I'm surprised that the Pels passed on these two.

$9.3 M for two years for DiVincenzo, and Lonnie Walker for $6.5M for one year. Either one of these players is an upgrade for the Pels. I know Griffin and Langdon know way more than me, but these two players would fit very well with the Pels.

Lonnie Walker is a big overpay.

Also, roster spots and up against the the tax.

The Pels have no roster spots and are pretty close to the tax line. Plus it sounds like we've been trying to get in the mix on the KD sweepstakes.

That's what I don't know. Can a team sign a player with no space on the roster at that time, but will create spot in the near future? By the way, have you seen Lonnie Walker play live? He's explosive and not afraid to shoot. Maybe, Kira is the player we are hoping for.

CJ, Alvarado, Dyson, Herb are going to consume nearly al the guard minutes and Walker doesn’t play over any of them. You still do have Graham and Kira on the roster and sets where BI and Zion are functionally running point. I don’t see where Walker has minutes on this team.

Please explain whose minutes Lonnie Walker is taking from the 22-23 Pels

Our current guard/wing depth:

CJ
Jose
Herb
Trey
BI
Dyson

Then Naji, Kira, Graham waiting in the wings

he is one of the very worst players in the league at the two things we need the most- defense and 3pt shooting

Donte is legitimately bad. Walker is inconsistent and not a great fit.

Donte is not bad at all. However, even if we had a roster spot, the defending champions are a bigger draw.
