You missed the point stupid. Scoring wins you games. Which he dont care about as he'd rather have adanced stats. You Stay you.
Small sample size but advanced stats actually like Lonnie's defense so far this season. His DBPM is positive after averaging a negative 1.1 DBPM in his time with the Spurs. He's also on pace to smash his defensive win share numbers this season. Very interesting if this hold up.

Walker now a deep bench player for the Lakers.
I don’t believe this is completely performance related. The injury pulled him out of the rotation awhile ago. Started slowly working back in. Then the trades happened and it reshaped the roster before he re-established himself.
He started the year strong. Let’s see if he works his way back into the rotation by seasons end.
The rare minutes he had he was pretty efficient, I hope he’ll get some bigger opportunities.
With LBJ out he’ll get more minutes I suspect.
He sucks
Glad Lonnie got a 6.5 million dollar pay day from the Lakers. He'll be making 1.8 million per season from now on.
it wouldn't shock me if lonnie is out of the league by the time he's 30
Ironic, since I was just looking at his bbref page. Near the bottom of each page, they list 10 player comps, based on WS. Of his 10, 4 never played a 4th season in the league.
Thats the more than the average of a random FRP. In fact its a huge success. Dude earned it .
Double
Lonnie has such great physical ability he was a crowd pleaser on dunks; however, like some other players we've had on the Spurs, he wasn't able to translate his physical prowess into consistent all-around play that would keep him high on the rotation list. He may be back in the scramble for minutes in the rotation with the recent Laker trade moves. I think many of us kinda have a soft spot for Lonnie since he had a bad upbringing and has this chance to make something of his life. I wish him a few more years in the league where he can qualify for the pension as well as some contracts that might set him up for life if he is careful with his money.
Lonnie lacks grit. With it he would be great.
He should be set for life now. Counting this year he has career earnings of $19 million. That doesn't include any endorsement money he's collected along the way.
elite athlete with a good shooting stroke and couldnt quite put it together, shame. sky was the limit for him
Reminds me a lot of Ben McLemore, elite vertical athlete, nice shooting touch, but really nothing else. Few rebounds for that athleticism, few assists, almost no defensive events. Ben was out of the league after his 28 YO season last year.
Bummer tbh. I like Lonnie a lot, hopefully he can get another prove it contract this summer.
He’s a good kid, so he’ll get more chances that he would otherwise.
Here's a question for Spur fans: Was getting rid of Lonnie a good move for the FO? Would he be an asset to the team going forward if he were still here?
Oh yes.
Yes. Walker isn’t an asset. He is on a fair 1 yr deal and probably makes less next season.
What the Spurs need to do right now and for the next few years is to find and develop potential star players and good starters.
Lonnie is, at best, a solid role player off the bench for a good team.
That's ok if he's not taking minutes from young prospects, but on this Spurs team he would be.
I think it was handled well on all fronts
Reasonable draft pick at the time
Became clear he was not going to be a star- let him go
Move on- give the minutes to Malaki, Devin etc
Anybody doubt that he reads ST?
