Since Andre Iguodala was traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Memphis Grizzlies over the summer, the Houston Rockets have shown heavy interest in acquiring the services of the swingman who’s been a long-time thorn in their side.
In a recent article from CBS Sports, Sam Quinn explained why Nene’s contract could be beneficial towards acquiring Iggy. In a potential trade, Nene’s contract will take up $10 million in cap space, but the Rockets, or any other team, will not necessarily have to pay Nene that amount. The inflation that Nene’s contract has against the cap has to do with the “likely incentives” that the Rockets have cleverly put in his contract.
