That'll help land a free agent. I remember when Iguodola signed with Golden State, he talked about the excitement from the crowds. He was the missing piece for them.

Igoudala signed with Warriors because two of his closest friends were best Warriors player and Warriors head coach.
Whole Nuggets- Warriors series before free agency is one of dirtiest sports stories . Mainly because of Igoudala himself.
He still goes on podcasts and sell bulls*** how Curry was "trashtalking" to him, where ex Nuggets players and coaches said he was out there going to dinners with Jackson ,Green; Curry after games. Just straight up mole.
Iggy was attracted to $50M , big, booming market, better team, more sucess and ..two close friends.
Fact that Igoudala still holds grudge against whole nba in Jackson's case, 8 years later says a lot about their personal relationship.
He also had way better offers.

on West alone, Kings and Jazz have/had louder fans.
He turned down Kings better offer.
So it's not loud fans that he cared the most. He had his reasons... probably prefered Jackson & Curry who he was close to over other alternatives. Especially after he *probably* snitched on previous team to help Warriors advance.
