The 2018 30-team NBA mega-trade that solves nothing and makes everyone mad
By Ian Levy
Golden State Warriors
Sending out: Kevon Looney (BRK)
Bringing in: 2021 second-round pick (DAL)
What do you get for the team that has literally everything? Two of the five best players in the league. The second-best shooter of all-time. One of the most versatile defenders to ever play in the NBA. A bench that’s so deep you’ll lose your mind just staring at it. How about a mystery box to be opened later?
The Warriors don’t have any need for Looney right now and it’s unlikely that they will any time before they’d have to pony up for his next contract. Kick the can down the road, grab a second-round pick and find yourself another Kevin Looney in a few years.
