Andre Iguodala trade exception

This is the one that is truly forgotten about.

The Warriors have a $17.2 million trade exception they can use this offseason. When and for who they use it on will be totally up to the front office, but they have the potential to bring in another top-notch asset.

They were awarded the exception when they sent Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies. The defensive-minded forward eventually found his way to the Miami Heat later.

As NBC Sports Bay Area’s Brian Witt notes, they could also split it up to secure two players that both make around $8.5 million.

With the Golden State Warriors near the hard cap with four max-value contracts on the roster, this exception will be more important than ever. That said, Witt listed Will Barton as a quintessential candidate to use the exception on.
