If Kevon Looney Is Released By The Warriors Should The Phoenix Suns Pursue Him?

If Kevon Looney Is Released By The Warriors Should The Phoenix Suns Pursue Him?

let’s focus in on you know what we’re gonna kind of save the draft stuff for last now look this is just clearly a rumor in fact I don’t even know if I want to like label it as a rumor because technically no no no not technically because this player is still under contract for this upcoming season so for the 2024 25 season so it’s like a a light rumor I don’t even know how to technically say what this is but there was a tweet that was put out and that’s that’s a lot of the show is me just kind of reacting to tweets you guys know how I do things here so there was a tweet that was put out and I guess this is all coming from um from a PO uh somebody who covers the Golden State Warriors I believe and so maybe maybe he heard it from a source and this will eventually become like official I don’t know but I feel like it’s at least worth spending a few minutes on uh but let’s talk about cavon Looney and I’m not sure if other Sons podcasts have covered this already whatever you guys are here from my opinion so I’m going to give it to you guys and I appreciate you guys for letting me do that so I always butcher this guy’s last name and I’m probably gon to butcher the other last name but I’m going to do my best please forgive me in the comments y’all Evan cedri or sediri however you pronounce that Evan cedri puts out cavon Looney will likely be released by The Warriors to save money on their tax bill per Tim Co kame I probably butchered that I do apologize so according to somebody who covers the Warriors cavon Looney will likely be released by The Warriors to save money on their tax bill only three million a cavan or kavan Looney’s 8 million salary is fully guaranteed until it is until it fully locks in on June 24th if cavon Looney is released expect plenty of Interest now again I didn’t listen to what that podcast guy said it’s linked if you guys want to go check it out in in evans’s tweet here and Evan is right you know he is still under contract you can go to spot track you can look up his contract and everything technically it’s for eight million but only three million of it’s guaranteed because the Warriors didn’t win the championship and I did read a quote here that says and I I I assume this is from the Warriors plus minus podcast C that’s where all this is coming from I believe quote I think the likeliest situation is that he’s cut and he makes three million from the Warriors and he’s off looking for another spot because again that three million is guaranteed and there will be another spot for him in this league quami I hope I pronounced that right said on the Warriors plus minus podcast quote teams are going to want him again for a very low number if they’re going to want him and then also uh sorry I’m just reading something real quick okay cool uh and then also I saw uh Gerald boray from phnx who does great work he’s been writing like crazy he just does incredible work Gerald goray said this he kind of did like a deeper dive on cavon Looney and after the show I’ll put the link in the description you guys can read it it’s on go phx.com Sun Centers targets vet minimum 2024 free agency very bottom it’s on cavon Looney this was one of Gerald’s quotes here and I quote if keev if cavon Looney becomes available there simply isn’t a better option that could be had in free agency at a vet minimum price tag Not only would he serve as a high-end Not only would he serve as a high-end backup but he’s one of the few bigs on this list capable of starting in a playoff setting and holding his own close quote so cavon Looney y’all and I meant to do this sooner but let me just look up his stats not really like stats are everything but it’s important so last season I’m looking it up here I’ll share the screen so you guys can see what I’m looking at here here’s cavon Looney stats played in 74 games so was pretty much healthy because remember the the league minimum now to win Awards is 65 games so he played in 74 only four points per game 5.7 rebounds you probably want to see that get a little higher but a a real a real thing to factor in here is I forgot his name like Jackson Davis or something like that they other young rookie forward Center or whatever uh he took a lot of minutes because he kind of had like his Breakout season if you will gavon Looney also shot nearly 60% from the field by the way not a great free throw shoot free throw shooter either 67.5% not great but he’s played in 523 games throughout his career not to mention he’s a three time NBA champion and that’s another thing that I think is really important whether you’ve won one title or you’ve won three or you’ve won 10 winning a championship it’s a lot like you you have that experience you know what to do in certain situations you have all that playing time and experience and stories you can bring to a team so anybody who has a ring that comes to a Phoenix Suns I think is an instant um impact like Damen Lee like I know he didn’t play all last season but the dude has won a ring before that’s got to count for something like going back to um um Matt Hopkins or Mike Hopkins the Washington coast that we just hired that I completely