4. Shaun Livingston

This is going to be one of the most interesting aspects of free agency for the Golden State Warriors. Andre Iguodala is likely going to be getting a major payday after the team gets Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry locked in on their new deals.

That means that the Warriors will have to determine what to do with Shaun Livingston. He is such an important part of the guard rotation, that losing him would be a bit of a blow to a lot of the rotations they like to run. They have his bird rights, but he’s going to generate a ton of interest on the market.

3. Andre Iguodala

The former NBA Finals MVP has been everything and more in his tenure with the Golden State Warriors. Excluding the obvious of the big two getting their deals, he is the most important free agent that the Warriors have.

By virtue of having his bird rights, the team can go over the cap to re-sign him. If he tests the market, he’s going to get some gigantic offers from teams in need of a veteran. That means the Warriors are going to have to pay up to keep him. There isn’t any other option here for the team.
