On July 8, the NBA entered the offseason. The Warriors updated social media earlier today, sending their blessings to Looney who left the team and thanking Looney for her contribution to the Warriors. Famous reporter Marc J-Spears bluntly stated that the Warriors may retire Looney's No. 5 jersey.

According to Shams' previous report, three-time champion center Kevin Looney joined the Pelicans for 16 million in two years. According to subsequent reports from salary expert Bobby Marks, Kevin Looney's signing funds came from a $14.1 million non-luxury tax full middle class special case. Due to the hard salary cap restrictions, the Pelicans' salary space is $5 million lower than the first tycoon line.

In this way, Looney left the Warriors who had played for 10 seasons, and this would be his first time playing for a team outside the Warriors. Looney was selected by the Warriors with the 30th pick in the first round of 2015. He played for the Warriors for 10 seasons. He played in 599 regular season games, averaging 4.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He made 89 appearances in the playoffs, and averaged 5.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Looney won three championships with the Warriors in his career.

Earlier today, the Warriors officially updated social media. They posted photos of Looney to express their gratitude and wrote: "A champion player, a leader in the field and community, he is the representative of truly interpreting the "Warrior Spirit". Kevin - Thank you for your wonderful decade with the Warriors Kingdom."

To Looney's contribution, famous reporter Marc J-Spears said: "Kevin Looney may be retired from the Warriors one day in the future. He is the tough guy on the team, the general manager is doing dirty work. He is the person in the locker room. This is very difficult because he has always been an excellent mentor in the team, just like people imagine Curry and dream pursuits, but no one can coach the young players in the team better than Looney."

How do you evaluate Looney's Warriors career? Is his jersey qualified to retire? Everyone is welcome to give your views in the comment section.
