Brand is an expiring contract.
Igoudala is basically an expiring contract because he has an opt out clause after this upcoming season.
Also Igoudala just sold his house and Philly drafted Moe Harkless.
Amare is locked up for 3 more seasons. This a no brainer for Philly. Chris Paul and Dwight Howard are not coming to Philly.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom custom-built home was completed for Iguodala in 2008. He sold it for a bargain. Comparable listings in the area average approximately $1.6 million, which was the Iguodala’s original asking price for the property. Maybe he just wants to travel lighter, or live in town, or downsize from a property that cost him $28,000 in taxes in 2011. In any case, Iguodala is divesting himself of his Philadelphia holdings and that could be a strong indication he doesn’t expect to be around much longer.The Sixers drafted Harkless, a small forward from St. John’s, who not only plays the same position as Iguodala, but he has very similar attributes – quick to the rim, a decent handle on the ball, not much outside shooting.
It’s true that Harkless is young, just 19 years old, and will probably not transition into the regular playing rotation right away. It’s also true, however, that the Sixers are toying with the idea of giving Evan Turner more minutes at the wing position, something that will open up space for the drop-dead perimeter shooter the team hopes to acquire either through free agency or trade.
And if someone arrives in trade, someone has to leave. We won’t know the identity of that someone until it happens. But someone just sold a house.

So the universe of basketball players are limited to Chris Paul, Dhoward and Amare? Good reasoning as usual.
I honestly think Iguodala would play better defense at the 4 than Amare does. Melo could play the 4 at the offensive end
I think Iggy fits better if you move Melo for him instead of Amare and I am not full of Melo hate. I think that might be a better mix on the court but I doubt it will happen.
Why anybody in his right mind will trade healthy 2-way player in his prime for unisured old one-dimensional dude?
May be Dolan... but wait... he already did.
