#9. Andre Iguodala, Golden State Warriors

4 years/$48M (2012-2013: $14.7M)

Age: 29 (2017-2018: 33)

Peers: Hedo Turkoglu, Kris Humphries, Al Horford, David West

Role: Starting Wing/Backup Point Guard

2012-2013 Statistics: 80 games, 34.7 mpg, 15.1 ppg (45.1%/31.7%/57.4%), 5.3 rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.7 bpg

Rationale: Iguodala actually took a lesser offer to join the Warriors, and he actually contributes something they desperately need: lockdown perimeter defense. An unselfish athlete with good size and adequate handles, Iguodala is passed his prime physically and a streaky shooter at best. A slower, less bouncy Iguodala can definitely compensate for the departed Jarrett Jack, but is he worth twice as much?
