MIAMI—In deciding whether to pursue a trade for Andre Iguodala, the Miami Heat went all-in on research. “He’s elite,” Heat president Pat Riley said. “He’s an elite defender, an elite team defender, elite assist-to-turnover percentage, he ranks up into the top of those areas that are real tangible,” Riley said. Iguodala last played an NBA game in June, when he scored 22 points in the last game of last season’s NBA Finals. The Heat got some cap room in this trade as well, which opens up the buyout market this season.
