I’m a little bitter about Iguodala wanting more money from the Sixers.  Personally, I think he got a very fair and generous offer.  Just because Iggy is the best player on a poor team doesn’t mean that he should get max contract kind of money.  Currently, Iguodala is averaging 19.4 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 4.6 APG, which is pretty much on par with his numbers from the 2006-2007 season.  If Iguodala wants to get paid this offseason, he better have more games like one he had against the Bobcats: 33 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks.  Sixers won 103-96.  Here are highlights from the entire game.

Check out this sick windmill dunk:

Thaddeus Young’s minutes have been increasing lately and he he has played quite well.  In his last 5 games, Young has averaged 21.8 minutes, 10.2 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 1.4 SPG.  Young has mostly been used to play defense and rebound, but now Cheeks and the rest team are encouraging him to take more shots.  Here is what Cheeks had to say about the play of Thaddeus Young:

He rebounds, he scores, he opportunity scores.  We don’t really run a lot of plays for him, and he doesn’t know a lot of things. Just the way he plays keeps him on the court.  Progress  comes incrementally.  I looked [at film of] a play in Denver where somebody ran at him.  He pump-faked [allowing the defender to run past him], stepped inside, then stepped back and shot a three. Before, he wouldn’t have done that.
