NBA free agency rumors: Andre Iguodala nearly left Warriors for Rockets

If not for a phone call late in the free-agency process, Andre Iguodala may have been wearing a Rockets jersey for the 2017-18 NBA season. The Warriors do-it-all swingman nearly left Golden State to join Houston this summer, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes, who reports Iguodala was "dissatisfied" with Golden State's initial offer. As vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, Iguodala knew he needed to set a good example and maximize his worth, especially after signing a relatively cheap four-year, $48 million deal with the Warriors in 2013.
