From what I can tell, using ESPN Trade Machine, this trade will ALMOST work:
Turkoglu (9.00) + Evans (4.96) + Banks (4.55) = (18.51)
FOR
Iguodala (12.20) + Dalembert (12.03) = (24.23)
The Raps need to increase the trade value going out by some $984k. (18.51 + .98 = 19.49) Make that happen and the Sixers dump roughly $4.74 million in salary this year (and another $12.5 long term given the difference in salary between Iggy and Hedo). That might not be enough.
So the question becomes, if we really want Iggy here - and I do, then who can we trade Banks or Evans to for an expiring contract that would make this trade REALLY work for Philadelphia (i.e. give them more in expiring contracts)?
FIRST OPTION:
Evans (4.96)
FOR
Haddadi (1.63) + Hunter (3.70) = (5.32)
Memphis gets a usable PF in Evans and we get a nice expiring in Hunter. Make some other moves and try to get it all to work.
SECOND (AND BEST OPTION)
Evans (4.96) and Nesterovic (1.99) = 6.95
FOR
Thomas (7.35) ---- from Oklahoma
THEN
Turkoglu (9.00) + Thomas (7.35) + Banks (4.55) = (20.90)
FOR
Iguodala (12.20) + Dalembert (12.03) = (24.23)
Oklahoma drops some salary overall, gets a player in Evans and still gets some Cap relief per Nesterovic.
Philadelphia drops some $3 million in salary this year, drops Thomas after this season (another 7.35 million) and saves another $10 million per the Iggy/Turks contracts.
Toronto is paying luxury tax now but:
-- gets a C who can play - even if horribly overpriced - in Dalembert;
-- gets Dalemberts expiring contract to trade with next year; and
-- gets Iggy to solidify the SG spot - the guy is basically the Chris Bosh of SG's (one step back of elite skills but with more defense and less offense)
Let's face it - we won't be getting any of the big boys here any time soon and so the best we can do is put together the best group of almost greats we can. Bosh and Iggy fit that description now while Bargs will get there in another year or two.
Anyways, lmk what you think.
