Who's going to rebound for the Warriors? Ayton?

New Orleans is such a strange team. I just can't figure out their game plan. Let their guards shoot and try to get the rebounds?

Man this is a huge bummer, hoped Loon would be a Warrior lifer.

I am sad.

They freed up like $7M in that Poole/CJ swap. This signing and their picks will have them right at the tax. So on the surface, it seems like they took on the 2nd year of Poole in part to create the cap room to sign Looney to a 2 year deal instead of Olynyk. IMO, add that to the list of evidence that Dumars is awful.

With Looney, the problem isn't rebounding. The problem is Zion has no lane to drive with Looney.

Same here. Does Dunleavy have something up his sleeve?

Everyone scared of the 2nd apron plus the cap jump next season is smaller than expected.

Just like the rest of the world, the middle class is getting hollowed out.

I kinda thought he would be a single franchise guy his whole career but excited to see his next chapter in NOLA

Great signing. Pels needed more big depth and he'll be able to give decent results for 15-20 min a game.

Love Looney....such a classy guy and I wish him nothing but good luck!

Poole and Loon both grew up in Milwaukee and were close on the Warriors.
