Boston Celtics shocking signing: Lonnie Walker signs training camp deal
The Celtics shocked everyone on Wednesday night when they got Lonnie Walker IV to agree to an Exhibit 10 contract … essentially a training camp deal. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal reacts to the surprising signing and how it’s a no-risk, high-reward deal that could lead to Walker cracking the top seven or eight of Boston’s rotation.

😮 wow how did that happen? He's an instant rotation player!
The Celtics are even more stacked now. I would take the Celtics’ bench against more than half of the league’s starters right now!
I’m getting a kick out of people losing their minds over this. How does Brad do this? Why didn’t he let players walk to sign buyout players mid season or for picks to not be moved to end of the first round 7 years from now?
Whaaaat
Yessir!!! 😂😂😂☘️☘️☘️☘️ watch the haters say “how can Celtics afford all these players “ 😂😂😂
When you win a ring, players will take less to come to your team. They make it back in playoffs and finals. They get bonus checks and incentives during playoffs and finals!
I bought your book last night at Walgreens bro! Nice work!! I love it!
Great move microwave scorer!
I wonder why nobody else signed him.
I should be a gm i was thinking sign him last month
This was definitely NOT on my bingo card. Umm Brad just doing Brad things I guess?!
Appreciate the bonus podcast! Celtics are looking awesome!
Brad is NOT playing! WOW
This is just as good as the derek white trade if not better
Great move by Brad. LW can help take some minutes off of the Jays. He can hit the 3 and if he gets a free lane, he will throw it down on top of you.
Locked On Celtics, I enjoy your content a lot, wanna be friends?
Lonnie is Good injury insurance. Also btw, once your book is available on your website will you be able to take international orders and ship abroad?
Lonnie is nice bruh! We got a steal
☘️☘️👊
He will be a rotation player this year lets be honest walker is better than pritchard and svi. i don't think he will take hauser minutes hauser is 6'8 good defender and can shoot lights out. I think Pritchard minutes are in more trouble than anyone else since Celtics can play white or holiday as PG while having walkerand hauser with big al and jt or jb while still having good defense and shooting. And by the way i went to school with Lonnie lol same class and all he's a great dude great for team chemistry.
So how does this e10 works ? Technically e10 is a 1 yr non guaranteed but how the money works?
Brad is my hero
I seen the title and thought finally john might have a show not defending tatum at some point
WELCOME to Boston Lonnie Walker!! Brad is fleecing the ENTIRE LEAGUE😂😂 I'm 🔥🔥🔥🔥up EVEN MORE for 🏆19.LETS GO ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️💪💪
Fast PP, Lonnie Walker, Brown, Tatum, Queta.
Our 9th guy is Lonnie Walker on exhibit 10 contract. Read it a few times.
Wasn't he drafted with the potential to be a smaller version of Kawhi Leonard
Wow Brad's a mastermind
Brad's a genius but this time it's less about Brad being smart and more about other GMs being dumb.
Ripe for expansion, and also, perhaps, an indicator of new CBA implications. Something tells me Brad foresaw, not Walker specifically, but the general situation.
Walker is a legit bucket getter. Pritchard will be riding pine once again 😂
As a Spurs fan I know why he didn't get extension from Spurs, he will be in different jersey next season again. Trust me. Don't be happy Celtics fan.
Not fair to Hauser or Pritchard who deserve more playing time
Ohhhh yeah back to back me please!!! Lonnie a walkin bucket
