The Philadelphia 76ers have re-signed free agent guard Andre Iguodala to a six year, $80 million. Iguodala became a free agent this offseason and made it clear that he would look for a long term contract with a lot of money. He turned down the 76ers offer during the regular season that was worth $57 million. The 76ers were one of few teams that was flexible financially this offseason. They went out and signed Elton Brand, who bolted the Los Angeles Clippers for a $82 million contract. After the 76ers signed Brand, they made it their priority to come to terms with Iguodala. Locking up Iguodala now gives the 76ers a good team going into the 2008-2009 season. Their projected starting lineup includes Andre Miller at point guard, Willie Green at shooting guard, Iguodala at small forward, Brand at power forward, and Samuel Dalembert at the center position. How will the 76ers do next season? Are they legitimate contenders in the Eastern Conference?
