Iguodala had already wrestled with a team trading him unexpectedly. He had spent most of his first eight NBA seasons as the Philadelphia 76ers’ franchise player (2004-12), which coincided with five playoff appearances, an All-Star stint (2012) and a spot on the U.S. Olympic team (2012). But during Team USA’s run at gold, the Sixers dealt Iguodala to Denver as part of a four-team trade. “That was kind of crazy,” Iguodala said. “You’re representing your country and then you get traded by some folks. They say, ‘You’re my guy and you’re my family.’ Then the whole thing went down. It was a sense of disrespect. Not for me personally, but that’s how it can be when a guy is traded.”
