The Golden State Warriors won three championships with Kevon Looney, but the big man appears to be declining rapidly with the New Orleans Pelicans. There have been plenty of issues in the Big Easy this season, but the Looney signing looks disastrous. He got a two-year $16 million contract with a team option in year two. It will be an easy decision if Looney’s play doesn’t improve.
The big man is shooting 34.6 percent from the field this season and has a negative value over replacement player (VORP). Things have gotten so bad that he is no longer in the nightly rotation.
