Sixers officially sign Iguodala

We first reported on this last week, but last night the deal became official. The Sixers lock up Iggy for the next 6 years for a cool $80 mil (although according to Sixers.com "terms of the deal have not been released").


So with this deal official, here's how the Sixers roster is shaping up for 2008-09:

PG
Andre Miller
Lou Williams
Royal Ivey

SG
Willie Green
Kareem Rush

SF
Andre Iguodala
Thaddeus Young

PF
Elton Brand
Marreese Speights
Reggie Evans

C
Samuel Dalembert
Jason Smith

With Jason Smith out for the season, the Sixers will look to pick up another contributor off the bench at the center position. Other than that hole, it looks like a pretty solid roster. Things do look a little crowded at the 3, however. I can't imagine Mo not tinkering with rosters a bit to have Thad and Iguodala in the starting lineup together.
Like I said, I'm sure there are a few small moves still to come from Ed Stefanski, but in less than a year at the helm he's done a hell of job compiling a competitive roster. I can't wait to see this squad in action. Do you believe the Sixers season is just a little over 2 months away?
