NBA Rumors: Lakers, Clippers and Rockets Among Teams Interested in Andre Iguodala
NBA free agency is now two weeks old, and most top available players are off the market.
The first two weeks of the offseason featured a number of significant trades, the latest being a deal that sent All-Star guard Rusell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for point guard Chris Paul and a set of first round picks and pick swaps. The Thunder are officially in rebuild mode after the Westbrook and Paul George trades, while the Western Conference continues to stack superstars.
In addition to Chris Paul, one notable player who has already been moved once and could be on the move again is Andre Iguodala. The former Warriors sixth man and Finals MVP was traded from Golden State to the Memphis Grizzlies in early July and has a number of teams interested in adding him to their rosters.
