3 NBA champion Warriors who won’t be back next season
By Ian Levy
1. This may have been it for Andre Iguodala
Iguodala is 38 and finished a season where he shot a career-low 38.0 percent from the field and 23.0 percent from beyond the arc. His superb defense has been eroded as his athleticism has waned and a variety of injuries have hampered him over the past few seasons. To top it all off, the Warriors were outscored by an average of 9.7 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor during the playoffs and he was rendered largely unplayable in the Finals against the Celtics.
Iguodala hasn’t been completely clear about his retirement plans but he’s certainly hinted that his current contract would be his last. As an unrestricted free agent, with a fourth ring, this may be the perfect time for him to walk away on his own terms. He’ll go down as one of the most celebrated players in franchise history but this is probably the end of the road for him with the Warriors.
