Leading up to Andre Iguodala being traded by the Golden State Warriors to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday evening, the 2015 NBA Finals MVP hinted at being dealt four times on Twitter.
Iguodala led it off with this tweet nearly four hours before free agency began:
Ever been so tired you don’t know where you goin next???

Then, Iguodala referenced the meme with Magic Johnson shaking his head, but also could have been about the Orland Magic:
I need that Magic meme…

Closer to the trade going through, it appears Iguodala knew what was happening. This one is a bit more obscure, though fans hypothesized that Iguodala was referring to the Milwaukee Bucks — the home of Giannis Antetokounmpo, known as the Greek Freak:

Finally, just moments before the trade was reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, Iguodala shared this (and also seemed to hint at going to the New York Knicks):
That was a fun plane ride. Awesome puzzle I put together… been working on it since Tuesday. Got it just in the Knick of time…

The Grizzlies will be the 35-year-0ld's fourth team in his career. The former NBA Finals MVP has spent time with the Philadelphia 76ers (the team which selected him as the ninth overall pick in 2004), the Denver Nuggets, and the Warriors, where he won three titles in his six-year stint.
Iguodala will join the rebuilding Grizzlies squad which features the likes of Jaren Jackson Jr., Jonas Valaciunas, Ja Morant, and Justin Holiday, among others.
