I haven't confirmed this rumor from anywhere but here. But, if it is true, I don't want it.
I like Iggy, seriously. But Jose is an expiring veteran point guard (who is actually pretty good), then you add DeMar and Ed (2 players I really don't see the Raptors are giving up on at least for 1 more season), it makes a pretty bad trade on our part. I admit that Iguodala is a very good player in his prime. But let's face it, by the time the Raptors reach their potential, Iggy would be on his way down.
I don't like the fact that he can't shoot, although he can do a lot of things. DeMar, to me, is still an enigma. He has so much potential & I really think he can improve next season. He will be more efficient because teams don't have to game plan to stop JUST him.
Right now, we have Lowry & Jose, a very good point guard tandem, who can start for most teams, a good rotation of young players (with an unproven Terrence Ross) and a good rotation of capable big men. I think we can net more from Jose come trade deadline & I just don't agree with the rationale of giving up 2 of our young players with potential for a veteran swing man who will be on the decline soon.

No, it looks like Shipley said they were talking but @MySportsLegion (which looks shadier) gave the particulars.
lol is that a joke?....reggie hamilton led the NCAA in scoring and he went undrafted...with your logic he would of been the number 1 pick
Come on man
+1
Iggy is a great creator and facilitator - probably one of the best SF's at it. He's averaged 5 assists per game in his career and acts as a point-forward a lot of the time
Though if Granger is attainable he is worth a look - he is more of a primary scoring option and can spread the floor with his 3pt shooting
Compare Adam Morrison's college stats Dwayne Wade's. College doesn't tell the whole story.
He's a good passer, but not necessarily a good creator. Calderon is also a good passer, but can't create anything in an ISO.

if granger is an option it be too funny mulling trade options on 2 SF who the raps passed on in the draft in order to pick complete duds in hoffa & graham LOL
lrrelevant, man.
We are comparing the college stats of DD and TR.
that would be the only fair way so far to compair the 2 since Ross hasnt even laced his shoes up yet in the NBA
Of course.
But how then can you compare a rookie who has yet to play an NBA game and a vet?
no it is relevent because you are saying that TR has better stats that DD so he will become a better player. Im telling you that the guys who led the nation in scoring didnt get drafted so stats dont mean shit.
I think Nikola Vucevic is going to be a lot better than Ed Davis when it's all said and done. He might actually end up starting while JV acclimates himself to the NBA.
thats why you have scouts....im not saying that TR is a bad player im just saying you cant say he is a better replacement to DD without playing a single minute
There's more than the stats of course,
but all things considered, TR can be a better player than DD.
Right now, TR is the better shooter, better ballhandler, better defender.
I'm neutral about this trade but your reasons for not liking it are invalid. Bargnani is statistically better than Demar. Also Iggy is not injury prone. He has missed a total of 25 games in his 8 years in the league. 15 of them came from a single injury. The whole point of this trade is that we have made these players expendable. By obtaining Lowry we have an above average starting point guard in no longer need Jose when we could trade him for team needs. We also have Ross or fields, who you can't compare to Demar because Ross hasn't played a minute and fields was better than Demar before NYK got melo then his numbers dipped. I think either one would be a serviceable starter and by adding Iggy we get a solid starter at our weakest position. We give up 2/3 of our best players yes but we also now have the pieces that make those players not needed.
That should be irrelevant. If Ross is better he starts, if not DeRozan. Practices and games will bear that out. You should be comparing Demar and Iggy. Do we improve dramatically with Iggy instead of Demar? The answer is no. Philly replaces their top scorer Lou, who is leaving on the cheap with a player with similar stats (Demar - yes he has a different game). Philly is getting a true four (currently that position is filled with tweeners). Philly is getting a starting Pg.
We're getting a player who is not as dynamic as he used to be, doesn't score at a high clip anymore (and you guys hate Demar), and who?
Seriously, I would trade Iggy for Jose in a second. That's a fair trade. Their injury riddled starter for ours. Iggy doesn't play international ball so rehab during off-season may lead to us winning that one.
We don't win that trade, and they're in our division.
Philly actually loses on this trade-
