Kevon Looney returned to the Warriors last offseason after no other NBA teams showed interest in him.

Marc Stein of the New York Times first reported Looney's scheduled talk with the Rockets.
Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News noted that the Bulls also will be involved.
Looney's appeal and value skyrocketed with his performance this past season. In 80 games, the former first-round draft pick averaged a career-high 6.3 points and 5.2 rebounds. In the playoffs, Looney was even better, as he averaged 7.1 points per game and played through a right first costal cartilage non-displaced fracture that he suffered in the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr dubbed Looney as a "foundation piece" for the franchise, so losing him would be a big blow to the roster.
