This topic has already been discussed to death so I'll be brief - Springer and Scheierman have guaranteed contracts so they weren't going to get cut - especially not by a 2nd apron team.

Still, even with Springer and Scheierman we had an open roster spot that could have gone to Walker but the team chose to cut him instead..which simply means they're like the other 29 teams who all decided against signing Walker..


Understood, my issue is that Springer and Scheierman got guaranteed contracts in the first place. My educated guess is that neither of those guys will ever be better in the future than Lonnie Walker is right now.

I have to think that Walker will be back in the NBA at some point this season. He's too good of a player to be out of the league.

That's why NBA teams have until February to buyout Walker's Euro contract.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Peeked in to see if he'd played another game. Caught this with highlights (lowlights) of the 1st game....

I mean Pritchard was 1 for 10 the first game of the year. Really not that big of a deal.

Lonnie Walker IV had a strong debut today in the Lithuanian Basketball League

19 points on 4-6 from three, 1 assist, 1 block

Following a scoreless debut in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Lonnie Walker IV bounced back with a game-high 19 points. In his first appearance in Lithuania’s Betsafe LKL, the former NBA player dropped 7/11 from the field, including four triples. Lasting nearly 20 minutes, he added one rebound, one assist, and one block.

One aspect of the game that Lonnie brings is the abilty to drive to the basket.

That's something Sam Hauser can't do.

Time will tell if the Cs bring back Lonnie.

I mean Pritchard was 1 for 10 the first game of the year. Really not that big of a deal.

When Pritchard did that it was vs an NBA team, not a European team..big difference.

Payton Pritchard was also a valuable rotation piece on a team that just won an NBA championship and has a 4 year contract extension. Walker is out of the NBA.

Pritchard plays defense, Pritchard can rebound, Pritchard can pass..Walker does none of those things.

Apples and oranges..

Agree with your point though about 1 game (good or bad) being not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things..

That would be a crazy story if the C's told Lonnie that if he wasn't picked up by an NBA team that they'd be the first call he got around that Feb 18th buyout clause if they could shave some salary.
