Q: Why would the Grizzlies buy Andre Iguodala out? The Grizzlies don’t need to be helping a Western Conference team get a savvy veteran for cheap, either. Trying to trade Iguodala, no matter how long it took, always made tons of sense for the Grizzlies. Memphis has been adamant that it will trade Iguodala before Thursday’s deadline or keep him for the rest of the season — and you can understand, for leverage reasons, why they have broadcast that position for months. Iguodala is catching tons of flak now for his anti-Memphis stance, largely because the 25-25 Grizzlies have so rampantly exceeded expectations.
