Kevon Looney celebrated his wedding with a cross-generational gathering of Warriors teammates. Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Jordan Poole, Brandin Podziemski and Damion Lee were among the attendees.
Thompson played his first 13 seasons with Golden State before signing with the Dallas Mavericks. He was a core member of the Warriors alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green, anchoring multiple championship runs.
Iguodala joined the Warriors in 2013 via a trade that cost the team a future first-round pick. In 2019, his contract was moved in a separate deal—also involving a future first-round pick—tied to the Kevin Durant sign-and-trade.
Poole, who developed into a starting guard with Golden State, was traded in 2023 in a deal that brought Chris Paul to the team and cost the Warriors a third future first-round pick. His presence at Looney's wedding shows that professional separations don't always end personal ties.
Podziemski remains on the current roster. Lee contributed to previous playoff lineups before moving on.
Other players who logged minutes in recent Warriors playoff runs included Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr. Jonathan Kuminga, Nemanja Bjelica, Moses Moody and Juan Toscano-Anderson.
The Warriors built their championship core through the draft—Curry first, Thompson two years later, Green the year after that—without heavily trading future assets early on. That discipline has eroded over time. The franchise has now dealt four future first-round picks over 13 years: the Iguodala acquisition in 2013, the 2019 Iguodala offload tied to the Durant deal, the 2023 Chris Paul trade and, most recently, a 2025 deal sending a fourth pick for Jimmy Butler.
The Durant era was made possible by a salary cap spike that gave the Warriors financial flexibility they could not have manufactured otherwise. That kind of leverage doesn't come around twice.
The Warriors are now burning future assets while Stephen Curry's prime winds down—a direction that is hard to defend. The bonds on display at Looney's wedding belong to a different era of roster-building, one the franchise has clearly left behind.
