Iguodala fits in the Boozer TPE and Matthews won't have to be matched. But I think that Sixers would start considering that only if they can at least also get rid of Brand. If it were possible not to include Brand, hurrah but I'd think the Sixers would insist on it. Therefore him and AK.
For next season, the difference in $M figures for Iggy+EB (12.3+16) and for AK+matching Matthews (17.8+4) is $6M. Not a small margin but not many miles apart either. Iggy's contract years remaining are 3 + 1 p-opt. Brand's got 3 more (look at it as 2 years untradable and the last as big tradable expiring).
For the Sixers, they can start letting Turner be a Roy-type point SG people envision him to be (they also have a scoring PG Louis Williams) and could rebuild around him. AK might also actually be useful for them.
Does Brand address our height issue? Not really, although his wingspan's allowed him to play bigger. He'd be overpaid like AK but Brand could be a better backup PF.
Iguodala is capable of becoming a 20ppg scorer, making up for some of the offense lost with Boozer leaving, only through a different spot. Iggy's also an athletic defender and already brings 6+ rebounds and almost 6 assists a game. He could be great alongside Deron.
