Spurs draws Lonnie Walker IV qualifying offer and makes him a free agent

San Antonio Spurs is reportedly pulling a qualifying offer for Lonnie Walker IV, with the young wing as a free agent, according to athletic Shamscharania.

The Spurs submitted a qualifying offer to Walker just one day ago. This would have made him a restricted free agent and gave San Antonio the option to match the offer submitted to him. Historically, the Spurs have followed this route for players who did not intend to re-sign, giving the team more control over the situation.

The decision to change the course of the qualifying offer came after Dejounte Murray, an all-star guard who was ready to be part of the team’s long-term future, traded to the Atlanta Hawks with San Antonio’s intentions. It was done. After years of watering in the post-Kawhi Leonard era, we accept a complete reconstruction.

A downhill game suitable for getting into paint and creating attacks, Walker is expected to be a free agent and have several suitors.

In 70 games last season, Walker averaged 12.1 points in 40.7% of the shots from the floor. This includes 31.4% from long distances.
