Andre Iguodala is prepared to sign a contract worth a reported $80 million to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers. Iguodala had been a restricted free agent. Last summer, Iguodala turned down a deal estimated to be worth around $55 million.
After signing Elton Brand this offseason, re-signing Iguodala was vital if the Sixers wanted to be true Eastern Conference championship contenders. With Iguodala back in the fold, the Sixers can now aim to win at least 50 wins during the upcoming season.
While Iguodala will remain a very good fantasy basketball player, his production might slip a bit in the upcoming years. Brand will take a lot of his touches. Younger players such as Louis Williams and Thaddeus Young will also need touches. While Iguodala’s all-around game will no doubt remain solid, expect his scoring and assist numbers to plateau.
