"Now, it's a done deal.
A league source has confirmed that Andre Iguodala and the 76ers agreed today in principle to a six-year deal worth $80 million.
In addition to the base salary, Iguodala, 24, could earn up to $5 million more in bonuses, and the sixth year of the contract is a player option.
Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski had no comment on the deal, which should be finalized sometime early next week.
Stefanski said repeatedly in the last five weeks that re-signing Iguodala was a "priority."
Making Iguodala a "priority" translated into a contract worth nearly as much as the blockbuster deal two-time All-Star power forward Elton Brand signed with the team in early July for approximately $82 million.
Last year, Iguodala rejected a five-year, $57 million contract extension offer from then Sixers GM Billy King in favor of seeing how things played out this summer.
Iguodala, out of Arizona, was the 76ers first-round draft pick (9th overall) in the 2004 NBA draft. Iguodala's scoring average has increased in each of his four NBA seasons: from 9.0 ppg as a rookie to 19.9 last season."
