Iguodala to Clippers?

One Philadelphia team could be ready to make a franchise altering move- and its not the Phillies.

Sources close to David Aldridge of NBA.com have told him that the Los Angles Clippers have called the Sixers about the possibility of acquiring Andre Iguodala. The Clippers have a big hole at the small forward spot, and have not been able to make any big moves this off season despite their efforts. While this may amount to nothing, it does make sense for both teams.

Aldridge does not mention who the Sixers asked for in return, but given the huge amount of money that is owed to Iguodala this season (almost 12 million), the only two players who would make sense under the salary cap restrictions are Baron Davis and Chris Kaman.

If it is even possible, Baron Davis might have an even worse contract then Iggy, with Davis far past him prime and still owed 41 million over the next 3 years. Plus, with Jrue Holiday at point guard, the team has no need to add the shoot first point guard to this young roster.

Kaman, on the other had, is an interesting prospect. Even with Spencer Hawes now on the roster, Kaman would be valuable to the Sixers as a low post scoring option. Kaman averaged close to 20 and 10 last season. The Clippers drafted DeAndre Jordan to be his eventual replacement, but it is not known if they are ready to move on from Kaman just yet.

Moving Iguodala would be a dream come true for the Sixers. With Iggy out of the picture, they could start Thaddeus Young at the 3, and Evan Turner at the 2. Young took a step back last year coming off the bench, which should motivate the Sixers even more to make sure he is in the starting line up this season.

Hopefully Ed Stefanski can make this happen. Adding Turner, while getting rid of Iguodala and Dalembert in the same summer, would definitely have this team heading in the right direction heading into the new season.
