Since the start of this free agency, the Warriors have already lost several important elements. The front office logically had to react, and just hit this Friday. It is Kevon Looney who will extend his adventure at Golden State, with the key to a nice contract.

The Warriors most certainly suspected after the title acquired in June: it will be difficult to keep the best elements of the roster. Some players performed well, such as Gary Payton II, who was rewarded with a good contract at the Blazers. Otto Porter Jr and Juan Toscano-Anderson also jumped ship, so the front office needed to reassure fans a bit.

We can say that it is done this Friday evening, since the leaders have reached an agreement with Kevon Looney. The latter will stay at Golden State while a possible departure has been mentioned in the past. Instead, the pivot is solidifying his presence at the Dubs, with a new three-year contract on arrival.

Free agent center Kevon Looney has agreed to a three-year, $25.5 million deal to return to Golden State, sources have told ESPN.

Free agent Kevon Looney has agreed to a three-year, $25 million deal to return to Golden State.

Precious during the playoffs, Looney has established himself as an important element of the roster. The leaders absolutely had to keep him, to avoid having to find a new pivot next season. It is now successful, even if the addition continues to climb in Golden State.

Kevon Looney, so valuable to the Dubs in the playoffs, has decided to stay a little longer in California. A nice contract at the end of the day for the pivot, who deserves it after great performances in recent weeks. Finally a victory for the Warriors, who needed it at the start of free agency.
