Welp.
The stat makes Jacob at 26. Thats some select company, top 30 .Wow with an exclamation point. Lol
Welp.
Im done with lonnie....We got a few first rounds picks to mess with.....Lonnie was just to inconsistent...
Might as well gamble with another prospect if lonnies gonna be inconsistent another year.
I said it in another thread, but the Spurs could just let Lonnie go and slide Malik Monk in that spot. They can easily afford to pay him more than the Lakers are allowed to offer.
The thing with Lonnie imo I think he may have reached his peak as a NBA player. He definitely belongs. He’s a pretty good player more than bad even with his inconsistencies. With his athletic gifts he still isn’t very good at the rim unless he has a clear path to it. He had a great shot last year and this year it was inconsistent. His defense apparently improved I will give him that. If a team is willing to offer a Derozan type of deal with a future first and a bad contract for Lonnie. I would do it in a heart beat. If he’s back I wouldn’t be disappointed either but could see him get D. White if contenders think they are close.
LOL. I’m sure contenders are thinking to themselves Lonnie Walker is the guy to put them over.
He has 0 trade value. He had none at the trade deadline and less now because his RFA status complicates matters.
Our roster is already full of average players and Walker is right in the middle of that, which means he sucks... its time to get rid of these losers... i expect the same thing with Primo. If only this re ed franchise wouldnt waste first round picks on second rounders, cause they think they will look smart, if any of these players turn into Manu or Parker.
He played 17 minutes, scoring 12 with 5/9 shooting 2/4 on threes but people are taking shot at him. Ridiculous imo
He had the best and most consistent stretch of his career these last 20 games or so but we have 5 SGs between JRich, Primo, Vassell, Langford and Walker. There is simply no reason to retain him. He’s played good enough that someone pribably offers him the MLE. I can easily see him getting 3yr/30mm and it would probably be a mistake to match that.
10 million a year is not a mistake for me but i understand your point. I just don't understand why people are on him while he played some good basketball lately and yesterday.
For the Sg's Langford is gone imo and i prefer Lonnie actually, i let Walker go if i have another SG/SF via FA or Draft but if not and he's cheap i hope he stays in his 6th man role.
Will be strange to get rid of a guy when he starts to pan out. ( unless he commands to much money)
After scoring 9 off the bench between the 1st and 2nd i reckon pop forgot about Lonnie. Old age is a factor. He brought back Lonnie with 1min left in da 2nd. Like wtf . They guy was scoring with ease.
The second half . Lonnie had 1 stint off the bench, then never saw the court again.
The old man is past it. Dont want him back
It was pretty clear Walker's back was ailing him last night. I imagine if fully healthy he would have played a good deal more. I think he played well but was limited.
Walker is not better than Langford overall in my opinion….. time will tell though. Not to play Langford was strategy by the spurs I’m thinking.
You cannot play Lonnie in a game where you are behind. He gives up as many points as he scores,plus a few more.
His D was not bad but you don't like him so no reason to have a debate about him .
End of an era. Forbes better.
Manny, please ignore this post********************************************** *********************************
He is a net negative player. His defense is easily that bad. The numbers do not lie. For every 100 possessions he is on the floor, basically a full 48 minute game by our pace, the team scores 103 points, and surrenders 115. You cannot ing spin that.
Lonnie has shown that he can break defenses and score at will. He’s good for 20 pts at times, and that’s more than you can expect for a 6th man. Yes for a 6th man price, I would resign him back.
I'm talking about his D yesterday..........
You people are crazy to be hating on Lonnie. He was one of the only players playing fearless basketball last night. With 12 points in 16 minutes he was in pace to be our top scorer in an important game.
Yesterday is a nano-sized sample. Overall, this year, and for his career, it's poor, and you can't afford that in your rotation if you're a borderline playoff/play in team.
Teams used to have guys like this, and wondered by they didn't win. No need to wonder any more. The numbers tell the tale.
That's actually a pretty bold take. I'm not sure what the strategy with Langford would have been, though. I mean, I'm assuming if was better than our other players then he would have played in the same way that Richardson did. I suppose the strategy may have been to get a last look at Walker before they figure out what to do with him in the off-season. But for me, I'm not putting a lot of faith in Langford until I actually see something on the court, though.
Lonnie IS way down there, which is hard to ignore. I think he's realizing he has to be a microwave player to have a career. But the shocker for me is Primo, one away from dead last. Ugh.
I think he had a hamstring issue that plagued him this year.
I'd be more concerned about the 4th year player at the bottom than the rookie.
