Looney has played nine seasons with the Warriors since joining the NBA, during which time he has earned the recognition of the team and fans for his outstanding defense and rebounding ability. He currently has $3 million guaranteed on his contract for next season, while the guaranteed deadline for the remaining $5 million is next Tuesday. Despite certain variables, the Cavs don't seem intent on letting Looney go.
The Cavs are looking to turn Looney's remaining $8 million contract into a fully guaranteed deal to solidify the team's interior strength, sources said. The move also shows the Warriors' trust and value in Looney, believing he remains an important part of the team's future plans.
Nonetheless, the Warriors have retained the possibility of utilizing Looney's salary for offseason trades. This shows that the team's management is actively seeking ways to improve the team's overall strength while maintaining lineup stability.
In the 2023-24 season, Looney averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, although the data is not eye-catching, but his role on the court and contribution to the team can not be ignored. His retention will further enhance the Warriors' interior strength and provide more options and security for the team's future games.
