Coming off their second NBA title in the last three seasons, the Golden State Warriors have some major decisions to make in free agency concerning a couple of their core players.
The Warriors are expected to work out new long-term deals for both Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, but there is some doubt regarding the future of Andre Iguodala. It had been previously reported that the former NBA Finals MVP was going to re-sign with the team on a deal ranging from $8 to $12 million in base salary, but things have since become quite interesting with the possibility that he will field other offers in the free-agent market.
According to Chris Haynes of ESPN, there are seven teams that will have some significant interest in signing Iguodala to a deal this upcoming summer.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs, L.A. Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets and Utah Jazz are among the teams interested in the 2015 NBA Finals MVP, sources tell ESPN.
At this point, it's unclear about which teams Iguodala will take seriously as possible landing spots. However, there are some intriguing destinations for him to play the next chapter of his career with. The San Antonio Spurs standout as the situation that would provide him the best chance to win now aside from Golden State. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves could develop into something special with the addition of Jimmy Butler during the draft last week.
That said, the Los Angeles Clippers may have too much uncertainty surrounding their core group in free agency to convince Iguodala to take them seriously. As for the other teams on the list, it could all just be a money grab in order to persuade Iguodala to sign with them.
All of this may set the stage for an interesting pursuit of Iguodala for the Warriors with much more competition and complexity than originally anticipated.
