3. Andre Iguodala’s Warriors run comes to an end

Andre Iguodala played in just eight games for Golden State last season, but his contract expires after the season and he likely won’t be retained. 2023-24 would be Iguodala’s age-40 season, so it would be surprised to see him sign on elsewhere unless in a Udonis Haslam-like role, or as an assistant coach.

Blue Man Hoop’s Peter O’Keefe thinks Iguodala’s best days in Golden State are behind him:

"“Iguodala showed little capacity to make a meaningful on-court impact this season, but you’d suggest that things couldn’t go much worse from an injury perspective. Additionally, his experience and knowledge are invaluable to the Warriors’ younger players, and he deserves to leave on his own terms at a franchise where he’s had so much impact. Golden State could afford to have him back for a 20th season, but only if they make the absolute most of their remaining roster spots.”"

Retaining Iguodala should be the next regime’s last priority. As important as team culture is, Steph Curry carries that torch, along with the rest of the big three. Iggy provides little actual value at this point in his career. Plus, Iguodala ensured Curry this would be his final season when he came back to begin with.

In recent weeks, however, Iguodala has seemed open to a return, if approached. This rollercoaster may never end.
