No this is not clickbait. There is a very real possibility that if Andre Iguodala does not get it together, he could be done this season and perhaps on the doorsteps of retirement. Here’s how.
Now, Twitter has been having an absolute blast with Ja’s recent likes/posts. Let’s review:
First, reports emerge that Iguodala refuses to play basketball for the Grizzlies if he is not traded. Memphis, honorably, obliges his request.
Then, chaos begins. Ja Morant is initially subtle about his thoughts, but soon people quickly realize this guy is gonna go full nuke.
Personally, I love it. Ja has quickly become the darling of the NBA, and Iguodala is an absolute diva to pull a move like this. You won’t play basketball, the sport you worked your whole life to play, because you’re team isn’t the Monstars from Space Jam anymore? Get outta here.
But what’s the cherry on top? Well, Memphis has reportedly been cooperative, but these messages from Ja might change that soon. The Grizzlies are building around this guy, and they need to be 100% behind him. Rather than trading Iguodala to his preferred destinations, they could do something much more ruthless.
Normally, I’m for the players in these situations. But let’s just say some things are best served cold and after the playoff eligibility deadline.
It would be a real, real, real shame if Iguodala, a player who has contributed absolutely nothing to his current team, was cut in March and sent home to watch the NBA playoffs from his couch. Heaven forbid.
