The obvious choice could be the Dallas Mavericks (17-8). Luka Doncic has turned them into one of the best teams in the West (although he’ll be sidelined for some time with an ankle injury). Using Courtney Lee as salary ballast along with either draft considerations or one or two of the Mavericks' younger players might entice Memphis.
"Look for Dallas to be active before the trade deadline," an Eastern Conference executive said.
Not only would Iguodala help the Mavericks' 14th-ranked defense, but he’d also serve as a secondary ball-handler to take pressure off Doncic. Plus, acquiring Iguodala would keep him from joining their L.A. rivals.

I think Iguodala would be a mistake. His reputation is from a few years ago and I think he's been in a slow decline for the last few years. I mean this is his 16th season and I feel like, unless it's just Lee and a 2nd, then it's a waste of resources and phone time. Our 3rd and 4th contributors are through rotation, one night it's Curry, one night it's DFS, one night it's THJ, etc. etc. A big contribution comes from guys relaxing in that they are welcome and wanted and have a chance to figure out how to best contribute to a winning team.
I know it's a business and trades are part of the business, but the successful teams don't churn their rosters much during the season. Right now, DAL has a team that can compete (and beat) anybody in the league. I wouldn't want to mess up what is building here to take a flyer on someone who isn't actively playing now.
