NBA: Iggy traded to Memphis

Without Klay, Durant, Iggy and soon to be Boogie, the Dubs are now the 2018 Kings

Because having an expiring like that could be really useful for extracting more picks in exchange for taking a longer contract. Memphis still has a salary floor they have to hit due to the rules of the CBA so it doesn't hurt them to take a longer contract in exchange for Iguodala's expiring if they get some assets out of doing so.

Didn't realize there was a floor, that's dumb. I guess, stockpile as many picks as you can. But this isn't the NFL, picks aren't a sure thing, if you can't get a Lebron players are much more valuable than picks.

Memphis is a 15 win team, why would they need that when they're completely rebuilding?

Bruh, don't make me look that up. If I had to guess w/o looking, the Grizz were 35 wins or better.

I'm talking this year, not last year with Best Gasol smarty.

I dunno. They have that one guy was really good his rookie season, not to mention Fathead. I'd say they're good for at least 17 wins.

Fathead is good for -10 wins tbh

GS is in full panic mode. They're having a fire sale over there.

Don't really see how dumping Iguodala to get Russell is a panic move. Any team in the league would have done the same.

Is there any rule against Iggy signing back with GS after he's bought out?

Iggy looked nearly finished in the playoffs. He has 1, maybe 2 seasons left before he's done, and he's definitely not the elite role player he was in 2015 - 2017 anymore.

yes. can’t sign with GS until next summer.

[MultiTroll]

Smart of the Warriors to trade Iggy now-- he'll turn 36 next season-- and replace him with Russell, who is 23 and coming off his best year.

Getting value for sinker.
Concur good move.

Wish Popped and RC could do some of this.

[Millennial_Messiah]

yes. can’t sign with GS until next summer.

what? I thought he could wait 30 days after getting cut and then sign with them.

Is Iggy cooked?

that rule changed like, half a decade ago.

He was talking all that to get out, tbh.

And there won't be any riding pseudo-stars joining for minimum this year.
