Luckily for them, Iguodala may be available. HoopsWorld's Alex Kennedy adds some insight on the future of Iguodala.
However, if the Sixers are eliminated by the Boston Celtics in Game 7, the general consensus around the league is that they’ll try to trade Iguodala this summer.
It seems kind of silly to me that the outcome of one game is what a franchise would use to determine whether or not they want to keep a player that has played there for eight seasons, but that appears to be what is about to happen.
