Andre Iguodala said Monday the two-year, $30 million contract extension he signed with the Miami Heat in February was a contingency of their acquiring him from the Memphis Grizzlies.

"Both sides knew the window we have—my window and the team's window. We all know about when teams want cap space. It's hard to get acclimated with a group of guys in two months.
