Rumor.....

There is a rumor surfacing (and I have a love/hate relationship with rumors so I'm reporting this one) that there are talks, or "musings" if you will, of a possible sign-and-trade involving Iguodala and Richard Hamilton. I can see the Pistons thinking of this because they have a decent player in Rodney Stuckey, are clearly looking to get younger, and have always respected Iguodala. It's much easier for Sixers fans to envision life with Iguodala than without him but let's think about this for a minute. Hamilton is an incredible shooting guard who plays in a team flow offense and is lethal from mid-range. Yes, he is not very good from beyond the arc but he also is good at defense. Iguodala is going to be forced to play the shooting guard and many feel he doesn't have the shot ability we need. He will succeed more on drives and power moves to the basket rather than picking apart defenses. I love the argument this brings up but I also then see how we instantly make our team MUCH older in a short time and it's not thrusting us into championship talk. This is largely due to the depth of our bench. Andre Miller is not guaranteed after this year and we don't want to be holding the bag should he leave. I'd prefer to develop this youth more and then decide if we need to move pieces as we round out a bit more.
