Iggy 6'6" 207 13ppg---34 mpg $14,000,000....... Dorell Wright 6'9" 206 11ppg---22.3 mpg $4,100,000 ! Very long and athletic !
    Dorell Wright is only averging 9 PPG but averaged 16 2 seasons ago.

    I have never seen him as a #5, but I have been told by the GURUS on this board that he will be ! So, I guess I am wrong !
    Becareful who you consider a guru on this board. A lot of people spewing random thoughts as they pop in their heads.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    my bad>> 11 was a 10 game split ! He is worth a look . I am not an Iggy fan per say & a 14 mil POP even makes me less of an Iggy fan ! Unless via trade or RFA in 2013, the #3 position is GOd awful in the UFA area .

    really>> PIPE DREAM would be Josh Smith . He is even cheaper than Iggy ! 6'9" 225 . But, is he a Monty type of player ? atlanta has been a One-on-One type of team under Drew & co. for several years now . wonder if Smith would fit in Montys concept ? Smith is a UFA !

    I think Smith will get near max money; either in Atlanta or elsewhere.

    How would we fit IGGY, then ? He is MAX money . I see Iggy all over this board . Iggy here, Iggy there, Iggy everywhere ! We cant afford to pay him (at least not long term) . If we keep EGO past 4 (well 3 now) & plan to, MAX AD in 3, Iggy is not here, not there, he is nowhere .
