Iggy is athletic but he's not a consistent shooter. His other offensive skills are limited too. He doesn't deserve the $$ he's going to be paid. If he came here on the cheap - great. Otherwise, no.

Josh Smith and Iggy.
These are just writers speculating on who'd be great fits..but it's cool to see them somewhat being in the mix. But if you'd had to have Smith or Iggy who'd you take??
I'd take Iggy and move Green to the bench..

Of course they are " possible"...but likely, or even realistic? No.
Seriously tho. What kind of $$ does he want?? And what teams can offer him what he wants?? Spurs have what top 5 cap room this summer???
They seem to be talking max contract for IGGY (pass) or just have vague idea of Spurs cap situation. We have $20 million spend minus Bonner. That would to sign two of Iggy/Smith/Splitter. If we can't get any of those guys for $8-10 million per than no thanks.
Don't want any of those guys. I'd rather get a good player from the draft.
It should be an interesting offseason.
Apparently Iggy is opting out a $16 million payday next year. I can't imagine he gets that much annually. Either he is overvaluing himself or wants to win? I guess another possibility is he thinks he is best positioned for a longer term deal at less than $16 million per, I don't get the math of that one tbh.
Yes, throw a big long-term deal at a 29-year-old small-forward who relies on athleticism.
That usually works...
Iggy would be a horrible fit. He can't spread the floor well-enough.
4 yr/ $40mil
Maybe it's me, but I personally don't see the Spurs being big players in free agency this summer - outside or resigning their own.
You don't hire Iggy for his offense. You hire him for his defense.
The Spurs are going to make an effort to land some one in FA Spurs dont usually make moves in the offseason but they Ned to make a move to help Timmy get #5
with Green and Leonard, I don't think a wing defender is our top priority
4 yr/ $40mil
No to Iggy. I'd rather see Josh Smith tbh
They can create his own shot and attack the basket. But to me what makes him interesting is he's arguably one of the best passing wing players in the league. He's happy averaging 13/5/5.
Iggy is amazing, he is a big upgrade to what we have. He scores just fine and is athletic. Plus Iggy is big enough to play a SF role.
They likely won't, but we like to speculate cause it's exciting in an otherwise boring offseason. Plus you never know. This year we actually have some money to spend.
Iggy's a nice player but he doesn't deserve what he's going to get paid.
Josh Smith I seriously doubt comes here because 1) Another team will also overpay him, and 2) The Spurs basically decided not to try and pursue a trade for him last season because they thought he "wasn't a Spurs kind of guy" according to David Aldridge.
Iggy seems like a Richard Jefferson 2.0 reach by the front office. Josh Smith could be good
Fair point, and I agree we don't necessarily need him, but I like him as a player better than I like Josh Smith, for instance.
And you have to admit, the thought of Green, Leonard, Iguodala, and Duncan on the floor at the same time is easily one of if not the best defensive lineup in the NBA.
LOL RJ??? Now that you mention that, it makes me very nervous lol. Maybe we don't want Iggy around.....I think Iggy is quite a bit better, but I can see some similarities TBH. That is a big big turn off. Al Jefferson anyone? That's the one player I think the Spurs need the most.
Which means that IGGY would turn into HWSNBN II.
