Iguodala Re-Signs For $80 Million
Hooped Up | August 13, 2008
The Philadelphia 76ers and swingman Andre Iguodala agreed to a six-year, $80 million contract, according to a report by ESPN on Tuesday.
One of the most athletic players in the league, the 24-year-old Iguodala was an unrestricted free agent. If the two sides had failed to come to an agreement on a long-term deal, Iguodala could have signed a qualifying offer and become a unrestricted free agent after the 2008-09 season.
Instead, Philadelphia locked up its best player and has the look of a team that will be a contender in the Eastern Conference for years to come. The Sixers also signed free-agent forward Elton Brand to a five-year deal worth a reported $82 million earlier this offseason.
UPDATE: Hold the phone, this deal is still in the works according to the Philadelphia Daily News

Trackback
The Los Angeles Clippers, who lost unrestricted free agent forward Elton Brand to the 76ers last week, are trying to determine which remaining free agent might best fit their needs. And, according to a rumor circulating through the NBA, it could be the Sixers’ Andre Iguodala. The rumor suggested that the Clippers, via coach Mike Dunleavy, already have had contact with Iguodala, who was in Las Vegas Saturday to watch the Sixers’ summer league team play the Denver Nuggets. The contact, though, supposedly came in the days before that game.
