Rockets Reportedly Had Multiple Trade 'Scenarios' for Andre Iguodala Turned Down By Grizzlies
Andre Iguodala was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies this past offseason and has not appeared in a single game with the team. He is still getting paid, though, and is finally eligible to be traded along with every player who joined a new team this year.
Iguodala should be fresh and ready to play. That has the Houston Rockets interested and doing whatever it takes to try to get a deal done, but unfortunately they've been rebuffed in their efforts.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Rockets have tried various trade scenarios in order to work out a deal for the veteran, but the Grizzlies have continued to turn them down.
The Rockets are actually contenders in the Western Conference, thanks to the unbelievable play of James Harden. Adding Iguodala may not put the team on par with the likes of the Lakers and Clippers, but it will certainly bring them closer. Iggy has a plethora of playoff experience and would be a key defensive addition to a Rockets team allowing nearly 115 points per game.
Memphis is convinced a trade will be made, but it doesn't seem likely that the Rockets will be involved. For the sake of NBA fans, let's hope that is the case so we can all see Iguodala play in what could be his final season.
