On Wednesday night, Iguodala offered his own positive take on the move and expressed clear excitement to get going with his new Miami teammates.

Though Iguodala hasn’t played since the 2018-19 season, the last time he laced up was in the 2019 NBA Finals. He had competed in the four previous NBA Finals series as well and won Finals MVP in 2015.

Though the move on its own is a positive one, the Heat may not be done just yet.

With a few of hours to go before the trade deadline comes and goes, fans can expect Heat team president Pat Riley and the rest of the front office to stay busy on the phone until the final bell rings.

Based on recent reports, the Heat are interested in acquiring Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari.

If they can get that done, they will be even better prepared for what they hope will be a deep playoff push.
