Looney is increasingly expected to re-sign with the Warriors on a multiyear deal after playing a vital role in their fourth title run in a span of eight seasons.

Mark Medina: Warriors GM Bob Myers said “we’ll try” with retaining their key free agents (Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II), but mindful of the market place. Myers: “Our hope and our goal is to bring all of those guys back.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / June 22, 2022
If Payton II and Looney return on a $6 million per year salary and the remaining roster is filled out with their first-round pick and players signed to the veteran minimum, Golden State is projected to spend $390 million in salary and tax penalties. -via ESPN / June 18, 2022
