Lakers: Iggy to opt out and become unrestricted FA

[Samuel Eto'o]

He's also 29 years old, his athleticism is going to fade soon, and the only sustainable trait of his game is his passing, tbh..

No.

If a good team signed him to even a 3-4 year deal, it would be a good move. He is not a star player, but he could be a great role player for a championship team for the next 4 years.

As a role player, obviously he would be a great addition, like Marion with the Mavs..

He's not going to get role player money though IMO..

Pelican fans want him for 12+ mill. Not me.

IIRC Marion got something like 5 years 40 million. Every at the time said it was too much, but I think if that's what it cost to get a top level role player its a good deal.
I can't see Iggy getting a deal too much better than that.

[Uncle Drew]

if we can find a way to unload Pau, Nash, and Metta we can then sign KG and Paul Pierce to vet min deals....then we can trade Pau for Rondo straight up...amnesty Metta and sign Iggy and then find a sucker to trade for Nash...

I'm looking at

Kobe
Dwight
Iggy
Rondo
KG
Pierce

that should do it

None of that has a remote possibly of happening, at all.

[whitemamba]

hes comin tbh.....

[Squirtle(Westbrook)]

If he wants to go to a team over the luxury tax apron he may opt back in and force a trade. Thats how he can get to a team like the Lakers.

It could all be a media play to get to the Lakers. By getting this information out early that he is opting out, it preps Denver to accept a trade rather than nothing.

Since when did the cap really matter to the Lakers?

smh. You obviously have no idea how the NBA works. Just because you have a bazillion dollars doesn't mean you can sign anybody you want. Even before the new CBA you couldn't. Why do you think LeBron doesn't make max $$?

I guess they don't make sarcasm meters in the country? You farmers sure are dense son. The "" didn't give it away huh? SMH

[baseline bum]

iggy, harden, and Dwight will be a good team.... Add Chris Paul in the mix and they are a great team instantly

Why not get LeBron and Hibbert too, and then make a move for det Drummond to shore up the bench?

[DMC]

One of the most overrated players in the history of the NBA, tbh..

That Pop flipping the bird is one of the worst photoshops I've ever seen.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I'd be ok with him going to the lakers. it's just what they need a monkeyballer that can't shoot.

[Chinook]

If doable, he'd be a great fit for Memphis.

Maybe a sign/trade?

I pray Phoenix doesn't lose their mind and sign him. Would have loved him in 2010, but now it's just wasted money.

Would he really be anything more than an upgrade to Tony Allen? He can defend and drive, but he can't shoot and can't play in the PnR. If I were the Grizzlies, I'd rather trade Randolph and get some quality players that way.

I think Iggy fits best on a team like Golden State, as they already have shooters and needs someone else who can drive and defend. Milwaukee can use him as well, as could Atlanta.

No son. This thought is:

"NBA World Champion LA Clippers"

Well played
