Andre Iguodala uses one word to describe his contract negotiations with the
Philadelphia 76ers.
“Slow,” Iguodala said Friday morning when he arrived in Springfield for the
Andre Iguodala and Kevin Gamble Basketball Camp at the University of Illinois
at Springfield.
But there is hope for Iguodala.
“I think we get an offer on Monday,” Iguodala said.
Iguodala, a 2002 Lanphier High School graduate, had the best statistics in
his four NBA seasons this year, averaging 19.9 points per game and helping
the 76ers to the playoffs. His rookie contract expired July 1, and he became
a restricted free agent. Philadelphia has the opportunity to match any offer
made by another team.
Iguodala’s agent, Rob Pelinka, was expected to arrive in Springfield on
Friday and be on hand for today’s Andre Iguodala Celebrity Basketball Game
at TRAC beginning at 3 p.m.
The 76ers made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they signed
free agent Elton Brand to a reported five-year, $82 million deal. Brand, who
began his career with the Chicago Bulls before being traded to the Los
Angeles Clippers, is a two-time all-star who has career averages of 20.3
points and 10.2 rebounds.
Brand will be Philadelphia’s power forward. That means Thaddeus Young,
entering his second NBA season, would have to move to small forward. Iguodala
would then be the shooting guard if he stays with the 76ers.
To that end, Iguodala has spent a lot of time this summer working on his jump
shot. He has shot 33.1 percent from 3-point range during his NBA career.
This is the second straight year Iguodala has had to deal with contract
issues. He and Pelinka had until Oct. 31 of last year to work out a new deal.
When that deadline wasn’t reached, Iguodala played out the final year of his
contract in 2007-08.
“Last year going through it was kind of stressful,” Iguodala said. “So
this year I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve just been working out
every day.”
Iguodala, who has a condominium in Chicago, hasn’t spent a lot of time in
one place. Currently, he’s involved with the U.S. Select Team, which is
training with the U.S. Olympic team in Las Vegas. Because of his contract
situation, Iguodala can’t play in any games, but he has been very involved
in drills, and Iguodala hopes to one day represent the United States in the
Olympics.
But in the meantime . . .
“It’s been kind of a crazy summer,” he said. “I’ve been traveling a lot.
I’ve got to say this. This is the first time that I’ve really had a chance
to relax and have fun.
“I’ve been traveling with my cousin. We’ve just been going everywhere and
enjoying life. The season . . . playing with no contract coming up, it’s
kind of stressful. My family allowed me to go out there and just play without
any stress and they sacrificed a lot for me just to be able to play
stress-free and go out and do my job.”
Iguodala has been from one coast to the other this summer.
“We went everywhere,” he said. “We went to (Las) Vegas twice. We went to
Miami twice, Atlantic City . . . we’ve been in Chicago. We’ve been in L.A.,
got to see one of the finals games and went to a concert. That was fun.
“We’ve been traveling a lot. We’ve just been having fun and at the same I’
m working. I’m up early in the morning working out and then just enjoying
the rest of my day.”
