Even though this is a ridiculously stupid rumor that likely isn't true.....Am I the only one that actually doesn't like it that much?
Iggy was broken down in the finals. He's 32 with 900+ games played. Two of the last 3 seasons he's only played in 65 or fewer regular season games.
Shump just turned 26 and is on a value contract. I know he gets dinged here and there but we need to hang on to our youth at all costs. We are absolutely strapped financially and the way we face dive is by trading young guys like Shump for old guys like Iggy.
Assuming Shump rebounds from his poor shooting season, I'd rather have him at $10 million per then having to re-sign Iggy at a bloated contract when he is on his last legs.
Is Iggy a better player today? Sure.....will he be in a year? Who knows. Keep the young guy who is already locked up. GSW is in cap hell, it would make absolutely ZERO sense to trade them a young, value player on a good contract when they face losing one of Livingston / Iggy due to cap hold issues.
