Kevon Looney, a pivotal figure in the Golden State Warriors' dynasty, has officially signed with the New Orleans Pelicans on a two-year, $16 million deal. This move marks a significant departure from the Warriors after a decade-long journey that included three championships alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. In a heartfelt farewell, Looney reminisced about the brotherly bond formed with Curry and Green, emphasizing their guidance throughout his career.

During his tenure with Golden State, Looney established himself as a reliable center, particularly during the Warriors' championship run in 2021-22. He played all 164 possible games over the last two seasons, showcasing his durability and consistent performance. Despite facing challenges of being undersized, Looney’s ability to contribute significantly on the boards and as a defensive asset won him a critical role in the team. With his move to the Pelicans, he now seeks to replicate that success in a new environment.
