With the Russell signing, the Lakers are likely down to minimum signings going forward other than Reaves. They have Bird rights on Malik Beasley and non-bird on Lonnie Walker, but probably not space against the 1st Apron to re-sign them unless their markets are totally stagnant. – 2:19 PM

Lonnie Walker @lonniewalker_4
I remember I was probably about 9/10 years old. We just got evicted so we moved into a friends place for a few days until we figured out our next move. Those hard days I came straight to this court. This place was my sanctuary, my therapy, my true home. Full circle moment 🙏🏾💗 pic.twitter.com/5NfiNriJ4z – 5:32 PM

That could always change based on the Lakers’ track record and how the rest of free agency plays out. But all indications, both publicly and privately, point to the organization planning to re-sign restricted free agents Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura and unrestricted free agent D’Angelo Russell, as The Athletic previously reported. The Lakers are also expected to try to retain unrestricted free agent Dennis Schroeder and Lonnie Walker IV, though they do not have full Bird rights on either. -via The Athletic / June 28, 2023
Jovan Buha: Lonnie’s situation is a bit of a tricky one. First, there’s the Klutch Sports connection, which is always a factor with any Lakers guys… He played really well in the first half of the season. The second half of the season, they started Austin and brought in Malik Beasley. Troy Brown was playing well, and Lonnie fell out of the rotation. IN Game 4 against the Warriors, he potentially saved the Lakers’ season. I think that playoff performance and him re-emerging in the rotation bumps him up into that mini mid-level range again or the bi-annual exception on him. I think he’s in that $4-7 million range. Michael Scotto: The $4-6 million range for Lonnie Walker is interesting. One Western Conference executive said that to me too. -via HoopsHype / June 1, 2023
