Looney Leaves Warriors for Pelicans… WHY?
He won three rings with the Warriors and now he’s walking away. But why New Orleans? Kievon Looney just signed a two-year $16 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. After 10 years, three rings, and countless screens set for Steph and Clay, Looney is moving on. So why New Orleans? Because the Pelicans need veteran toughness. Their young front court led by Zion and rookies like Eve Missy lacks experience. And Looney brings exactly that. He’s not flashy, but he’s reliable. Just two years ago, he grabbed 22 rebounds in a playoff game and averaged 10 plus boards a night in the 2023 postseason. Now, he reunites with coach Willie Green and joins a squad that’s one piece away from being dangerous. Was Golden State wrong to let him go? And will Looney be the glue guy New Orleans needs to make a deep playoff run? Drop your thoughts in the comments and smash that subscribe button for more NBA stories that matter.

They didn't want to pay him
The thumbnail looks like a still from Waynes World.
Sorry but New Orleans are not "one piece away from being dangerous" 😂😂😂
Steve Kerr is still there for next season I just hope Steph don't get injured the whole next season because it will be the end of us again because we got no Coach ,Can we sign Mike Brown back Please…
Great job triple champ. Stay studdly.
Looney is an underrated player really good pick up and he can be a starter or come off the bench. The guys are total team player.
Because New Orleans is the only team dumb enough to pay him
Time to lead? He is great but only plays so many minutes now
Dumbleavey sucks
To obviously getta away from tha gay ass city of San Francisco
Love Looney.
I like Loomey as a person but he is not good. He can't shoot nor score. He can get rebounds and is a decent defender.
Kevon gone be miss but if pelican gone used him i rather him get good playing time there then sitting around here
Looney left because of Stevie Kerr!! Kerr is a players demise!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looney to the Pelicans is an excellent move. He will improve that locker room 100%. I absolutely love this! Go Pels!🏀
As a warriors fan looney lucky to be in the league
Pelicans are tanking!!!
They being Warriors Management, was wrong in letting Looney, go. He deserved more money and $16 M, got him? Where is the respect? Just like Thompson, they show him no respect! Steph, need to ask to be traded.
Golden State didn’t let him go. He got the fuck away from Golden State.
Looney poole back tg lets goooooooooooo9
Hope Looney will be back to play with the warriors next year just like iggy please
