This is likely a huge debate in many front offices. I don't think anyone is going to be willing to dump an outrageous contract on Iggy. Based on how much more frugal teams are being, and how much younger players made when signing extensions last year(Curry at $44M and Lawson for around the same), I don't believe anyone will overvalue his services. To me, an ideal contract for him is about 3 years at $30M. I would be hesitant for more years and more money than that because of how much he's declined and how limited he is offensively.

It's also possible that we're underrating Iguodala because he haven't looked at his advanced stats. So if anyone with access to that wants to come up with a brilliant post...

And it hasn't been brought up yet, but I think Iggy could be a good influence on EG. Gordon was our "leader" last season and frequently acted an arse. Monty would get on him for it, but the players wouldn't say anything. Iggy wouldn't put up with it, but I think he would be a positive enough influence that it would probably never come to that.

Players he defended shot 33.7% from the field, which is ridiculous.

Here's we can start to see the difference Iguodala makes defensively. For the minutes he has been on the court, Denver's defense has been 8.4 points better per 100 possessions. Even though this stat can be noisy, it's a nice start in determining his value to the Nuggets. For comparison, Denver's defense with Iggy on the court allows as many points per 100 possessions as the 7th best defensive team in the NBA. When he's off, they allow more than the 30th best team in the league!

quote:
But what about his offense? If you look at the On/Off and +/- numbers above, you'll notice that his presence neither helps nor hurts a lineup, which is great for a perimeter defender because they tend to be a negative. While his offensive statistics would appear to be slightly below average, it doesn't appear to have affected the Nuggets offense when he's on the court as evidenced by his RAPM and On/Off numbers. Sure his shot selection can be maddening at times, and we'd all love for him to be a better free throw shooter, but I think his play-making and work on the offensive glass make up for those weaknesses.

I think his leadership would be perfect for this team. He's not just any vet like Mason Jr. who rarely played, but he's a guy that will be on the court most of the time. That is an asset that we did not have last year.
