"OMG!!! It's so lit," Poole wrote on his Instagram story, along with some excited emojis.

The two Milwaukee natives played together for Golden State from 2019 to 2023 and were pivotal keys to the Warriors' title-winning squad in 2021-22.

Looney's contract is worth $16 million over two years, ESPN's Shams Charania reported, as the veteran center is set to depart after 10 seasons in the Bay Area.

On June 24, Charania reported the Pelicans' acquisition of Poole from the Washington Wizards in a deal that sends guard CJ McCollum and forward Kelly Olynyk to the nation's capital.
