Impending free agency may undervalue him, but Kevon Looney’s phenomenal play deserves some attention.
“I hope he doesn’t come back...” Taken out of context, this Andre Iguodala quote about impending free agent Kevon Looney would be real bad. But like perniciously clipping bits out of a 300 page report, the snippet of a quote paints paints a misleading picture. “I hope he gets paid, so I hope he doesn’t come back because I hope he gets all the money,” is what Iguodala said.
Iguodala obviously doesn’t really want him gone, but the sentiment highlights a reality: Looney is one of the poster children of the NBA’s disappearing middle class.
