The Andre Iguodala Contract Situation

Inside the Mind of Andre Iguodala

What's taking so long to sign Andre Iguodala? His take... I'm sure everyone wants to know what's going on with my contract situation. Everything is kinda in slow motion right now, which is for the most part normal for all restricted free agents. Teams come in and out of play each day and my agent and I are taking our time to see how things develop with the Sixers and around the league.

Evaluating the ’07-’08 76ers: Andre Iguodala

Andre Iguodala 2007 Season Review Stats: 39.6 MPG / 19.9 PPG / 45.6% FG / 32.9% 3PT / 72.1% FT / 5.4 RPG / 4.8 APG / 2.1 SPG / 0.6 BPG / 2.6 TOV Iguodala was easily the 76ers' best all-around player.

Forgive me while I show my true "homerism" and rant about my disappointment/anger regarding Philadelphia's non-existent representation in the 2008 All-Star festivities. Rookie/Sophomore Challenge Why the hell was Thaddeus Young not on the All-Star rookie team?!? Can you say BULLSHIT. If you need a refresher on why he should have been playing Friday night check this out. Who would I replace for Young? Jeff Green. He has been nothing short of mediocre considering he plays 24.5 minutes … [Read more...]

Thaddeus Young: The Sixers Overlooked Rookie Standout

At 19-years-old Thaddeus Young is proving to be a true diamond in the rough for the Sixers. Going into the season most people thought Thaddeus was two or three years away from really contributing. No one really anticipated he would make much of an impact right away for Coach Mo. Except Young of course. As the 12th pick in the 2007 NBA draft with tremendous upside, there were still a few questions marks about Young: Raw - Having played only one college season his game was … [Read more...]
