NBA free agency has been nonexistent for the Warriors, but familiar faces will be reuniting in New Orleans.
The New Orleans Pelicans signed Kevon Looney to a two-year, $16 million free-agent contract and Jordan Poole’s live reaction is a must-see.
“Elite duo right there,” Poole, who was acquired by the Pelicans from the Washington Wizards earlier in the offseason, said when reacting to the news.
The former Warrior duo played four seasons together before Poole was traded to the Washington Wizards in 2023, and then to the New Orleans Pelicans earlier this month.
During their time together, they were key contributors to the Warriors’ 2022 NBA championship. Poole averaged 13.2 points in the finals, while Looney averaged five points along with seven and a half rebounds.
“I’m so happy bro … that’s some of the best news I’ve heard yet,” Poole continued.
Shortly after the signing was announced, Looney Facetimed his former teammate. Poole had a wholesome response when answering the call.
“Welcome bro … it’s been a long time comin’ bro,” Poole said.
These two were beloved in the Bay, and now they’ll be competing against Golden State in a stacked Western Conference.
