Do you guys think some GM's are waiting for the Olympics to be done before they consumate a trade with players involved in the games? Why would a GM trade for Calderon now when he might get injured during the Olympics? Maybe the Raps and the 76ers will do a Calderon and others for Iguodala swap when they both get back from th Olympics healthy. Or am I just dreaming?

In years past Jose's international play has had an affect on his regular season stamina and some felt had also led to injuries as well. As he gets older, he stands a greater chance in hurting himself.

Holiday can play some 2-guard.
The main thing though is he is an expiring contract.
It seems that all of Philly's moves are being geared towards having A LOT of flexibility for next summer. Trading AI frees up another $15.9M for next year.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostI still don't see it if Philly is a playoff team. That would be trading their best player, or 2nd best maybe if Holiday takes another step forward, for a backup PG. They clearly need a back PG, but not for Iggy. I think that only happens if their season is going down the crapper. Otherwise, I think they might look to fill that void differently. If I were them, I would pitch Thad Young+a pick to Minny for Luke Ridnour and Derrick Williams, or something like that
Right now I do not think they are a better team than last year. They are weaker at backup PG and much weaker with their big guys. No one is close to replacing Brand - even an old Brand.
Maybe you are on to something with MIN though, via HoopsHype.com:

I posted this a week or so ago in a different thread.. but if it's accurate, Minny wants no part of Iggy:

The Andre Iguodala dream can just about die. The source said the Wolves have done a ton of homework on him, and the feedback didn't all register positively. Because of that, they are reluctant to give up assets and pay him $30 million over the next two years. His contract has a player option for 2013-14, which he is expected to opt into.

BTW: Spanish Team has more talent (hint hint to BC) than the roster of the Toronto Raptors.
And after 7 years in the NBA I doubt 2 weeks of play will do anything to really change a GM's opinion of Jose other than to reassure them that he can still play. And if he does stick around until the trading deadline, with the change to backup minutes I'm more confident that he'll be able to stay healthy.Two beer away from being two beers away.

Anyway, I think it'll all work out as long as Jose doesn't get seriously injured.Walking like I'm already there.

Sooner the better I think for everyone...move on.
Games should have an impact on his value to some degree and I hope its a positive one for the Raptors to take advantage of
Teams are unlikely to make a major trade during the Olympics as many front office are in London, scouting the internationals. Yes, they probably talk potential trades but I suspect they will wait until they are back on American before executing it. Most media sent their sports reporters to the Olympics and it would be hard to generate interest in the new acquisition through the media if the regular reporters cannot attend the press conference.
I'd rather Jose stays with the Raptors as I am not a fan of John Lucas III and I saw how well a team performed with a shitty backup point guard after my Cavaliers traded Ramon Sessions and picked up crap from the development league.
No thanks.
