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

At his exit interview press conference, Looney said he wants to be more offensive-minded, which can involve being an option from deep. A goal of 35 or 36 percent beyond the arc is one he stated nearly two months ago. Since, Looney clearly has taken his words to heart. “I got a new goal, that’s my new plan,” Looney said. “I got to be able to adapt, so I’m looking forward to that – adding to my game, adapting to this new NBA and figuring it out. I’ve been working hard and I feel like I’m going to be a different player next year. That’s always the goal. “I feel like I conquered my old role, so now I got to figure out my new role and take that next step. That’s what I’ve been focusing on. I’m trying to focus on my game, and usually when you focus on your game and you put in the work things always work out for me.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 10, 2024

Kevon Looney hit a roadblock in his ninth NBA season, a year after the best of his career. He’s doing everything in his power to make sure it was an obstacle and not a dead end. Looney also knows what’s next isn’t entirely up to himself. The Warriors’ center joined his longtime teammate Draymond Green after Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals on the “Draymond Green Show” to talk about the Boston Celtics’ win against the Dallas Mavericks and different stories over their near-decade together in Golden State. The last question Green asked Looney wasn’t about looking at the past, but what’s next for him and the Warriors. -via NBC Sports Bay Area / June 10, 2024

“The ball isn’t in my court,” Looney said. “I don’t have full control over my destiny, so I kind of have to play the waiting game, control what I can control. I’ve been here my whole career. I don’t know nothing else. You always want to finish what you started and be somewhere for your whole career, but I’ve been in this business long enough to know that’s not realistic. I’m preparing myself for whatever. My family’s out here, the Bay’s been great to me. They treat me like family, I grew up here. “I haven’t really thought about it too far. 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
