No player should ever take a discount. They have a short window to make a fortune and they should grab it. He can go for his ring the Karl Malone way when he is just about done.

The 4 letter word boards are going crazy over this. Am I the only one who doesn’t see this as a major impact? I like Iguodala but they still need a shooter. Not big on dalembert, Miller is a decent PG. I could be wrong but I still don’t see Philly being that big of a threat in the East.

Oh wow, yeah, sorry, I should have known by 2 after the AI, not sure why I was thinking Iverson.

Yeah, Iguodala is a RFA, from what I’ve read, they’ll still be able to match offers for him. I’m not sure on how everything works out with the numbers and what not, but I think they’ve got the money worked out to keep him as well. I saw something the other day that the Warriors might go after Iguodala if they missed on Brand.

Sorry, I meant Iguodala, I just had no idea how to spell it without looking it up.

Iverson decided not to opt-out, so he'll be an unrestricted Free Agent after next season going off of this.

I guess this means Brand can leave.I could be mistaken, but isn't AI2 a RFA this year? Don't they need money to resign him as well?

As a Sixers fan, I hope they get one of Josh Smith or Elton Brand. I guess Brand would be the better addition? But Smith is younger and has so much potential. Obviously, can’t complain about Brand, though. Not like there were better uses of the money.
