The Memphis Grizzlies have decided against buying out 3-time champion and future Hall of Famer Andre Iguodala, which significantly hinders the Rockets’ ability to acquire him, if the Grizzlies stand firm on that decision. But it begs to question, do the Rockets really need Iguodala to win the title this year?
Although he surely can still produce even at age 36, the obvious reality is the fact that his basketball life is on the decline. For starters, he’s shooting 30.7% from three for the last 2 years combined and has had his minutes decline in each of the last 6 seasons.
