Would be interesting to see how another team and coach would use him.
Simmons was better tbh

samanic took it all with him
I think you'll get a chance to see that next year.
meh,weve been saying that for 5 years now. Old fart still had one year remaining on his deal. No way he's resigning though
I think he meant that you'll see Lonnie play for a different coach because he'll be on a different team.
I think Lonnie will be elesewhere next year. No idea of Pop's status or future.
This.
All he needs is a new coach and he will be much better. I don’t think his ceiling is that high anymore, but he could still turn into a Lou Williams or something like that
I’ve said for a while that despite his prodigious talent, his ceiling was bench spark, Lou, or Jamal Crawford. He just lacks the mettle to be a star.
That is still pretty good company but he will probably bounce around the league before he gets there. I’m sure the Spurs will offer him something small and he will see better away.
Last game would of been the perfect game out of Lonnie. Was seriously active on d and rebounds. Just couldnt hit an an open shot on offense . Cost the team a chance at winning.
His three has become inconsistent and his mid range game has deserted him this season . Im expecting improvement.
It's not that Walker lacks the mettle or the spirit or the fire. It's that he's not very good at the end results of basketball. He's not a good shooter. He's not a good finisher. He doesn't make good defensive reads. You're acting like he's not trying, but he's trying. He's just not very good.
Lonnie is trash.....
he will drop 20+ in his first game against SA
Have no ing idea how you got from my last post Lonnie is lacking fire or doesnt try.
Pointed out his shooting needs to improve. Its regressed this season. At 23 he still got time on his side .
We rarely miss on players doing horrible here and blow up elsewhere...... check the history
He does lack fire and is way to passive.... he’s just happy to be on the team vs going all out! Primo is coming
Even if he does he'll give it all back on defense.
Remember when everyone thought Demar was holding Lonnie back, good times lmao jk Lonnie just can’t figure it out tbh he’s gotta find a way to carve out some sort of role or his time in the NBA will be short lived
If he cant hit an open shot or be a consistent outsisde threat..Then like the other poster said, he no better than aJonathan simmons and will be out of the league soon.
Spurs fo finally did something right and didnt waste money extending this guy
I don’t have much in Lonnie working out just to be in the league this long and still not know where to be on defense just wasn’t going to cut it. To me the bigger surprise has been White he is playing terrible he has gone from a legit starter to sixth man to maybe a decent bench player. Is he hurt or did the Spurs try to trade him and it didn’t work out and now he is bummed?
Should Lonnie just stop taking threes temporarily?
Like say for 5 games.
Just take a break. Drive, pass.
DeMar was holding everyone back, not just Lonnie (rather, not Lonnie at all, specifically). The team, the franchise, himself. Good riddance.
Lonnie will carve out a role as a bench shooter on any team that's not the Spurs and that actually has offensive power, most likely on a team with a heliocentric player like Luka, Harden, etc, where he's not asked to create or handle as much. He'll be mostly limited to C&S's with the occasional drive, but I don't doubt that he'd do well in that role. Sad to see his time in SA might be coming to an end, but like with DDR, I'm also starting to think that it's for the best.
Damaged goods, Pop has destroyed this kids development beyond repair here and its time to move on. I do hope he can put it together under a new coach and team because I still think he has some special talent that can be tapped if he gets his mind right.
