Source: Grizzlies agree to deal Iguodala to Heat

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a deal to send Andre Iguodala to the Miami Heat, a league source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Iguodala agreed to the trade, and he has also agreed to a two-year, $30 million extension with Miami, sources said.

Justise Winslow is also part of the package headed to Memphis, sources told Wojnarowski. The forward has played in only 11 games this season because of injuries. He's averaging 11.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4 assists.

In addition, Miami, Memphis and the Oklahoma City Thunder are working on an elaborate three-team deal that would land the Heat both Iguodala and Danilo Gallinari, league sources told Wojnarowski. Talks are ongoing and could extend into Thursday, sources said.

In an interview with The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears on Wednesday night, Iguodala said he will take a physical for the Heat on Friday and will need "a couple of days" before he's ready to play.

Iguodala also said he's "really excited" to be joining the Heat and playing with Jimmy Butler.

Iguodala, 36, hasn't played for the Grizzlies this season. Last summer, the Golden State Warriors sent the veteran swingman -- who is making $17.2 million in the final year of his contract -- and a lightly protected 2024 first-round pick to the rebuilding Grizzlies because Golden State needed to shed his salary to execute a three-team, sign-and-trade deal for All-Star guard D'Angelo Russell.

On Monday, with trade speculation swirling around Iguodala, Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks didn't mince words when asked about the rumors.

"A guy that's on our team doesn't want to be on our team," Brooks said. "I can't wait until we find a way to trade him so we can play him, and I can show him what really Memphis is about."

At least two of Brooks' teammates appeared to agree with the comments.

Star rookie Ja Morant reacted with a shouting emoji on Twitter, and guard De'Anthony Melton posted a shrugging emoji.

Iguodala was a crucial piece of the Warriors' three championships and five consecutive Finals appearances; he is considered one of the league's elite wing defenders and is an excellent passer and threat off the dribble.

He averaged 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists as Golden State's sixth man last regular season. Those averages increased to 9.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists during the playoffs, when Iguodala started the majority of the games.
