Goodbye Golden State! Looney joins the Pelicans for 16 million in 2 years, and his ten-year Warriors career is over

At 6:00 am on July 1, Beijing, the door to the NBA trading market officially opened! On this extraordinary day, Warriors fans can be said to be heartbroken. Because I never expected that Kevin Looney, who has been playing hard for the Warriors, would announce the change of the camp on this day and open a new chapter in his career!

According to Shams, a well-known ESPN reporter, league sources revealed that three-time champion center Kevin Looney joined the New Orleans Pelicans for two years and $16 million. In this way, this completely announces that the three-time champion center has officially ended his 10-year Warriors career. In the new season, we will no longer see Grandpa Lu’s familiar figure wearing the Warriors’ robe and partnering with Curry and chasing his dreams to compete in the NBA! And this farewell may be forever!

At the 2015 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Kevin Looney, who was only 19 years old, 2.06 meters tall, 113 kg, 2.22 meters wingspan, and 2.79 meters tall with the 30th pick in the first round. At this point, Kevin Looney officially started his NBA career in Golden State. In the blink of an eye, Kevin Looney has played for the Warriors for a full 10 seasons, which makes people sigh that time flies! In the past 10 years, Luni, who has worked hard and worked hard, has been deeply loved by Warriors fans, so he is named "Grandpa Lu".

In the past ten years of playing for the Warriors, Looney has reached the Finals with Curry and Zhu Meng five times and won the NBA championship three times! So far in his career, Looney has played a total of 599 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 57.5%, and free throw percentage of 60.8%. He played in 89 playoff games, and averaged 5.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 61.2%, and free throw percentage of 59.6%.

With Looney joining the Pelicans for 16 million in two years and embarking on a new journey of his career, he also officially said goodbye to his old partners Curry, Zhu Meng and the Golden State Warriors! For Grandpa Lu’s departure, I believe that most Warriors fans are endless reluctance and full of blessings! May Grandpa Lu be smooth and happy in the Pelicans! No matter where you play in the future, please remember that the Golden State Warriors will always be your home! Goodbye, Kevin Looney! May you make great achievements in the Pelicans!
