UPDATE ON CONTRACT PER SHAMS: Contract details for Lonnie Walker IV with the Celtics, sources said: Exhibit 10. An E10 allows Celtics to give a bonus to Walker if he is waived after training camp and plays for the team's G League affiliate in Maine.
Walker is good for the C's at this roster spot. He has a lot upside for a 15th player
NBA will have a bigger problem, especially Kerr 😂
is it me or does homie look like he did some powdered donuts
This is an overrated signing. Lonnie is a 1-skill guy whose great skill (3-level scorer) is the one thing the Cs dont need. He wont get to handle the ball in the Cs offense as he'll be at least be behind 5 players in Cs playmaking depth chart (jt, jb, jrue, white, pp). The only thing he brings that translates is the good 3pt shooting. He doesnt rebound, pass well, set screens or play defense. The Cs need more of these skills from role players (along with high 3pt efficiency). They dont need another shot creator. Much moreso a guard which is their deepest position. They need 3ND wings.
Hes arguably this teams 12th man at best (assuming Joe prefers his offense to springer's defense). And when fully healthy, no team really plays more than 9-10 men a night in the regular season.
Cs rotation:
starters 1-5: jt, jb, kp, jrue, d.white
core bench 6-9: al, hauser, pp, tillman
regular rotation mins stop here.
situational bench 10-12: luke (with kp out to start the season), queta (for the time Al sits on the 2nd night of a B2B), lonnie/jaden (if they decide to give jrue the al treatment)
maine 13-18: jaden, anton, baylor, walsh, jd, drew
camp cuts 19-20: harper jr. Enaruna
The positive here is lonnie will push jaden and baylor in camp. Lonnie though wont get mins outside of garbage time/injuries. He's not overtaking PP.
Is this a training camp deal or a real 1yr deal
What a steal!
Hell yeah
Bruce 👊. A second unit with PP, Sam and Walker giving 25-30ppg a night?? That would be crazy. Great move by Brad, hope he makes the roster.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING A FULL SCREEN OF THE TINY TEXT, SO WE CAN READ IT ON OUR PHONES. 👍👍👍 but then you didnt haha oh well
What a great move!!! This man can really ball!!! Celtics ARE STACKED!!! I see another championship coming this year. ☘️☘️☘️
E10 deal. He will have a chance to make the 15th spot on the roster.
😏Is it a full 1 year deal or an Exzibit 10 game none guaranteed contract 🤷🏽♂️❓
How do we keep on doing it?😂
They are gonna run opposing teams into the ground.
Are the Celtics up for sale? Who gonna buy them?
A young guy on the rise! The talent is there just like Derek White you cultivate it and look what happens😊
He's a fun guy to have on your team if you aren't trying to win anything, I know as a Spurs fan. What is mind boggling is he is built to play good defense physically, he just . . . doesn't. He ends up watching the game from the court than participating. Lonnie can win games or lose games at any point with his D and O. The problem is you never know which one it will be. He'll your 4th or 5th worst defender on the court
Love this signing.. absolute steal
I feel like this is just like when we signed Josh Richardson, I don’t want to be overly excited but good pick up none the less
This is an exhibit 10 acquisition (below a minimum $ deal ). They just throw little $ for him to come to practice. There must be something else or an issue why no team gave him a minimum contract!
