I think its just about personality fit. In his interviews he's really a team guy who doesn't like losing. Maybe its just not his personality to want to be 'the man' on a rebuilding team, but rather be a cog in a contending team.

He did take our offer. He took it back to Denver, inflated the numbers and tried to get them to out bid us.

Sure we wanted him. But would you take a few million less to to go San Francisco and be on a playoff team vs Sacramento project?? No brainer for him - no hard feelings here.

Denver offered Andre Iguodala a 4-year, $52M deal -- as well as 5-year scenarios -- before he accepted Warriors deal, sources tell Y!

That's why we pulled the deal.

I don't feel so bad about pulling the deal anymore. He was never coming.

i wouldnt jump to that conclusion.
none of us have any idea what the FO has planned right now.
IF there plan was to make the Tyreke deal and then use the cap space it created to sign Iggy, then yes they might panic a little
BUT if they new Iggy wasnt coming here and they have another plan or something worked out with that cap space, they probably didnt bat an eyelash today at the news of the Iggy signing
Yep, and the front office earned some valuable cred by not allowing the Kings to be used and pulling the offer the minute we learned what was up.

I think is showed HUGE BALLS to do what they did, shows true business acumen.
Vivek Ranadive has true business acumen? You mean the guy who came to US with $50 and now has a billion? Well I'll be damned..

Clearly. Was only pointing it out in rebuttal to those who are saying it was a weak move or that it shows he's "cheap." Simply not the case.

slimy move by Iggy, but I guess that's just business right?
That's why it took him oh so long to make a decision because suddenly someone offered him a contract no other team would offer, which he didn't expect, but no way was he playing in Sac.

oh they're clearing space for Dwight. Getting Iggy is definitely going to entice Dwight to come.
Lakers are not in it. It's between the Warriors and Rockets at this point.

If we didn't have IT 2.0 behind The General, Jarrett Jack just became a FA...
So... ummm... it pains me to even type this but you don't suppose Vivek got a call from his old buddies in Golden State and they politely asked that we not sign away their #1 target for the off-season as a courtesy for them letting us steal Mike Malone? Is that why the contract got pulled?

Not a surprise. It's the best fit for him talent-wise plus they've got Dwight's personal post tutor Hakeem pitching for them.
