGuire the better all-around defender/rebounder/hustler.

Bigger question, is there anything we can do that will force both Jefferson and Biedrins to NOT pick up their options in 13-14?

Why O why wasn’t Biedrens amnestied. His 9 mill is a giant albatross!

Why all the trade Barne’s for Iggy talk? Yeah, Iggy’s a Defensive force, and that’s something we need, but we haven’t even seen Barne’s play a game, let alone a summer league game in a dubs uni. We know that with Iggy, he’s not a great passer, isn’t a great shooter, slow ya rollssss. Barne’s may surprise you guys!

now a trade of Barnes and Lee for Iggy? i’m sure that’s what the Hawks would be looking for .. the W’s would push for a chunk of Iggy’s contract to be off their books, but that’s seems plausible at this point.

a deal like that would get our all star, and allow us to go get more FA’s than we can right now! Brooks and Hickson brought in to play with Iggy for a daisy fresh rookie and the no-defense Lee? my answer: YES!

Iggy for Lee would be incredible, although they wouldn’t just do that.

Reason being is taht Iggy being dangled out there certainly attracts a lot of big fish … there’s many other teams that can offer way more than the W’s can.

Barnes and Tyler and Biestink for Joe Smith? no man… would you do that trade if you were the Hawks GM? that’s what, 15 mill invested this year in the good, the bad, and the ugly?

that my friend, is a pipe dream.

David Lee for Iguodala solves so many problems its ridiculous…(toughness, defense, athleticism, rebounding…) Klay and Stephen will score more than enough PTS!

Figure out the PF problem later…

Harp’s Dubs for GM! Save for option 1. Option 2 has to be better bc rush cant guard most 2 guards. Dude is really a SF…

No we need to start buildinmg a team, not trading a bunch of guys. We have a good PF and C so we build arounf that, and okay PG in Curry and Klay is a rising star. Barnes has The potential to be a great player and the wing, so lets build around that.

If we’re making no more trades, we have two scenarios:
1) Let McGuire walk, re-sign Rush, sign JJ Hickson and sign Aaron Brooks
2) Let Rush walk, re-sign Dominic McGuire, sign JJ Hickson and sign Jerryd Bayless

On another note, I’m trying to figure out what the Sixers are doing at the PF spot. Are they thinking a tandem of Moultrie and Thaddeus Young’s gonna cut it? They need more scoring. They have a glut of wings now. This is the time for an Iggy/David Lee swap. It’s a wash with salaries. What, then, would we do for our power forward? Trade Barnes, Tyler and Biedrins to the Hawks for Josh Smith.

It’d be nice to see our Warriors team look like:
PG – Curry/Bayless/Jenkins
SG – Thompson/Rush
SF – Iguodala/Jefferson/Green
PF – Smith/Hickson
C – Bogut/Ezeli

That club joke is busted.
