Two Trade Ideas (Allen & Iguodala)

[GranTur]

Here are two Iggy ideas.

I'm very against every trade idea that involves Ray Allen except for one: Andre Iguodala.

Anything involving mental Chicago players or the injury-ridden Kevin Martin makes me cry. Monta Ellis would be a maybe but he needs the ball in his hands too much for my liking. Plus his defense isn't enough of an upgrade.

BOSTON gets: Andre Iguodala, Lou Williams, Jason Kapono
PHILADELPHIA gets: Ray Allen, Eddie House, Brian Scalabrine

This trade is simplest for both teams. Talking with some Philly fans, it seems like the team is going to do whatever it takes to get under the tax.

This sends serviceable replacements for Philly and clears an enormous amount of money for them.

This also gives the Celtics the athleticism, defense, and back-up PG needed.

BOSTON gets: Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Lou Williams
Philadelphia gets: Ray Allen, Rasheed Wallace, Eddie House

Fans in Philly don't feel very comfortable sending Iggy away for only expiring contracts, especially if they are getting no young talent and if Elton Brand isn't included.

This trade saves Philly an absurd amount of money and gets Elton off their books.

This sends Iggy and Williams to us, and Brand has shown some signs of life lately for a more consistent scoring presence off the bench.
