We needed a veteran big badly, and he’s about as dependable as they come. Surprised to see almost 3-1 assist to turnover ratio for his career.

Doesn’t need it. Zion has like led the league in half court paint scoring with Steven Adams in there. :rofl: It would be nice to have a real floor spacer, but they’re really in short order right now.

Solid, short deal too.

Is David Griffin still running the show there? These moves have been awful for them

Going to get Draymond Green summer workout videos of him just rebounding. Best they can do.

Love Looney. Wish we could have re-signed him on the cheap, but glad he got some decent money.

Not sure how Looney fits outside of the GSW system, but we'll see.

I haven't watched Looney in a while. But isn't this a decent signing?

It’s honestly a little high. He’s a great human and amazing in the lockeroom but he’s not adding much on the court outside of amazing rebounding, switch ability on defense and good screening. He will always be ready to play regardless of the last time he played.

I mean it's not a bad signing for New Orleans but he doesn't exactly move the needle.
