What?? This dude has trouble finishing at the rim. Save for open dunk opportunities, his layup attempts look like a ing high school'er out there.
A change of scenery won't do for this kid. He's a head-case with amazing physical gifts who doesn't love basketball. Inconsistent, unreliable and has a low BB IQ. He should've stayed in school and matured before declaring for the draft but the money was too good to pass up. I understand why he did it & the Spurs couldn't help themselves. Well, chalk this up as a loss & move on.

I rather see what Langford brings than another season of Walker.
Will always be rooting for Lonnie because he seems like a great person who really tried to be part of the San Antonio community, but his time here is done.
Yeah agreed although not sure Langford gets much of a chance.
He'll end up on the Lakers for a veterans minimum deal.
Actually wouldn't be the worst move for them. They need to get rid of some of those dinosaurs they tried to win with last year and actually bring some athleticism
I would hate to see him go. Lonnie strikes me as a late bloomer. I think he is on the verge of putting it all together. I really hope we give him one more year to sprout.

The case against re-signing Lonnie: we just drafted 2 replacements for him
The case for re-signing Lonnie: he once had cool hair and a cool nickname
Meh Stephen Jackson was in year 3 when he was saving the Spurs season in the Phoenix series and burying threes to lock up the le in Game 6 of the Finals.
In the same article Wright praises the compe iveness of Wesley and Branham
Lonnie just doesn't have that. Yes he works hard but just lacks that edge.
Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley impressed the Spurs so much with their compe iveness at a pre-draft workout that the team decided to take both players, writes Tom Orsborn of The San Antonio Express-News. The two guards were matched up against each other in a 3-on-3 scrimmage and both took advantage of the opportunity.
“I felt like we was competing for a spot, so I was going extra hard and going after him,” Wesley said of Branham. He also tried to outshine Duke’s Wendell Moore, who took part in the scrimmage as well, explaining, “They had a lot more hype than me, so I wanted to go at them.”
He's likely gone now after adding the two guards.
Spurs need to open up three roster spots.
Wesley sounds like he has a bit of that DJ Murray fire in him
haha Stack and Walker are build diff lol
Don’t know if it’s possible but read an article from a raptors website online for a Boucher & 2nd round pick for Lonnie sign and trade. They need someone to back up Gary Trent Jr.
If that's actually an option, Lonnie should already be on the plane.
Boucher would be a perfect rotation PF/C. Good shot blocker and has a decent 3pt shot. Just what we need.
Could Malaki Branham or Blake Wesley beat LWII in a game of one-on-one?
Let him play them for his spot.
If Lonnie loses, let him go.
Boucher is a free agent. Why would Spurs use sign and trade and get under a hard cap?
Both players had some clutch play this year. Wesley hit the game winner against Kentucky at home this year when UK was ranked #10.
Lonnie can‘t guard either one of them
I'm willing to give Lonnie another chance for the right price. The way people talk about him you would think he us a terrible player but he is not.
I get it that the expectations on him are high and he still shows flashes of that player that we think he is but I don't think he is a bad player to have around as long as we are not overpaying and over playing him. I would love to see how he responds to a coach that's not Pop, but who knows .
Right now the spurs have a very full roster. I believe one or both of the two way contracts have been used so those spots are taken and we have 3 first round picks with guaranteed money. We also have several non guaranteed contracts so the moves the spurs have left is to let some contracts expire to clear up some spots. Trading a player/players is always possible but the spurs don't do all that many trades.
Lonnie is in a weird position. He didn't do well enough to get an extension so now he plays the waiting game till Wednesday. With all the guards already on the team, there just doesn't seem a way to still be on the team. My guess is that the spurs just let contract expire and he becomes a free agent. His varying talents entertained us for 4 years but his inconsistencies just made it tough for the spurs to keep him.
Thanks for the memories, good luck wherever you go next (probably the lakers for a minimum contract)
Wishing him a good luck on whatever happens to him this offseason but yeah, quite had a high expectation from him esp. he got tools and had his chances however still inconsistent.
Productivity-wise on offense, he's decent sometimes but still underwhelming.
Also, fell on this and had expectation that his IQ is off the chart in the court. lol
