The Golden State Warriors have made a roster move
The deadline has arrived for the Golden State Warriors to make a decision on Kevin Looney’s non-guaranteed $8M salary for next season, and according toThis was the expected move for the Warriors, because even if the team does not plan to have Looney play a big role on the court next season, this roster moves allows for much more optionality than releasing him would have.
With an $8M expiring deal, Looney could be easy for Golden State to include in a trade, which is also what they are expected to pursue with Chris Paul’s non-guaranteed salary. While the Warriors could be limited in their ability to facilitate certain deals due to the league’s new very restrictive CBA, it seems there are ways for the team to use both Paul and Looney’s expiring contracts to make significant upgrades.
Slater reported that the Warriors have spoken to Chris Paul about potentially moving his $30M guarantee date from June 28 back until sometime in July.While Klay Thompson is the biggest offseason story, the Warriors had to make a decision on Looney, which they have now done. With free agency around the corner, this will be a huge offseason for the Warriors.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
