I think you might be mixed up. Lonnie himself revealed he had been the victim of sexual abuse as a child and he went to HS in Pennsylvania and college at Miami. Sounds like Primo from the allegations and he is from Canada an then played at Alabama.
The ?
Please post a source on this, because never have I ever heard stuff like this about Lonnie - quite the opposite, by all accounts. Sounds like something that would've made the rounds here, at least, right?
He's totally confusing him with Primo.The ?

carrying the team.
Hopefully to a number 1 pick like we got with Wemby
this is hilarious. You don‘t even know who‘s who
Thanks, but I was talking about Lonnie Walker IV. You seem to have him confused with Josh Primo.
This dude is so bad now. Makes me wonder if he’s lost a step due to the foot surgery. He seems incredibly slow, especially on the defensive end.
He was just as ty defensively last year. Dude has the body and the athleticism to be elite defensively but his main character syndrome has him thinking he's Kobe when he needs to be Rick Fox.
He was never a good defender, and the injuries haven't helped his cause there.
Every now and then he will have a good block, but his defensive IQ and overall quickness are not good. Consistently misses rotations or just defends useless space.
But he is more focused on getting the ball back on offense so he can try to pretend to be Durant.
I don’t think he has the lateral quickness to be a good defender. He’s got good size and length for the 2 guard spot, and good vertical pop when he gets a good run up lol.. but that’s about it. Everything else is poor, lateral quickness, IQ/anticipation, poor hustle and motor, poor strength due to slender frame and skinny legs/waist.
A lot of it is the skinny legs. Can't do anything about genes.
Who’s the better player Austin Reaves or Devin Vassell?
Simmons claims Reaves camp was waiting for an offer from the Spurs that never materialized. Even though they - the Spurs - said they would put forward an offer.
Seems like the Spurs bet on Vassell in the end.
I think the Spurs didn’t want to get into a long term offer sheet pissing contest with LA.
Reaves was a better player then, and is a better player now. Same goes with Herro, who there was some chatter about when Dame was trying to force his way to MIA. The Spurs put their chips on Devin Vassell, and it hasn't really worked out so far. We'll see how it goes going forward.
Wright acknowledged that Zollins was a disaster and traded him so there's hope the FO has some reality testing, though the Zollins dump may have been for flipping the bird, or whatever.
Copium. Wright acknowledged that he needed salary outgoing in a trade.
Was trying to do a mock rebuild of the Spurs in 2k over the weekend, and honestly struggled to find a landing spot for Vassell. The teams I thought he'd fit best (MIL, for example) don't have a path to matching salary while complying with apron rules.
It might be tougher to shed this guy that we think (if that's what the team even wants to do). Best I could come up with was Devin for an opted-in Middleton which would save us 3 years of Devin's deal, but not sure WAS would do that.
Not sure if SAC even wanted Devin, but the Fox deal might have been the best opportunity to unload Devin.
He traded him. He was barely playing. Just looking at objective results. And making an interpretation.
Reaves said himself there was an offer from SA and HOU. He has to sign for it to be an official offer sheet.
Simmons also said that, as a pressure tactic, the Lakers gave the player a deadline to or get off the pot, so this would make sense.
What does that mean? The Spurs put in an offer, but Reeves didn't want to sign it?
It probably wasn’t the offer they were looking for to pressure the Laker to up their ante.
Not sure about the other comments. But Simmons clearly states to Russillo that Reaves camp waited for an offer sheet from the Spurs that never came. Lakers were surprised as well and the proceed to pressure Reaves.
Should be around the 1:41:00 mark.
