While the Warriors probably won’t look to wiggle out of Kevon Looney’s partially guaranteed $8 million salary, per Spotrac, they could consider using his contract as part of a major trade. And they almost certainly won’t bring back Dario Šarić, who lost his rotation spot by the end of the season.
In other words, a frontcourt group that wasn’t big to begin with could lose its tallest player and perhaps its strongest one.
Regardless what happens with Looney, Golden State seems likely to search out some kind of size this summer. The road to all championships in the near future figures to run through some of basketball’s literally biggest stars, be that Nikola Jokić, Joel Embiid, Rudy Gobert, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis or even Victor Wembanyama.
Even if the Warriors envision an expanded role for sophomore-to-be Trayce Jackson-Davis (they should), they should explore all options of getting bigger, bulkier and hopefully bouncier at the 5 spot.
