Lonnie Walker extension watch

[talkspurs]

Then Spurs usually bring their players back so that's what I expect for Walker.

They are going to run out the same core as last year with one or two new draft additions.

It's fun to speculate all these trades or free agents they will get but good chance they don't make any big team changing trades or fa signings.

Ive heard this narrative before but dont think they have brought most of them back. White and Murray are the only ones I can really think of recently. Murray and white had shown a lot more then walker has. They let go of kyle Anderson, joseph, james anderson, blair, george hill. Yes they brought back the big 3 and KL but they were very good players. I dont see him coming back and I am glad that he wont.
For people saying sign him to a cheap deal and trade him... what do you think he was on last year? a cheap deal with one year left. He was not traded I think because teams and not that interested in him. he may sign somewhere but it wont be a big contract.

Anything over the vet minimum is an overpay.

Thanks for this post BatManu20 and all the updates you have shared lately.


This is not surprising. It was clear as day, when Lonnie didn't play as much in the play in game despite shooting well and Dejounte being in foul trouble in a spell in which the team had troubles scoring the ball. He also made a comment or liked posts in social media questioning why he didn't play more.

Spurs are also probably drafting one guard/wing, and maybe more than one, that they will give minutes to. They gave 4 years to Lonnie to develop and its' time to move on.

Good. The writings were on the wall all season. He was given a very extended opportunity to prove himself and he didn’t. It is best for both parties to move on. Walker has a place in this league just not with the Spurs currently. Refreshing to see Wright coming along.

i'm not going to start a celebration just yet but this is encouraging at least. i really like walker but the time has come to move on from him.
