Golden State Warriors Acquire Superstar NBA WR In Blockbuster Trade…
The Golden State Warriors have a reputation of keeping past championship cores together, though it now appears likely they will part ways with a starter from the most recent title team.
Tim Kawakami of The Athletic appeared on the Thursday, June 6 edition of the “Warriors Plus Minus” podcast, during which he reported that the Dubs will most likely release center Kevon Looney this offseason.
“I think the likeliest situation is that he’s cut, and he makes $3 million from [the Warriors], and he’s off looking for another spot — and there will be another spot for him in this league,” Kawakami said. “Teams are going to want him, again for a very low number, but they’re going to want him.”
Kawakami mentioned backup roles with both the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets or the rebuilding San Antonio Spurs as potential landing spots for Looney.
