NBA Trade Rumors 2013: Atlanta Hawks Want To Sign Andre Igoudala; Miami Heat's LeBron James Finds No.1 Defender in Iggy

Incoming free-agent small forward Andre Igoudala had nothing but praise and admiration to now two-time NBA champion LeBron James, advising the haters of the Miami Heat star to get a life coach.

Igoudala, dubbed as "Baby Lebron" for his steady contribution across different statistical categories, showed his love for the four-time MVP by posting a clear message intended to LBJ's  'haters' on his Twitter account.

"If you still hate Lebron you really need a life coach... And I'll sponsor you...," tweeted Igoudala, who was one of LeBron's teammates in the U.S men's basketball team at the 2012 London Games.

Iggy had been sending multiple tweets throughout the final game of the championship series between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night at American Airlines Arena.

Igoudala apparently admired the mental toughness of James to knock down clutch shot after clutch shot in the winding minutes of Game 7.

On the other hand, the 29-year old baller might be forgetting that he's going to be a free-agent this season. The Atlanta Hawks, a rival of the Heat in the Southeast Division, have already shown interest in signing Iguodala to a max contract if they are unable to bring Dwight Howard back to his hometown of Atlanta.

Meanwhile, Denver Nuggets CEO Josh Kroenke assured they will be able to re-sign the versatile wing player. Kroenke insisted that signing Igoudala is the team's top priority this offseason.

''I think 100 percent,'' Kroenke told NBA insider Neil Reid of the Associated Press. ''I had a good conversation with his agent last week. Andre is somebody we definitely want to bring back, and Andre is aware of our intentions to bring him back as well.''

The Nuggets got Igoudala from the Philadelphia 76ers following a four-team blockbuster trade that also involved Andrew Bynum and Dwight Howard last season.
