If Kevon Looney becomes a free agent, should the Kings show interest?

all right as we get into Kavon Looney this is from Evan cery friend of the friend of the station future friend of the show and this is per Tim kawakami Kavon Looney will likely be released by The Warriors to save money on their tax bill only three million of Looney’s 8 million salary is guaranteed until it fully locks on June 24th the Warriors have all these non-g guaranteed deals this has been their their glitch in the system if Looney is released expect plenty of interest you know Chris obviously I was out there in the bay so yeah Kevon Looney and you Sacramento Kings are very familiar with Kavon Looney from a couple years ago and if Looney is released expect plenty of Interest essentially what happened this season is The Warriors are trying to figure out what worked what didn’t it feels like Looney stick has kind of uh run out of rope here in in the bay and you have Trace Jackson Davis who came in and played really well you you didn’t have Draymond then you got Draymond back so the combination of that with these wings with these wings that Kavon Looney is getting switched on he has literally no offensive bag he’s not an a scorer at all he has no offensive moves so I’ve it’s always been incredible to me for the Warriors to run out Draymond and Kavon Looney for as long as they did it seems like that had that road has come to an end Kavon Looney is a great Champion for the Warriors and I guess that there will be some interest if you’re looking for a rebounder that is I would still say fairly above average on defense if he gets the right matchup right on switches I think he is less of an issue than other bigs he can move his feet by the way if you’ve never watched Looney and school before the hip injuries he was supposed to he they said he might have been Kevin Durant and I know it sounds crazy next time you have some free time check out check out his mixa from high school it was incredible to a lesser degree at at UCLA it was incredible the dude was cooking so now Chris I see Kings fans saying Kevon Looney would love to bring him in on a minimum deal I don’t know when Evan Cy says there’ll be plenty of Interest I don’t know if Kevan Looney will get more than a minimum deal right personally I’m not even going to tease anymore I don’t understand why the Kings would want Kevon Looney I don’t really get why and I and I know fans in general just want everybody sure and I don’t know how much Kings fans watched Kevon Looney besides that Series where he grabbed 25 rebounds a game and played out of his mind I don’t know why the Kings would want Kevon Looney I don’t know what that does I think it’s just a you know it’s it’s kind of a well it’s it’s crazy actually as I’m looking at it it’s 28 years old know I was going to say a hard literally was going to suggest he could be this season’s jav McGee you know kind of be the guy who’s been there done that could be more of a you know a vocal presence than actual like helping out but at 28 years old I mean ideally unless you’re you’re paying truly like a vet minimum for him you you’d like to get some sort of production out of him and you know I think I think there could be something there but I mean you you said something in the pre-show of you could just play Alex lenmore too you know I think that might be a better solution because I do think a lot of the things you want from Looney you know is fine Alex Lenn can do alexn is a lob threat as well exactly like Looney’s 68 69 maybe and he has got credit card hops so I I kind of feel like unless you and the Kings could definitely use some rebounding but let’s try and think of when cavon looney would play not where but when he would play he was playing 16 minutes a game for Golden State last year he’s been around any from 13 to 20 minutes for them I can’t see if he’s going to be the one backing up sabonis well is he running the dribble handoffs because you know they I just don’t know really what what he’s going to be out there doing besides rebounding and I mean that’s that’s a great skill for sure but I just feel like um the kings are in a position like Mike Malone said earlier this year you gotta have you got to be able to do more than one thing when you’re out there and if Looney’s one thing is is rebounding and then okay defense I I just think I we can look at other places for guys um who might also be able to to solve our Rim protection problem if cavon Looney was a good rim protector or an elite rim protector this would be a different conversation but I think just bringing in the rebounding it’s not enough for me to to get excited and say no we have to go get cavon Ludy yeah we could but it’s you know yeah I’m not gonna be super excited vet minimum sure we can have the conversation I’m just thinking about the offense right and I do think that there is a little bit of familiarity there the Kings aren’t running exactly what the Warriors are running Kavon Looney is a saon he would yes he would be I don’t have a I don’t have any worries about Kavon Looney understanding offense I think My worry is I think maybe I’m having some flashbacks about how poorly the King shot this season and now putting out someone who at least Alex Len has some like I said some some sort of offensive bag Kev Looney you you go out there and you just don’t have to pay attention to him you know he’s had some he’s 28 but that’s a hard there all 28s aren’t created equal and I would say the same thing about iron feet right you call him Iron Man they they got lead in his shoes exactly so you know here’s a guy who you’re you’re trying to fit into this fit into this roster and he didn’t get I put it to you like this he didn’t get time on the team that you beat right to to go to the next playing game he didn’t get time on a 10 seed that needed a center yeah that needed a center they decided to go with Trace Jackson Davis as the backup to to Draymond and the really he would have got even less time if Draymond wasn’t choking fools out and and and slapping dudes so Kevon Looney whatever his minutes were helicopter SL yeah whatever his minutes were you know you go Mortal Kombat on him whatever Kevon Looney’s were that’s also in part due to Draymond not being there so he would have played even less if Draymond was there more so I think that he was just straight up getting dmps last year wasn’t yeah he was and they started Trace Jackson Davis a couple times too so I think the game as far as how much he can bring to the game I don’t want to say it’s passing by yeah but I think there’s a probably a place for him yeah I don’t know why that would be the Sacramento Kings no he feels like uh Miami you know like he’s that kind of guy or you know I feel like the Blazers always randomly get a ton of like those maybe I’m just thinking of gp2 but like these these Warrior King castoffs right seem for whatever reason to go up north um there’ll be a team maybe he’ll go to the Bucks like he’s from Wisconsin we talked about that yesterday yeah if especially if they lose a guy like Bobby poris not that he does what Bobby poris does but similar frame similar size um you know could maybe fill in there there’s going to be a role for it he’s the three three time Champion too someone will sign him oh someone maybe even Lakers might sign him like I I just don’t know in terms of impact which is when we’re here in Sacramento that’s the thing that we have to worry for first and foremost about we’re not really in the the luxury piece uh place in our development yet we need guys who if we’re going to sign them what exactly are you bringing to me and Looney’s a great screener he’s a great rebounder but I I just kind of feel like the Kings need need more than that from their only big man out there because they’re not running two bigs at once if Looney’s going to be out there for the Kings he’s going to be the only big man out there and I think they need somebody who does a little bit more than just what he does Dennis Youngblood likes Looney over Len due to the durability Len always gets hurt 82 games 82 games 74 games last three seasons for Kavon Looney give me that Iron Man please and that’s with the playoffs so Dennis Young Blood on the sack chat would take Kavon Looney or Alex Len but the problem is you still have Alex l so unless you’re going to move off of Alex Len and then BR I I’m telling you I don’t think that this offense can handle Kevon Looney as the backup again he could not get time on the 10 seed that that’s what we’re talk and a team that he’s been with for years so they wanted to give him time and and Draymond wasn’t playing that that that that that’s about it for me all right coming up next we have a conversation as far as in and out and
