He was again a key cog for the Warriors off the bench, with his versatility and excellent defense helping them as they went 16-1 in the playoffs and won the NBA championship. Iguodala was even more vital in Golden State&#8217;s 2015 title run, winning the Finals MVP award.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, Iguodala will continue to provide a steady veteran presence and excellent perimeter defense for Golden State. He&#8217;s also a valuable playmaker, coming off the bench to relieve pressure off the Warriors&#8217; bigger stars. Golden State will need Iguodala to continue his consistent play in order to be the title favorite again in the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n<p>Iguodala is going into his 14th season in the league, during which he\u2019ll be 33 years old. He&#8217;s played his last four seasons for the Warriors. Before that, he spent one season with the Denver Nuggets. The Philadelphia 76ers traded him to Denver in a four-team deal in the summer of 2012. Iguodala spent his first eight seasons in Philadelphia, where he was an All-Star back in the 2011-12 season.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the LWOS 2017 NBA Free Agency Tracker for all of your NBA free agency coverage, and be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lastwordhoops\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow @LastWordHoops<\/a> on Twitter to stay up-to-date with the latest NBA news.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/540021710\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/540021710?et=U7nXEDh8RZ1qd7MWzlBsag&amp;tld=ca&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=bSmQy16MinOSWZz-s-Y537EooaWtUv8petPiZ5fuLZQ=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports, veteran swingman Andre Iguodala agrees to a three-year, $48 million contract to remain with the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":946,"featured_media":7885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,62,3],"tags":[629,65,182,96,297,202],"class_list":["post-7884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-warriors","category-nba","category-news","tag-andre-iguodala","tag-basketball","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-nba","tag-nba-free-agency","tag-nba-news"],"modified_by":"Lior Kozai (Managing Editor)","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/946"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
