With his career nearing the end, Iguodala appears unlikely to stick around on a rebuilding Memphis roster this season, and Preston Ellis of Bleacher Report believes the Spurs have the pieces to complete a trade.

(Trey) Lyles and (DeMarre) Carroll cannot be moved in this transaction until Dec. 15, but Iguodala likely isn't in a rush to suit up for the first few weeks of the 2019-20 season. Iguodala could help the Spurs get to the playoffs again before head coach Gregg Popovich's inevitable retirement.

Losing Lyles and Carroll wouldn't be too much of a loss for the Spurs, while the addition of Iguodala would be a significant boost. Following an injury-hit regular season, Iguodala excelled during the playoffs, averaging 9.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game.
