The dilemma revolves around Kevon Looney’s contract situation with the Warriors for the 2024-25 season. While he has a partially-guaranteed contract, keeping him on the roster will cost $8 million, whereas cutting him would still incur a $3 million expense against the team’s salary cap and tax. Trayce Jackson-Davis’s emergence has raised questions about Looney’s role and salary worth. Despite this, Looney is highly regarded by the team and considered one of the top backup centers in the NBA. His reliability, especially in critical moments, makes him valuable. The decision for the Warriors boils down to whether they prioritize finding a cheaper backup center or are willing to retain Looney despite the cost.
The odds of his staying are seen as approximately 50-50, with a slight inclination towards him remaining with the team.
