Philly locks up Iguodala
The Sixers accomplished a lot this offseason and they seem ready to battle for the East this year. The Sixers signed their star to a 6 yr 80 million dollar deal that locks him up for good in Philly. Philly also locked up Lou Williams to a deal so he is not going to bolt to play for Cleveland or Golden State. The Sixers signed that big post player they needed by picking up Elton Brand and the Sixers have a very solid team going into this season if everyone can stay healthy and Brand can return to form. Some people may criticize the signing of Iguodala because he got locked down in the playoffs by Detroit and he hasn't made an all star team yet. Many people do not think Iguodala is worth 80 million but many teams were trying to sign him or trade for him so he had to be worth something to all these teams. Iguodala averaged 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.1 steals in 82 games last season. He struggled in the playoffs against Detroit, averaging 13.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. He led Philly to the playoffs and now with the additon of Brand the Sixers could be big time players in the East this year.
