To add on to ^^, I would like a proven veteran who has skills & Iguodala fits the bill.
As I said before, I would have liked Rudy Gay, but that doesn't seem realistic at all now. Iguodala is a great defensive player. A lot of posters have argued that his win share metrics are up there in the top 10 (maybe even higher), it is because his defensive win shares are immense.
I have compared his stats with other potential small forward targets the Raptors could have/could still go for, and he simply has the best impact +/- among all of them, a list that includes Gay, Batum, Kirilenko, Granger, Fields, Barnes and Ariza. (don't ask why I had Ariza in there).
Iguodala, for me, is a mini-LeBron. Why not have someone like that. He's unselfish enough that he wouldn't have to worry about carrying the offense. We have scorers for that & yes, I consider Bargnani, DeRozan and Lowry as scorers. He can defend, be a secondary ball-handler, get to the rim, etc. He is an all-star at the end of the day.
