Draymond Green regrets not being able to celebrate Jordan Poole's big contract with him

In his exit press conference, Looney said he wants to have an offensive mindset, which could include being an option from deep. The goal of 35 or 36 percent from beyond the arc is what he said about two months ago. Since then, Looney has clearly taken his words to heart. “I got a new goal, that's my new plan,” Looney said. “I have to be able to adapt, so I'm looking forward to that – adding to my game, getting used to this new NBA and understanding it well. I have been working hard and I feel like I will be a different player next year. That's always the goal. “I feel like I overcame my old role, so now I have to find my new role and take that next step. That's what I was focusing on. I try to focus on my game, and usually when you focus on your game and put in the work, things always go well for me.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 10, 2024

Kevon Looney hit a roadblock in his ninth NBA season, a year after his career best. He did everything in his power to ensure that it was an obstacle and not the end. Looney also knows what comes next isn't entirely up to him. The Warriors center joined longtime teammate Draymond Green after Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals on the “Draymond Green Show” to talk about the Boston Celtics' win over the Dallas Mavericks and the unique stories of their nearly ten years together in Golden State. The last question Green asked Looney wasn't about looking back, but what's next for him and the Warriors. -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 10, 2024

“The ball is not in my court,” Looney said. “I have no control over my future, so I have to play the waiting game, control what I can't control. I've been here my whole career. I don't know anything else. You always want to finish what you started and be somewhere else throughout your career, but I've been in this business long enough to know that's not true. I'm ready for anything. My family is out here, the Bay has been great for me. They treated me like family, I grew up here. “I haven't thought too much about it. I'm trying to see what they're going to do first before I push the envelope and see what I want to do.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 10, 2024
