For a while it felt like an Andre Iguodala return to the Golden State Warriors was inevitable. The Warriors sent him to the Memphis Grizzlies during the offseason, to clear the necessary cap space to execute a sign-and-trade for D’Angelo Russell.
Iguodala, you’re likely familiar with, never suited up for the Grizzlies. He never had any intention to. He stayed away from the team, awaiting a trade.
And where did he stay? In the Bay Area, where he kept his home, where his kids stayed in the schools they’ve been enrolled in over the past few years, and where his Silicon Valley investments reside.