forgot his name like that dude you know I know he hasn’t won like a college uh Championship but like the dude has so many years of experience from one of the greatest coaches ever it’s like that’s got to be worth something you know what I mean like all that experience has to be worth something especially coming to a team with championship aspirations and pressure and excitement and whatever word you want to use coming to A Team like the Phoenix Suns that is huge I will take I will take that and again just remember you guys he’s still under contract and with all due respect to cavon Looney because I I I’ve always liked cavon Looney I would welcome a cavon looney for the right price but when I was reading all this and kind of prepping for the live show I couldn’t stop thinking about I was like you know what I was like I I’m a bigger fan of Andre Drummond and maybe my guy Super Mario Hoops who’s in here would completely disagree with me and tell me why we should not pursue Andre Drummond I kept thinking of like Andre Drummond or like probably like five other targets that I would want and that’s no disrespect to gavon Looney like I get it I see the vision I do heck who knows maybe the fing Suns go out and get him and he’s like a great impact player and I I’m just sitting here eating my words but like I don’t know like I would prefer like an Andre Drummond I don’t know let me know what you guys think though would you want the Phoenix Suns if cavon Looney does become a free agent would you want the Phoenix Suns to pursue cavon Looney especially for the minimum is if it’s for the minimum why not and like Saul says right here why not both geek screw it let’s do it man like I’m down like just just say hey we got new coaching staff we got new front office people we got our big three come here and win a championship on the vet minimum go get go get both of them like Ray Raymond just says yes like yes go get both of them screw it you know what I mean like I I agree now I probably should have focused a lot of this show with the whole nerk stuff and first off those are just rumors too by the way I know there’s a lot of like stuff going around like nerk could get thrown in this I know I know I’m I am not there yet as a as a content creator podcast or whatever you want to call me um I am not there yet I’m not there in my mind with the whole nage trade stuff but I will say this you guys with the draft being in t- minus two weeks maybe I should start prepping for potential use of nerk trades now again nothing is official there has been no report there’s been nothing of real credibility or whatever sources that have said yeah the suns are actively pursuing a nerkish trade no that has not been reported like even Mike boser when he was hired was like yeah we have our starting five like under contract act like or or he said something like that but he mentioned the starting five and I know with Mike Bo holer in his system nerk may not be the best fit but I would make a few Arguments for keeping nurkic I don’t know but again let’s let’s stay on topic here y’all like I love what Saul said like why not both go get Kavon Looney on the minimum and let’s see if we can talk Andre Drummond for a fair price and that’s what I said when I made that YouTube short about Andre Drummond I said like what is Andre Drummond’s price and like I would if I was the GM of Phoenix Suns I would pay a decent amount but not like I wouldn’t overpay it as much as as big of a fan as I am of Drummond I would not like overpay for Andre Drummond you know what I mean does that make sense last thing on the uh cavon Looney thing kind of like I said uh Looney is a champion he is experience love the movie yeah like I didn’t even talk about his experience like well I kind of mentioned the games he’s played over 500 NBA games but he’s played in some pivotal NBA playoff games NBA finals games and the dude’s been there he’s been through the fire if you will like the dude’s experience would be huge and and think of the players he’s played with even though I I hate him now like Draymond Green and Steph Curry and Klay Thompson been coached by Steve Curry and Bob Myers was their GM like the dude’s got experience Let’s Do It Go bring cavon Looney in on the minimum just do it Warriors it’s time to face facts you guys got to just keep Steph Curry around do a strong retool around that let everyone else go embrace the future keep Steph Curry for as long as possible but anyways all right y’all uh I like DeAndre drum move better than cavon Looney because I feel for some reason he’s more reliable and that you’ll know he’ll do his job yeah y’all like I I could I could do a whole not really a whole show but I could do a decent amount of show on Andre Drummond why I’m a big fan of him I mean the dude oh by the way I think cavon Looney’s only 28 29 someone fact checked me on that Andre Drummond’s like 30 it feels like the dude’s been in the league forever but he’s only 30 y’all like he still fits our timeline go get both of them man sounds good [Music] appreciate what’s up son a [Music]

According to The Athletic‘s Tim Kawakami, Golden State will likely cut Looney before his salary for 2024-25 becomes fully guaranteed on June 24th. If that happens should the Phoenix Suns pursue him? Here are my thoughts.
