3:08pm: The Sixers had been scheduled to meet with Iguodala later today, but it will be scrapped along with the rest on his list, tweets ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
2:58pm: The Warriors aren’t sure what it means that Iguodala canceled his remaining meetings, according to Sam Amick of USA Today, who reports (via Twitter) that there’s a sense in Golden State that the veteran free agent may circle back to them with his offer from the Rockets.
2:48pm: Andre Iguodala has canceled his remaining free agent meetings, league sources tell Shams Charania of The Vertical (Twitter link). While Charania’s report doesn’t provide any additional details, it sounds as if the veteran swingman may be nearing a decision.
Iguodala was reportedly planning to meet the Spurs, Kings, Rockets, and possibly the Lakers and other teams in free agency. The sit-downs with San Antonio, Sacramento and Houston took place, but it appears those were the only teams Iguodala met.
Reports leading up to free agency, and since the free agent period began, have suggested that many people around the NBA still expect Iguodala and the Warriors to work out a new deal to keep the standout sixth man in Golden State. The two sides didn’t have a formal meeting today, but that won’t preclude a potential agreement, since they know where they stand.
It’s worth noting that this news comes shortly after Iguodala’s meeting with the Rockets, and Houston reportedly made him a contract offer. As I noted earlier, the Rockets’ current cap situation isn’t conducive to a competitive offer for Iguodala. However, if the team has a plan to dump Ryan Anderson‘s salary, it’s possible Daryl Morey could use a chunk of cap room for an offer to Iguodala or someone else, rather than being limited to the mid-level as an over-the-cap team.
H-town
Don’t leave the bay Iggy
Going to the Spurs
Why? To lose???
If Kawhi Leonard doesn’t get hurt, that series changes completely. I’m not saying the Warriors still wouldn’t have won the series, but I think it goes to at least 6 games, if not 7. And it wouldn’t have shocked me if the Spurs beat the Warriors. Remember, the Spurs were killing the Warriors in Game 1 before Leonard goes down.
Just taking a guess here but I feel he is going to the Rockets which would be a solid pick up for them.
Lol. Clearly staying in GS.
Houston won’t be able to move Anderson and give a competitive offer…
Why not meet with the sixers then? As you planned all along. He got a really nice offer and is giving GS a chance to come near it.
Stay Iggy we love ya man!!!!! No one can beat us your already home buddy.
