After spending six years and winning four championships with the Golden State Warriors, Andre Iguodala got a change in scenery. He was traded to the Miami Heat where he rode the bench for the majority of the season.
After the season was over, the Heat did not exercise their option on Iguodala?s contract leading him back to the Warriors. However, during his one-year stint with the Heat, Iguodala certainly formed friendships and bonds with players on the Heat roster.
One of them was the 6?5 shooting guard, Max Strus. However, after his call went unanswered, Iguodala decided to bring in Strus? latest contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers into the friendly taunt.

Max Strus signed a four-year $64 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. It is safe to assume that Iguodala must?ve called to congratulate him on his grind and hard work finally paying off.
But when Iguodala?s Facetime call went unanswered, he decided to take a screenshot of the call and post it on his Instagram stories. Iguodala captioned the image, ?See how money change people???
Max Strus’ grind paid off
Max Strus started off his NBA career after going undrafted in the 2019 season. He was then signed by the Boston Celtics that went on to waive him in no time. Strus made his way to the Chicago Bulls roster but eventually ended up suffering an injury.
