Starting to think my original assessment of Iguodala being a shell of his old self is accurate.
Well - I will say this. Statistically NBA players start to tail off at 30, and then decline appreciably at 32. Of course many players defy these stats, but there's no doubt that Iguadola years 30-34, isn't going to be as good as if we had signed him at 26 or 28 years old. I think one could construct a solid argument that patience with Barnes, and holding on to our draft picks, and those 3 contracts till the end of this season, would've been a better course of action for this team. Particularly since they still seem to be pretenders, and not true contenders with Iggy on board. Of course player production is situational, so it's hard to be too critical of Iguadola's production. We got nothing out of Brooks/Bazemore, yet they've been very productive for the Lakers (at least offensively).
