Man I'm telling you guys. So many people here are selling Igoudala short because he's "old." How quickly people forget old Vince Carter bombing a three to beat the Spurs in the playoffs; or Marion and Kidd in 2011.
Guys, teams play to win now. I want to win in the playoffs this year. We can figure out next year, when it's next year. It's not like the entire board won't be posting 80 pages of trade ideas two months before the 2021 trade deadline. It's not like Igoudala's salary is going to be a problem. Mavs aren't giving up even a first round pick. My goodness.
Just look at how Portland is playing now with Ariza? He's an old so called "has been" role player. But he bumped a couple scrubs (Hezonja, Baze) who can't play and now they're winning and looking good doing so. If Portland suddenly goes on a run and makes the playoffs, and Dame goes into beast mode in thr first round, tell me who in Portland is going to cry "oh, but one of our rotation players is so old and won't be here forever..." ??? Nonsense.
Just because a guy is in his mid-thirties doesn't mean he can't play.
Hell, Lebron is 35.
Justin Jackson may be a decent player someday but honestly I think he stinks right now. Igoudala in his rocking chair is a huge upgrade. If the Mavs can land Iggy, and Luka goes bonkers in the playoffs, this team can beat anyone.
