Narducci: Iguodala not going anywhere

Speculation of Andre Iguodala leaving the Sixers as a restricted free agent has once again invited Lady Controversy's pimpled face to hang with the Sixers fandom.

Oh God save us!

Rumors are rampant. And many surround the man with a plan, the other AI, the guy from the Chi. So is a trade necessary to get some value for the Sixer’s best player?

I mean, it is possible Iguodala will leave the Sixers in the dust, with only 19-year-old Thaddeus Young to rely on?

It seems dumb to trade Andre unless you're 100 percent certain he’s not going to stay with the team. And besides Shaq missing games during the regular season, there aren't a whole lot of things that can be predicted with that type of accuracy.

Yes, there’s a lot that can happen between now and this July.

Trades should never be made out of pure speculation, but let’s just take a moment and assume the absolute worst hypothetical.

So Dre leaves. What then?

The Sixers are left with cap space to go after a forward like Antawn Jamison. If they don’t see a player they like, they take the year to rebuild and give the young guns some run.

Then they hit the free agent pool hard the next summer, and keep its fingers crossed for a high draft pick.

See, not so bad.

However, Philapelphia Inquirer reporter Marc Narducci told me he doesn’t foresee the Sixers parting with Andre Iguodala before the trade deadline.

In an email correspondence he wrote to me:

I'm an Iguodala guy and wouldn't trade him. People say he isn't a first option and maybe that is so, but he plays good defense and even though his offensive game is a work in progress, I think he's already a very good player who should continue to get better.

So I wouldn't trade him, and try to get a power forward another way, either through free agency (Antawn Jamison) or a trade.

The Sixers would have to find more cap room. If they can't sign Jamison then it's doubtful that nobody else will be able to and he'll likely resign with Washington.

Philly will probably opt for a scorer in the draft, and the team seems to have endless opportunities coming up this summer.

Narducci breaks these issues down and much more on his Deep Sixer blog, which is certainly worth a gander.
