ShefGator2 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Jeremi Rudolph of Real GM said on the Mike Bianchi radio show that he is hearing from "multiple sources" that the Magic are working on a deal that would be unannounced on Draft night to acquire Andre Iguodola from Philadelphia in a deal that would NOT include Jameer Nelson, but that would involve Hedo Turkoglu. Rudolph said he has not confirmed the rumor with Otis Smith but that he has heard this report from several "usually reliable" sources that have been around the NBA circles for a long time. Rudolph also said that the Magic might also look to add Tayshaun Prince as a free agent signing to play the small forward spot, with Iguodola at the 2. Obviously, it's a rumor, so take it for what it's worth. But, if true, this could be a good move for the Magic. Honestly, I'm just happy to hear about positive moves to help the team instead of this constant "Dwight is gone" crap. Quote

If we got rido of Hedo and brought in Iggy, while keeping Nelson, AND the new CBA lets us shed Gil's contract to boot, we all need to throw a thank you party for Otis. 10 1 Quote
A Random Stranger Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 If these rumors are true, I would be quite happy with those moves to be honest, plus it will free us of the dead weight contract of Hedo so...I'm all in for that. I'm still confused as to why Jameer will not be included in that package, but I guess we will find out won't we? Maybe another piece is coming for somewhere that we just don't know about. All in all, this is a rumor, but it is a positive rumor that may very well be true because Andre wants out and Philly wants to move him, plus Prince is an FA so all of this makes sense, but the pieces for this trade are something I want to see because I don't think Philly will just trade Iggy without some sort of compensation...I have a feeling Ryan and maybe J.J. are both included. 1 Quote
Tatoo Magoo Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I doubt it would be Turkoglu and Iguodala straight up We probably gotta throw in probably a Bass or Anderson for that. Philly would never give up Iggy for Turk unless they are getting a pick or some other asset from us. I'd expect it to be for a PF. I'm not getting my hopes up that's for sure. Besides, Iggy provides defense and slashing ability and some passing skills... He can't shoot for his life and is inconsistent. Sounds good now, but I hope we don't give up too much if this goes down. I like Iggy more than Turk anyways. Except Turk has "What did Hedo just say?" Quote
bhnole Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Love this deal but don't see why the Sixers would do it? 1 Quote
nbr Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 If we acquired Iggy and Tayshaun at a loss of Hedo + JJ/ Ryan Anderson, or both, I'd be pretty happy about that. Quote
Ibn Battuta Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 obviously a huge upgrade defensively, but AI still isn't that primary creator we all want. I'm curious what other parts are involved, b/c the salaries are so close to begin with. Quote
KandiKane Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Thats the best gif, so funny! I am assuming this rumor has no legs. Probably just came up with it from the realgm forum. No way in hell 76ers would do that. Quote
Jareth Cutestory Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 10 bucks says if this deal is true, we are using our TPE to absorb Nocioni to sweeten the pot... 1 Quote
A Random Stranger Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Probably Elton Brand...I think Philly wants to trade Elton's bad contract for Hedos and most of the pieces that are going to philly are for Iggy. I am, of course, just assuming. They most likely want Hedo because they need a passer because their pg's (lawl) don't know what a pass is. So, Hedo can fill the role of Iggy, plus they get rid of a large contract in Brand at the same time...and acquire more youth from say....Anderson...J.J. and Bass...probably a 2nd round for this year and a 1st from the next.
