If his $7.77M is what keeps us from being able to use something like the full MLE, then no. If we’re running it back, then yes because him at $7.77M is still good value, but also great salary filler along with someone like D’Lo at the deadline.

I wouldn’t be mad about it. I think he’ll get paid more than the Lakers could offer though.

As great as he was for us in that one 4th quarter I’d say no. With us losing DS and maybe TBJ I’d look to add some good defensive player coming off a down year or looking for a slight raise off a minimum. Someone like jevon carter who can hit an open shot and play D

If we can afford it, we definitely should.

I like Lonnie walker a lot. But how many people on here were clamoring for him to be brought back before his big game in the playoffs?

Yes for 8 m

He won’t return since he wants a bigger role while Ham has him at 20 mins a game around 65% of the season.

Lonnington Walker, Esq. should be brought back if we can afford him.

I like Lonnie but no. This team needs to get bigger and better on defense on the perimeter especially. That isn’t him.

No

Yes. I have spoken.

No doubt but money wise he’s gone..
incredibleamadeuscho
Yes. He demonstrated growth, and the ability to play off the ball. He could be our microwave scorer of the bench.

Depends who they draft. Draft lively or Murray, then yes. Draft someone like Hawkins or Bufkin, no.
I would like to see him return, but I don’t think it will happen.
