Dallas Mavericks Rumors: Taj Gibson could be an option for the Mavs, interest in Andre Iguodala has cooled and more

#2 A move for Andre Iguodala is unlikely

Andre Iguodala spent six memorable seasons with the Warriors before being traded to the Grizzlies

As one of the few teams in the NBA with enough cap space to take on the final year of Andre Iguodala's $17.1 million contracts, the Mavericks have been frequently mentioned as the most likely destination for the former Warriors man. However, while the Memphis Grizzlies remain desperate to trade the 35-year-old ahead of the deadline, Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that the Mavs are unlikely to make a move for the former All-Star:

The Mavericks are fans of Iguodala and had interest during the summer, league sources say, but the word here in Vegas at the G League Showcase is that Dallas continues to be measured with its trade targets even after its 18-9 start

Iguodala would provide the Mavs with a lockdown defender that could potentially guard LeBron James in the postseason, although the Grizzlies are reportedly looking to receive a first-round pick for the former Sixers man. Additionally, Iguodala has also struggled for fitness over the past 18 months, and reports have suggested that he will rejoin the Warriors next summer.
