    Signing him to a long term deal is a risk, trading for him was not even remotely a risk. We lost one year of Iggy and a couple of ok prospects

    I never root for a player to get injured... but I'm glad it happened to rod thorn rather than anybody else

    At the very least it happened before we invested so much into him. We also can use our cap space to either sign him depending on who those knees are or move into a different direction.

    The whole point of the trade was to sign Bynum. Letting walk means you traded Iggy for nothing...

    I never understood why they couldn't just put metal springs where the knees used to be.

    Philly didn't want Iggy's contract long-term either and didn't want to be in the position of having to offer him an extension.

    Whole point of trading for Bynum was to finally see what jrue and ET can do.

    Sixers knew the risk with Bynum and were willing to take it.

    First of all I feel bad for Drew, big fan of his. Second, I might come off as a **** but we're so lucky we traded him. Heck even if Dwight walks the trade was a win for us.

    As for Philly. Not a big loss. Considering that Iggy would've eaten 16 mill next season, and he really wasn't going to lead them anywhere, the Sixers could probably do one of the following:

    1) Just don't re-sign Drew
    2) Trade him to the highest bidder
    3) The most risky option. Keep him, but for a discounted price

    I'd be disappointed if I were a Philly fan, but honestly, if they reverse the trade, Iggy wasn't going to get them nowhere and the money he eats up doesn't help them cap wise.

    Sucks for 6er fans but I'm happy for selfish reasons. Nothing personal but I've got a $500 bet with a die hard 6er fan that the Knicks finish with a better record.
