The chorus of fans looking to trade Philadelphia 76ers’ swingman Andre Iguodala has become a little less vocal these days.

Those beating the drum for his departure have been a bit more reserved.

Over the past several weeks, Iguodala has transformed his game from one of a scorer to that of an all-around threat; locking down the opposing team’s primary wing player while filling the stat sheet on the offensive end.

His metamorphosis came full circle on Friday night as he had his best game of the season against the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. Iguodala single-handedly orchestrated the Timberwolves’ demise, scoring 22 points, handing out 13 assists and grabbing 10 rebounds in the Sixers’ 111-100 victory.

It was his second triple-double of season, with the other coming on February 16 when he notched 13 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against the Houston Rockets just prior to the All-Star break.

This is the Andre Iguodala that Sixers’ fans have long been clamoring for, the one that they expected at the beginning of the season on the heels of his performance at the FIBA World Championships this summer.

That version of Iguodala was the ultimate jack-of-all-trades: defending, scoring, rebounding, and setting up his teammates whenever the opportunity arose. One of those teammates was Minnesota power forward Kevin Love.
