With the recent trade talk surrounding the Sixers, a few scenarios have been presented to fans to chatter about around the water cooler, all involving Andre Iguodala. As seen in the poll on the sidebar, the Sixers have some options that other teams are clearly willing to take. As a Sixers fan, I see that as a problem, when every trade is wanted desperately by the opposition.

Monta Ellis, Chris Kaman, and the Orlando pu-pu platter are certainly not prefect fits for the Sixers. I, personally, would not take one of these trades as they are rumored to be constructed. I value Andre Iguodala much more than the average bear – I tend to think he’s a top 30 NBA player and that none of the trades give us a player near that range.

But if we do trade Iguodala, and that looks to be the case, the number one priority should be to recoup a big, preferably a center. And there are 3 main reasons why.

]]> Though it’s not summer for another 2 weeks or so, I’ve always treated the NBA off-season as the summer – the hot months where NBA basketball doesn’t exist. For the Sixers, it’s been summer since early May, when they were ousted in the first round of the playoffs. The summer could be shorter or longer this year – shorter because the Sixers played into May, longer because the players might still be locked out.

However long this lasts, though, it can’t get more hectic than during this time for the 76ers franchise. The next week may shape their future dramatically, as the team looks to be sold to a group led by Joshua Harris*. The Sixers’ best player for the past 4 years, Andre Iguodala, looks to be on the way out the door. And during a stretch of the summer where I thought I could take off from writing for a little while, the Sixers happen to be the third team in the spotlight, aside from the two Finals teams.

*I’ll have more on the sale stuff either tomorrow or Saturday, talking about the current ownership and whether it’s been any good.

Here’s a little review of what has happened since the end of the season (after the jump):
