Celtics Sign Lonnie Walker IV: Will He Make the Team?

[@tinobrown1780]

They are not sending him to Maine Bobby. He’s gonna make the team, and get minutes. They needed a wing off the bench who can get his own shot.

[@gaggledweasel2579]

Facts

[@kevj1587]

wtf am I listening to? Walker will 100% be on this team and will find minutes. KP isn’t expected back until Christmas/january, Horford is up in age and will not play back to backs, White, Jrue and Tatum are fresh off the Olympics and will need their minutes limited at least until mid season.

[@truthfrancisco7991]

@@kevj1587 Walker is better than anyone on that bench not named Al Horford. It’s disrespectful

[@nicholaseaster58]

For real. Some embarrassing takes by so called experts. Walker fills a huge need off the bench and we’re hearing he won’t make the team but they’ll carry a scrub like Jordan Walsh on the active roster. Stop that 😂

[@jay-jay8191]

Walker is a small wing he's not going to get in the game to play 4 or 5, he's a sg, sf Celtics has plenty on that spot. Oshea is gone should've probably accepted the player option, Walker could be a potential replacement better scorer but not as high energy than Oshea. I kinda hoped that Celtics signed Yabusele instead to Philly, or Christian Wood only resigned small contract (maybe a minimum) with the Lakers.

[@kevj1587]

@@jay-jay8191 yes he’s a small wing but we have played small before. Tatum is no stranger at the 5 but that was matchup dependent

Do not say anything abt Luke Kornet will take mins from Lonnie. Stop it Bobby. All the rookies are goin G league per usual. The fact we got such a nba talent on a TRAININ CAMP DEAL..shows how genius Brad really is. He's alrdy proven he's nba caliber ready maybe a lil too inconsistent but in the right system, he'll flourish especially the guys he's playin behind. Jrue & long lost teammate in SA , Dwhite. Have faith CLNS. Low cost HIGH REWARD typa of signing be more excited. Bc i know one thing certain one thing for sure , he's too good to be sent to G League and too talented/athletic to be cut. He'll make the rotation and earn his spot. & he's 6'4 so pritchard might not play as much as he did in the reg szn and a lonnie can fill in mins for any of the fab 5 load managing through all 82

[@joeygomez4673]

I love how Bobby’s always wrong but still has the guts to sound so confident on what he’s saying 🤣 walker would definitely play over Payton. Walker is even better then Hauser come on now

[@coolgenuinephil3051]

Bobby dont you watch highlights🤔🤔 This is the steal of the century😉

[@jimmyjay689]

Knicks used FIVE 1st rders to get Mikal... Celtics get Lonnie Walker for free

[@coolgenuinephil3051]

💯🔥

[@tylerriley2587]

Lonnie can hoop and create his own shot

[@jayG21219]

This is genuinely really bad reporting Bobby. Totally underselling who Lonnie Walker is and has been for years now. Try to check ur biases at the door and at least be honest about the guys ur discussing.. anyone who takes what ur saying even remotely seriously would be leaving this video woefully misinformed

[@CelticsCLNS]

We'll see!

[@jayG21219]

@@CelticsCLNS there’s nothing to see. Lonnie has been a productive NBA player for 5 years now and just shot 38% from three on volume. Failing to even mention that once in this entire video makes this bad reporting. Sorry

[@coolgenuinephil3051]

​@@CelticsCLNSLonnie will get more mins than Luke👀

[@Caddyyyy]

​@@CelticsCLNS his per 36 minutes equates to 20 4 and 3 he's a solid addition

[@danielduquette5588]

I think the Cs may play their key players less minutes this season in an attempt to reach the playoffs healthy-ish. Thus the bench could see increased minutes. Though minutes might be limited, I think the chance of a title, and contract that could follow from another team in free agency (like Svi) is motivating to make the team this year.

[@densvert678]

I could tell Bobby was gonna say some BS. Enough of Luke kornet man.

[@nickstah9184]

He’s absolutely making the team he’s better than every bench player we have outside of Horford and Horford ain’t even rly a bench player, he’s technically on the bench but he plays starter minutes. So he’s technically our best bench player

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Another great moves to Brad Stevens

[@JeebyTube]

Will he make the team is crazy lmao

[@stephyfra1243]

Fr like it's Lonnie Walker 😭

[@sixtrumpetwarnings]

I MAYBE WRONG,BUT DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE CELTICS MOVE A FEW PLAYERS AND SIGN WALKER TO A MULTI YEAR CONTRACT.

