Yes many players hate 20 plus years of excellence. You can tell the nba is a place full of college dropouts. Not many brain cells in the league
Bump..
Well I'm glad he took a pass on us (Rockets probably feel the same). Warriors may have handed out their first loyalty contract here. Iggy has looked washed up this season and still on books for 16 millions in 2019 and 2020.
You shouldn't be making that kind of money at age 34 while averaging 5/3/3..
I try to be wrong sometimes, but it's hard for me.
Statistically he's have his worst year since his rookie year. Hopefully his decline continues to be rapid.
Agreed but I think they overpaid him mainly because they viewed him as insurance against Lebron and Kawhi. He's the only guy they have on their team that can defend either but yeah it was a bad decision by them.
Honestly Durant has overtaken him as their best wing defender. Going to look like an ugly overpay in Year 2 and 3..
Not sure, this seems like an easy callSpurs and Rockets were pursuing him probably out of spite-- to weaken Golden State more so than strengthen their teams..
yup... I noticed he's washed up you know what?
Kyle age 24 is ranked 7th this season in RPM in the SF category which he has played all season and against starter compe ion. There is no saying he statpads in garbage time bc dude just doesn't play garbage time anymore like that. Kyle's playing in a depleted team with only a single all star. They have lacked quality playmakers/guards too.
Iguodala, age 34 averaging 5/3/3 playing in a stacked mothe er of a team, playing a good amount of time against reserves and getting it really easy with that team... has ranked 43 in SF this year in RPM... see for yourself. http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/r...RPM/position/5
that was their own albatross and loyalty contract.
Can Iguodala defend Kawhi? this would be news to me, Kawhi always seems to do what he wants against any defender in gsw
He can't stop Kawhi or Lebron but in the past he gave the Warriors their best defensive option against those guys.
Care to amend your statement?
fairCare to amend your statement?
But was what Zaza did to kl be considered "defended"?Care to amend your statement?
First big mistake this Warriors team has made. They should of let him walked, developed McCaw while giving him more minutes. Plus they have to pay Green and Thompson new Cba money like Curry and Durant when there contracts are up. Solid small moves in getting Young and Caspi.
Watched Warriors Knicks game last night and Michael Beasley ate Iggy’s lunch. Routinely beat him offf the dribble with ease. Scored at will when matched up with him.
Yeah, like someone said here..This is perhaps first major mistake from Warriors PO in the last half decade.
Saw this on twitter..The Rockets should be really happy he turned them down and instead got better contribution from Mbah Mboute for the minimum..
i'd still trust iggy in a bit spot in the playoffs, tho
Bump.
In hindsight, it looks like it was a good idea to go after him. Plenty in the tank defensively. Glue guy offensively. Impacts games without needing the ball.
As well as Gay has recovered from his achilles tear and as well as his transition to efficient role player has gone, Iguodala is better if your goal is to win playoff games, tbh.
He was never leaving Golden State though. Would have been the ideal vet to have and not Faux Mills.
I really wanted Iggy back in the day the year before GS originally traded for him. They had Jack's expiring contract and everything. It would have involved letting Manu walk, and obviously 2014 wouldn't have been the same without him. It would have also made it much harder to fit Aldridge into the roster during the summer of 2015, but I think the Spurs would have repeated in 2013 and 2014, and they'd have a good chance in 2015 too given that Iggy would never have been a Warrior.
Parker, Neal, Joseph
Green, Ginobili, Mills
Leonard, Iguodala, De Colo
Duncan, Diaw, Blair
Splitter, Baynes, Bonner
Damned good roster. The passing potential for that second unit would have been insane. Seeing as the Spurs ended up pissing away their first on LJC that year and Milutinov in 2015, even adding two firsts to Jack's deal would have been worth it in hindsight.
I see Derrick White potentially as a prime Iguodala type player-- I don't think he'll ever have a single eye-popping stat, but he could be a 15/5/5 type of guy who plays good D, has a high BBIQ, and is a complete glue player. There's no team that can't use guys like that, and if you have a few, you're in really good shape.

Incredible playoff guy. The longer his twilight yrs run the less we hear from those complaining about the FMVP tbh...
Plus they’re going to have to pay Klaymond the max to keep him tbh.
It's funny how just slowing playoff LeBron down in his prime led to two guys getting FMVPs. He probably should've gotten both of those-- like Jerry West, despite losing-- but conventional wisdom wants to award the winning team with the MVP.
He looks Robert Horry esque in the fact that he knows how to turn it on in the playoffs (my ONLY comparison of the two). He definitely underwhelms in the regular season but when the playoff lights come on, he’s a whole different animal
The Warriors are better off with Iggy than Cousins in this championship run, I mean cake walk.
