By Nate Friesen
Andre Iguodala, Memphis Grizzlies
LA Clippers receives: Andre Iguodala
Memphis Grizzlies receives: Maurice Harkless, Moritz Wagner and the Detroit Pistons 2021 second-round pick via the Los Angeles Clippers
Washington Wizards receives: Jerome Robinson
A little three-team trade to finish it off.
In order to trade for Andre Iguodala you need to find a team that is A, in championship contention and B, has a player on a large enough expiring contract that isn’t a key part of their rotation. This is incredibly difficult to find. Thus, a third team is almost always needed to facilitate a trade for Iguodala.
This trade appears to work for all parties. The Wizards get another young player in exchange for a guy who isn’t likely apart of their plans. The Grizzlies get an expiring contract in Mo Harkless, a young piece in Mo Wagner and a 2nd round pick which is likely the best they’ll do for Iguodala’s expiring contract.
