Report: Luxury tax a concern for Warriors as it relates to re-signing Iguodala

Share

Andre Iguodala is reportedly ready to see what his value will be on the open market.

He is planning on fielding offers when free agency opens on Friday night at 9pm PT, according to The Vertical's Shams Charania.

When it comes to bringing Iguodala back to Golden State, Joe Lacob and the Warriors are reportedly concerned about the luxury tax moving forward.

With Steph Curry expected to sign a 5-year deal worth around $200 million and Kevin Durant being in line for a massive extension in the next year or so, a large tax bill awaits the Warriors in the near future.

Draymond Green will make $16.4 million, about $17.5 million and over $18.5 million over the next three years respectively.

And Klay Thompson is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2019.

On Wednesday, Draymond Green said the following about Iguodala:

"I’m not going to say, ‘Hey, Andre, somebody’s offering you more money, but don’t take that money.’ He’s a grown man. He’s going to make the decision he wants to make.

"Obviously he knows how bad we want him here. I love playing with him. But I’ve never been one to count someone’s pockets and I won’t start now.”
