At the start of the offseason, the Golden State Warriors shipped Andre Iguodala off to the Memphis Grizzlies. It was viewed as a difficult, albeit necessary move. Iguodala had been vital to each of the team’s three championship runs, even winning NBA Finals MVP in 2015.
A former All-Star, Iguodala played an enormous role on the court, in the locker room, and on the road. And now he was being shipped off to the Grizzlies, a young team that won 33 games last year and then promptly traded away their best player.
