Happy for Loon. Getting paid way more than what the warriors were willing to offer. He’ll do great for the Pelicans!

Now if we somehow trade JK for jones.

Ultimate pro. Risen to every challenge put in front of him.

Should be plenty more minutes and touches available in NO.

Looney was a beast in 2022 championship run. Glad that his best year got him and the team a trophy.

Man this one is tough, really felt it when I read the announcement. He is a true winner, someone who does all the little things the team needs.

Forever grateful for LoonGod: the consummate professional, team guy, beast rebounder, and owner of 1 Domantas Sabonis.

If you don't recall his killer crossover, relive that moment:

Looney was great for the Dubs. Big thanks for all his hard work and contributions. And he was a beast in 2022. Best of luck to him in NO.

This kinda sucks. Higher salary than I imagine Warriors would have done so great for him. In his prime I would argue he was the best big in the entire league when switched onto fast guards. Incredible anticipation. He needs a statue when he retires.

I still wear this shirt for workouts. Image

Warriors legend. I'll miss him, but I'm happy he got a good deal and reunites with Poole for however long it lasts. Thanks for everything, Loongod!

Never thought Loon would justify the early loyalty GSW showed to him as he worked through his hip issues. 2022 was the payoff. A truly win/win relationship.
