After months without doing anything, Andre Iguodala will find the floors since he has just been traded. Direction the East conference!
–
Traded from the Warriors to the Grizzlies last summer to make room for Angelo Russell, Andre Iguodala had decided with Memphis that he would not play with them. That was months ago, and it got him into trouble with the kids, Ja Morant in the lead. Since then, the veteran has been quietly waiting for his trade.
Good news for everyone: this day has finally arrived. Iggy has just been traded on the Eastern side, and more specifically at the Heat. He also initials an extension of 2 years and 30 million, a surprise when you know that many saw him take advantage of the free agency this summer to return to California.

The Miami track has been gaining momentum in the past few hours despite the Lakers’ latest attempts to recruit Iguodala, which Chris Haynes reports have “tried everything.” But nothing to do for Los Angeles: impossible to bring the player via trade in the City of Angels. So it’s the Heat that wins, with this extension at stake. A good calculation for a 36 year old player, who will be 38 in two years? The future will tell, but Miami has chosen to bet, while taking care to put a team option on the 2nd year.
Right now, we know that Justise Winslow is making the opposite trip to Memphis. Also note that Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill left the Grizz’s warm-up at the last minute, and are not playing tonight. The article will be updated immediately when more information arrives.
For the time being, this is great news for the Heat, which is among the big pieces of the Eastern conference this season.
The arrival of Iguodala only strengthens the team’s bid to strike a big blow at their conference, especially since Pat Riley is also targeting a certain Danilo Gallinari according to the latest information.
The Heat hits hard in the market. Pat Riley has done his job, and the never-ending Iggy soap opera is finally over.
