Kevon Looney’s departure from the Golden State Warriors was tough to swallow, but the team has no choice but to move forward — and a veteran addition next to Stephen Curry now seems likely for the upcoming season.

Three-time NBA Champion Kevon Looney is headed to the Big Easy. On Monday evening, Looney reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. He will be reunited with former Warrior and fellow Milwaukee native Jordan Poole.
