Beijing time on June 21, after winning this year's championship, the Warriors management stated that they would work hard to retain the main rotation lineup during the offseason, but this sentence is easier said than done. In particular, some role players will face high salary pursuits from other teams after winning the championship. For example, blue-collar center Looney was revealed to be interested in many teams, especially the Kings and Hornets, who wanted to pursue him with a big contract.

But even in this situation, Looney still stated that he wanted to stay with the Warriors. According to " San Francisco Chronicle " reporter Connor Letourneau, although Looney wants a salary increase, his salary increase is not large. It is expected that he will only ask for a contract with an annual salary of 6 million to 7 million US dollars.

In this year's playoffs , Looney averaged 5.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, performing very well. In this case, he can definitely ask for a higher price, but the salary he is asking for now is completely a reasonable price compared to his contribution.

You must know that Clippers 's Hartenstein has just been exposed and may get a full mid-level contract. And Celtics center Theis, who barely played in the finals, also has a four-year contract worth $35.6 million, with an average salary of nearly $9 million. Looney's ability and role are obviously superior to these two, but his current asking price is only 70-80% of the two.

Because of this, many Warriors fans also praised Looney's actions and called on the team to sign him quickly. And if Looney can be retained, the Warriors can be considered a good start for the contract renewal work this offseason. At the same time, they can pay less luxury tax, which will also facilitate subsequent operations.
