Andre Iguodala Jokingly Demands Trade on Twitter

|

With the Golden State Warriors retaining pretty much their entire NBA Finals roster (sans David Lee), it looks like Finals MVP Andre Iguodala will once again be relegated to the bench. It’s not exactly breaking news, but head coach Steve Kerr more or less confirmed Iggy’s role to the San Jose Mercury News:

“I saw him at the postgame party in Cleveland, went up and said, ‘Congrats, MVP, you were incredible, what a job. And you’re going back to the bench next year,'” Kerr said. “And he laughed. And I laughed. Obviously kind of a joke.
“But I don’t anticipate changing anything. We won 67 games with the group that we had. And we’ve got our core back, just about everybody’s back. And more than likely we’ll play it the same way. But you never know how things go. We’ll see. But the good thing is we’re capable of playing a lot of different ways with a lot of different combinations, as we showed throughout the season.”

However, once the paper tweeted out the story, Iggy decided to play with the hearts of Warriors fans by demanding a fake trade:


And, of course, not everyone caught on…

After seeing his notifications explode, Iggy did the smart thing and saved Warriors fans from blowing up their local suicide hotline:


Update: Andre will be “okay” with coming off the bench as long as Kerr can meet his requests.
