Celtics interested in Looney

[CelticsElite]

The Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics have interest in Kevon Looney.

Shams Charania reports that the Celtics will pursue bigs with their $4.8 million option, such as Looney and Enes Kanter.

Marc Stein reports the Rockets have arranged a recruitment session for Sunday with Looney. Houston similarly pursued Andre Iguodala in 2017, which drove up the price the Warriors ultimately had to pay.

The Warriors would also like to re-sign Looney.

Let's see if Danny can push the Dubs deeper into the luxury tax.

I just don't see us going for Looney, he is not a true center and undersized.

He’s a center with a better chance of slowing down Giannis than Enes Kanter has.

All the Celts have after signing Kemba is 4.8 million? Yikes. Even Looney may be out of our price range.

Perhaps but not a good rebounder at all.

Good offensive rebounder, but not a good defensive rebounder, certainly.  When you’re at the room exception, any player you get will have his shortcomings.

I guess Looney is meeting with Chicago and Houston. His visibility during the Warriors playoff runs probably adds to his cost. He's be great in Boston but he may be a little out of their price range this year.
