Andre Iguodala had an opportunity to speak with Doug Collins shortly before the lockout.
Iguodala's name has been mentioned in trade discussions.
"We spoke, it was really brief," said Iguodala. "It was about 10 minutes, it wasn’t long: "What we can do to improve, what our plans are going forward. It wasn’t too much. But, I’ve never had a problem with Doug, so we made that clear that we never had issues. So we were good."

At this point, our conversations with the teams have been preliminary but we are continuing to talk and to do our due diligence on each option.”
Young is a restricted free agent.

"I'll play for a team until the lockout is over," said Vucevic. I want to stay in shape and keep getting better. There is a chance I sign with Buducnost from Podgorica. We're in talks now."
Vucevic was then asked if he had received attention from the top teams in Greece, Spain and Russia.
