The Russell deal means the Warriors won’t be able to keep Kevon Looney, a prime candidate for the Celtics’ vacant starting big spot.

Looney is 6'9" but has a 7' 3.5'' wingspan and a 9' 2'' reach...

Should be noted that Boston was connected to Looney in the 2015 draft, but his hip injury dropped his stock. We ended up with.... Rozier instead lol

Is Looney really a guy who is gonna sign for just $4.8 mil?

Houston is in on this but you would think that he would have a better chance to increase his own value here since there is no center like Capela to eat up most of the playing time.

The guy is an upcoming MIP candidate, much like what Siakam did last year.. He is poised to break out hence teams are swooping in... Can play as a versatile 4/5.
