Earlier today it was believed that the Sacramento Kings were the leaders to sign Denver Nuggets free agent Andre Iguodala. The Kings had an offer on the table of 4-years and $56 million, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski.
At about 11:00 p.m. on July 2nd Iguodala Tweeted out the follow two notes:
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p>WOW!!!!</p>— Andre Iguodala (@andre) <a href=”https://twitter.com/andre/statuses/352290452126441472″>July 3, 2013</a></blockquote>

Iguodala has been known to be a little cryptic on Twitter and then Sam Amick from USA Today Tweeted the following and was followed up by Woj:
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-partner=”tweetdeck”><p>The Kings have pulled their offer for free agent Andre Iguodala & will no longer pursue him, I'm told. Story to come.</p>— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) <a href=”https://twitter.com/sam_amick/statuses/352298885693190145″>July 3, 2013</a></blockquote>

How did the Kings go from being the "favorite" to land the shooting guard to pulling their offer? Only time will tell. Or Amick will …
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-partner=”tweetdeck”><p>Kings wanted answer that Iguodala wasn't ready to give, so they pulled out and moved on. They'll regroup & decide on Tyreke Evans etc.</p>— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) <a href=”https://twitter.com/sam_amick/statuses/352301654755917824″>July 3, 2013</a></blockquote>

Who will be the next top suitor for Iguodala? Will the Nuggets lock up their free agent?
Stay tuned …
