Exactly, the only instance in which trading Iguodala for expirings makes sense is if you use him and some combination of the other young assets on the team(Young, Speights, Holiday) to dump Brand's contract as well and completely start over. Moving Dalembert will be much, much easier next year as a serviceable center on an expiring contract, and Philadelphia wouldn't be in position to make a big splash in this summers' free agent market, so making cap room now doesn't do much for them. There's simply more cap space than big name free agents this summer, Philly would be dealing from a position of strength if they waited until July/August when GM's are panicking after striking out in free agency.
