I do. But I also said the Jazz need to have a 8-9 man rotation just as all teams do. Do we want Utah to keep contending for the 7th or 8th seed? We've been there and done that for the last few years. Adding Iggy NOW likely gives them a shot at that but hurts the long-term success of Utah. What I have ALWAYS advocated is building around Favors, Hayward and Kanter. Maybe Burks is a 6th man or starter, maybe not. But the Jazz need to roll out a line-up with plenty of playing time for those 4 + their first rounders. With an young inexperienced bench, the Jazz will lose early and often. At the deadline, with $27M in cap space, the Jazz can likely pick up either TWO quality players or additional lottery picks for 2014. Assume the current "Core4," add the two first-rounders, 2 players (or picks) via trade and a top-10 draft pick of our own. That's 9 players right there, not counting other FA signings. Iggy is very good, but he's about to become very overpaid. And for Utah to sign him, they'd likely have to pay him WAY over what he's worth. AS for the 2014 draft, I think they'll land in the 6-8 range and maybe have the chance to move higher if they get additional picks by helping teams avoid the luxury tax..

It's a fact that Iggy will be overpaid so we shouldn't consider him AT ALL. Got it.

I'd be comfortable with Iggy @ $13mm per and CP3 maxed. Who's not buying Favors-Kanter-Iggy-Hayward-CP3, with franklin senior vice towel boy?

Exactly. Overpay a few guys and then you end up losing Favors, Kanter or Hayward because the $ isn't there to pay them. We get an "iggy'-type player next season by drafting in the top-8 and he comes with a rookie-scale contract!

Huh?

There's no money now and we are drafting top eight? Como se comprende?

Anyway, getting a top player like Iggy is out of the question; lets stop talking about it.

Since when is Iggy a top player. An overpaid SG/SF that can't really shoot. I never got the love for Maggette and Iggy's a very similar if slightly better player.

Maggette and Iguodala have VERY different games....

I do agree that Iguodala is overpaid, however.

Your are correct. Though they are both SG/SF's that don't space the floor due to sub par outside shooting. Iggy is a better teammate and passes the ball better. He's also a better defender. The part that bugs me about both is the shooting.
.
And I still would not call Iggy "a top player".

I have no idea what you just said. We have plenty of money now and are drafting #14. Next season we likely draft top-8 but also have to look at paying out big contracts to Favors and Hayward, with Kanter the next season and likely MLE-type money for Burks, if he shows he's worth keeping. Paying $15M-$16M/per for 4 years to Iggy is ridiculous. He's not a franchise player but apparently wants to be paid like one. So at that rate, do you think a "Big-3" of Iggy, Favors and Kanter will challenge for a title?
