Um...what was that?

Tracy McGrady and Yao haven't been out of first round either. So you want to pay them 15$/hr??
What a dumb report!!! That's the market rate for an athletic player, that's what they'll have to pay him, period!! Esp with the Euros making very dangerous moves to attract NBA stars.

luxury tax down the road?

Bulls tickets are overpriced too. I'm sure the same in Philly. What of it? People will turn out, advertisers payup, ownership collects a lot more than 80M/6. it's the way it is. i like Andre. He's not a star, but he's real solid all-around. he also plays hard - good for him - career is short, get paid.

Way too much... great talent, but not 80mil worth, unfortunately, someone else would ahve paid it if they didnt... just the bus right now..prob cuban lol

This gives Philadelphia the opportunity to lock up its core for the forseeable future. This team will be heard from. I think they are the 3rd best team in the East.

You could give him $100 mil and they'd still be crap. Don't get me wrong...I think he's a great player but really...they're way down on the list as far as contenders go.

When there is no one else left on the market the players can somehow demand more money than there worth. This is the same type of money deal that essential Deron Williams and Chris Paul were offered and AI2 is not at that level. I mean come on, but overpaid players is very common.

Laughs................... you wouldnt take the money? Never mind keep forgeting people are so open minded , other then what they push on others.........:/

Well, I'm happy that he's staying with us... We will do well this year... He isn't overpayed... This is a guy who will get better every season... Go 76ers Go!

Yeah they probably did but by making that move for Brand they had no choice but to keep Iguodala happy. The Sixers just made themselves a team that can probably win in 3 seasons.

2.8 mil for last year and 80 mil for the next 6 years = 82.8 mil for 7 years or about 11.8 mil a year for 7 years. Not too much difference from the 57 mil for 5 years deal they offered last year, 57 mil divided by 5 years would have been 11.4 mil .
So all in all not a terribly bad deal for the Sixers

OK, Boston's #1, Cleveland or Detroit at #2. You're saying Philly will be better than either one of them? I don't think so.
