Denver GM is amazing. Gets rid of Afflalo's contract and get Iggy to play in that style of offense...

Yeah and they or any other team potentially acquiring him will have to since he's not signing for less $$ and years when he could get a brand new contract for even more $$ and years from the team with his bird rights.

All aboard! The Love train!
I get that, but that's playing him out of position. He's never been a 2.

Not necessarily. Hawes is slow as fuck. Brand isn't much faster.
Bynum would actually give us a half-court option tho. We'd also miss Iggy's ability to push the break. He was a threat to dunk on someone...Turner is not.
The thought is that Iggy is gonna walk next offseason (He has an option) and we have been offered doo doo for him..
so y not?
He had his best season at the 2...with Andre Miller.
he will finally have a true point guard again or at least someone with a brain who can dribble and not cut themselves.

Iggy at the 2
Gallo at the 3/4
Chandler at the 3/4
Randolph on the bench.... Cause a lineup of him and McGee would cause a blackhole of negative BBIQ.
Anyhow iggy and Wilson will bother a lot of Swingmen defensively

Seems like a big gamble. Centers are always in demand and I can see a team like Dallas offering him a max deal.

Who does everyone receive in this deal? No way the Magic are flipping essentially Dwight for Aaron Afflolol.

Hennigan to kill this trade in the next hour or so.
Mark it down.

considering the magic were entertaining a deal with houston for just a bunch of picks... i wouldnt be surprised.
they are set on recreating the magic to be like the thunder.
Team with his bird rights can offer him an extra year and more $$. It's likely one of the reasons Deron chose Brooklyn over Dallas since Nets could offer an extra $25 mil and another year over Dallas.

Source said that he still prefers Houston offer. so mite happen

I think they are going to get a ton of first rounders in this deal.

He has always been a tweener between 2 and 3

You can't have a line up starting Gallo or Chandler at 4 and expect Karl not to kill someone..
Blackace

They will be weak at 4... But already are so bring on Iggy
Zeus Molecules

Wilson can guard against most 4's and Gallo is a stretch 4 at his core....
But yeah you probably right but McGee and Randolph are going to give Karl a heart attack.
Blackace
if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
uh.. No?
But regardless their weakness at 4 has nothing to do with the trade.. They will be better with Iggy than without
Afflalo and late draft picks. What's wrong with that?
Better off letting him walk than overpaying for Afflalo

Orlando wants to rebuild with draft picks or so I've heard.

Chandler has played tons of SG in his Knicks tenure. It would be:
SG: Chandler
SF: Iggy
PF: Gallo
And Gallo would be destroyed nightly unless he bulks up a bit. Flopping ain't going to save him.
Iggy has played more 2 than Chandler
Zeus Molecules

D'antoni use to have have him guard 4's maybe that corrupted my view of him but yeah Wilson and Iggy are going to be a gold defensive Duo
lakers have been quiet since getting nash and i haven't been active here since the whole off season market has been slow. i hate this shit though. i can't get too excited for this, but i want a dwight howard trade to happen. it won't though, so fuck orlando for making me get my hopes up

Sixers could have had Jose Calderon! Don't know how they could settle for a deal like this.

Iggy Chandler and Gallo should never see a minute at the 4. Not a second.
edit: I'm not getting too hyped just yet, more likely than not this is just Henny's regularly scheduled Howard tug job.

Afflalo is a nothing player. There's a lot of guys who can score 15 points in the NBA if they play 35-40 minutes. He shoots at a decent percentage but he's completely replaceable on every squad he'll ever play on.

Aren't you a stat head? Nuggets have always been better with him off the court instead of him on it. One of the most overrated guys in the league.
This rumored deal is beyond putrid for the Magic. I already have no faith in Hennigan, this offseason has been a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
That said I would absolutely love to see Karl and Iggy together. Iggy would be unreal in Denver.
