Re: Warriors Expect Andre Iguodala To Play One More Season

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Golden State Warriors expect Andre Iguodala to return for one more season in 2022-23. Iguodala intends to announce his decision on his podcast with Evan Turner in the next week or so.

Iguodala played 19.4 minutes per game over 31 regular season games last season. The veteran forward averaged 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his 18th season.

The Warriors prize Iguodala for his veteran leadership. Despite battling injuries last season, Iguodala's presence helped Golden State through some rough patches during the season, including in the playoffs.

Andre still has the IQ and the hands but his body doesn't have much left, if he returns he'll primarily be a quasi-coach/mentor for the Warriors bench and young dudes(Wiseman/Kuminga/Poole/Moody).

If he retires he may get an coaching/developmental offer from the Dubs.

I guess Andre's in his mini-Haslem state. Really good influence on the team anyway.

Not much of a story here. Andre said he’ll announce it on his show, and Kerr said he hasn’t heard yet. So I doubt some anonymous staffer has any inside information.

So saying “Warriors expect” probably means some guy saying “I don’t know but if had to bet”.