[@JeebyTube]

I think he goin be around for 4 years too

[@jakefarm390]

Bobby bad takes ova here. you really taking baylor over lonnie walker? i dont see what you could not like here? we literally replaced brisset with a 10 pt per game bench player? smh🤦‍♂️ bobby take the rest of the summer off and get ya zen right my man.

[@dremoore5329]

Cut Luke lol

[@Ghost78763]

He will definitely be on the team

[@therealdarrell282]

Signing LW is a savvy moth by Brad. It is going to difficult for anyone to say they did not like this move when you look at the contract he signed.

[@worldbfree7576]

brad is a savvy moth 💯🤝

[@Dejays_lifestyle]

Your crazy walker better than Pritchard springer

[@josephpalmieri4976]

A fool Lonnie Walker is not gonna play in the G league. The dudes are NBA player. He could start on 6 to 10 NBA teams most likely he would probably be our best bench player besides Al Horford if he made the team he’s better than Pritchard and he’s better than Houser to be honest we need scoring off the bench. There was too many nights that Pritchard and Houser didn’t score anything go look at the box scores are bench scored like four points six points seven points that’s not acceptable even in the playoffs bench scoring hurt us. Our starters had to play tons of minutes and pick up the slack. He’s the perfect fit on the bench to come in at night when guys are out at nights that we need scoring when Houser and Pritchard don’t have it he could give us 15 quick points, no way plays in the G league not a chance

[@stephyfra1243]

Are you fr? It's s Lonnie Walker 😭

[@martinalbert29]

Good injury insurance in case white or Holiday get injured

[@BIGpacL]

He’s arguably best player on bench besides horford lol

[@jimmyjay689]

Lots of guards...but dont see them moving PP...contract too valuable...I can see KP getting traded tho

[@Yette]

For me, it looks like Walker vs Springer for some minimal playing time. Offense vs Defense. Perhaps the competition with Walker helps Springer take a big step forward?

[@mctaguer]

They will see if he naturally FITS with the team. If he does, he has some skills they'll find useful. I mean, Oshae got 600 minutes last year. But, if he struggles to fit in camp, then so be it, and no harm done.

[@jeffhollow6145]

Damn, the add was longer than the report. Just put a banner if you’re gonna bury it like that

[@jzzft11]

R u kidding. He'll be competing w Pritchard and Hauser for minutes and depending on injuries and match ups he could easily end up top of those three. Slightly different skill set for all three if them, but Walker is a proven player he's gonna be a rotation player nmw. I see him as # 8 player on team at worst

[@okadachef4287]

A lock to make the roster, they need another wing.

[@MikeWiggin]

He gonna be on the team what r u talking about

[@jcity943]

😂😂😂will he make the team??!! Better than anyone on our bench no question

[@n-ciddy1678]

Logic tells you he'll easily Make it. Duh, people.

Walker can play If he was white would have long term deal

[@richardshansky3040]

Seems like a trade is coming

[@ByrdBrain96]

I just don’t see who we’d trade that has value.. the only pieces we’d be willing to trade are rooks/g league players at the end of the bench.

[@dovsdont1706]

A trade makes 0 sense. You’ve got everybody you need. These guys are proven CHAMPIONS, they need rest for their stars. We can use Lonny walker eating minutes on the wing and even as a 3rd/4th ball handler. These are the things we need to shore up. Great flyer signing.

[@jayG21219]

Pritchard is gonna get moved most likely

[@jimmyjay689]

[@jayG21219]

@@jimmyjay689 sneaky making around 7 million this season. Definitely the most tradeable contract

[@AnzwarTheGreat]

Lonny Walker has a better all around game than Hauser... AND I LOVE HAUSER! It gives Jaylen & Jayson a true rest without us running Jrue and DWhite all game with the second unit. Walker is better than Jaden Springer, and Jordan Walsh... Walker will get minutes.

[@nicholaseaster58]

Shoot Walsh to the moon 😂
