I'd go with Lonnie Walker IV
I been saying this to my brother, the Celtics will move Springer to keep Lonnie and no it does not need to stop it needs to happen!
Lonnie Walker was on fire we definitely need to keep him! He was doing some incredible things! I also like Anton Watson! 😀🙏⚖️🔥
Lonnie Walker is even better than I remembered! We definitely need to offer him a full contract! And Anton Watson as well! 😀
Ya keep lonnie idc what it takes
You gotta stop acting like he’s an X 10 player, dude is way better than springer and should be on the roster.
Pay the fees to keep Lonnie. They got lots of debt from this team however these back to backs gonna pay off as a great investment
Thanks for the explanation though sounds better to wait patience young grass hoppers patience
DONT TELL ME TO CHILL!
Why did the celtics bring Lonnie Walker inIf they had no intentions on signing him? It seems like a waste of time money and resources. Why give preseason min to a guy you can't afford?
Ayo BAN Springer from the team
They will be crazy to let another team get him.
Everyone is excited for Lonnie.
Love his hustle and athleticism. That will be great for the season run
Let springer go to Maine then
So heres the real question. Why bring him on if they werent gonna have enough for him? Just so get a look at him play?? I think hes gonna get it.
People sre more excited for Walker than q Springer my guy. Just night and day as far as game
They don’t play springer , not sure how much he is on their plans
The entire bench and first round draft picks (3) for Bronnie James…he's about to bust out of mediocrity….so sez my sources. Send him to Maine. Lebron follows. Buys beach house on Popham Beach. Buys Spinneys. Buys Reid State Park.
I don't get this Springer luv. I want a Dynasty, I want as many NBA ready players as possible NOW. Springer hasn't looked good at all in preseason and hasn't sniffed much playing time, he was literally benched last game. I understand why fans would rather have Walker. I'm not worried about Springers playing time in 2027 when he won't even be here next season after his contract and 4mil cap hit expires. Dude makes more than most all the bench players
Springer defense is crazy doe!!!!!
I say keep walker and Walsh especially Walsh he reminds me of Derrick white and Tatum in his game and can be a 2 way player off the bench easy
Springer looks rough.. getting rid of springer makes Lonnie available… sorry but springer looks flat out bad. I was a springer believer but he’s not looking good. They aren’t going to go with 15 spots and Lonnie will leave if he goes to g league. It might not happen but it seems like most Celtic are in agreement and springer can’t fill a role at all right now and I doubt he will in the future… if u can upgrade your tenth man and save money why wouldn’t you? U can always extend walker for cheap and make him a part of our future. Idk it’s rough to believe that they are dead set on springer when joe can’t stand his play half the time…
So Lonnie at 2mil is 10mil so what are we paying springer who isn’t ready at all? The only way to keep him is to trade someone else for a pick
All that sounds nice but as soon as he gets a call from another team, he’s leaving the g league system. I don’t know why people think he’s gonna stay with the Celtics g league team. He’d leave at first call…from another team
I must admit there is more to Lonnie Walker that we should not give up on if there is any way possible keep them both but my pick is on keeping Lonnie Walker on the roster
Springer is already on the roster. Lonnie Walker will definitely take the 15th spot. It's a matter of when or play for Maine for a while to get a little more money aside from the veteran minimum he will get when he is elevated to the regular roster. If Springer will agree to a team friendly deal next season like Pritchard's contract, Cs can keep him moving forward. In Walker's case, should he decide to stay with the Cs for the next three years like Luke Kornet, Cs can pay him eventually as that will align with Jrue Holiday's retirement or end of contract and by then the Cs will have his Bird rights.
If Looney is really good enough. Many teams will definitely give him a guaranteed contract, not just a training camp contract. Too many people treat him as a treasure, which is a very dangerous thing.
Lonnie Walker IV 💯
Sorry bruce. This wont stop. 100% disagree. This isnt really just about lonnie vs. Springer:
1. the rotation fight is done. Walsh won for now. Neither are playing.
2. Brad isnt going to fill that 15th spot. If lonnies coming in, someone will move out. Thats springer.
3. Why springer? Hes a vet min guy being paid double. Lonnie would be paid vet min. Swapping them out isnt about performance (though lonnie justifies it too). Its about money. Cutting springer and signing lonnie leads to 11+M in tax savings.
4. springer sucks. Simple as that. With walsh, baylor, anton, drew, etc. theres no need to develop him. Develop the others. Lonnie on the other hand is already developed and is a great break glass in case of emergency kind of guy.
5. Joe wasnt high on him recently. Springer showed insubordination as Karalis observerd. Joe screamed for him to take a charge and he refused to. After committing a boneheaded TOV, Joe benched him and he hasnt played since. DNPs.
Springers days on the celtics are numbered. They either dump him this season or let him go in the offseason. Why? Celtics have 2 picks coming next season. Assuming JD is gone, the 2nd rd pick takes that 2W spot. The 1st RD pick will have to take a roster spot. We know brad doesnt want to go past 14. If luke re-signs, someone has to go because everybody else is under contract. Thats springer. Hes an expiring.
