The only way Memphis gets better than the Golden State 2nd round pick for Iggy is if they agree to take long term salary back, and they wont want to do that imho.
I don't see the Clippers going after him because they owe almost all of their trade capital to OKC, and they aren't going to want to trade anyone out of their current rotation. They might look to add him as a free agent if Memphis buys him out.
Lakers have one viable trade piece, Kuzma. I could definite see them putting him on the block for their "final piece" trade, because he's not a good fit with LeBron and Davis and he's currently just playing around 23 minutes a game. They need shooting and wing defense, but if I'm the Lakers I'm not blowing my Kuzma chip on Iggy. I'm using the Kuzma chip to try to land RoCo or Bogdanovic from the Kings.
Denver owes their 2020 first round pick to OKC. They can't offer a 1st round pick until 2022.
I really have no concerns about Iggy refusing to show up for Memphis. They don't even value him as a player who can help win them games, they just look at him as a piece of meat to put on market. He's at a point in his career where he doesn't have to risk injury for a paycheck in that kind of situation.
As to what Iggy provides Dallas ... championship experience for a team that can contend for a title and 15 minutes a night on Kawhi/Paul George in a playoff series. Where else are they getting that from? I'd love to get RoCo, but I don't see it happening.
