In nine days, the Warriors hold their “media day”, and it is still not known if Andre Iguodala will be there. The four-time NBA champion has still not decided whether or not to extend his career, but his leaders have left him a place in the workforce. At Golden State, we chose to be patient…
” We are coming to an end soon” notes GM Bob Myers. ” I don’t know what he will do, I hope he plays for us. I know you’ve heard Steve (Kerr) comment on this. I really think he is important for our season. We hope he will. But we don’t want to rush it. If we do, he will resist…“.
“He’s one of the few people in the world who can look Curry, Draymond or Klay in the eye”
Its importance goes beyond the field. “Iggy” is a kind of super assistant, the perfect relay between the staff and the players. And not just the younger ones.
” Andre is one of those players… He’s a very respected person, and he has a strong presence. He’s one of the few people in the world who can look Curry, Draymond or Klay in the eye and confront them but also grab a Jordan Poole, Kuminga or Wiseman and talk to them, cheer them on. There’s no one else in the league who can do that for our team“.
“We really want him back”
Iguodala remains a unique player, and we saw him again during the Finals. On short sequences, he was invaluable in defense, but also on the bench to give advice to Andrew Wiggins. One thing is certain, in Golden State, we do not want to see him at the end of the bench.
” We think he can still play and help us in some areas concludes Myers. ” We really want him back. It’s not a question of charity, it’s not a question of saying “yes” to him because he won titles. We flirted with him more than he flirted with us. But we also gave him this opportunity to make the decision for himself because he deserved it too. He’s played in the NBA long enough, he knows what it’s like, he’s played in our franchise. If he wants to come back, we’d love to have him.“
