Speaking out loud: $7+ million annually for Jae’Sean Tate and $6+ million for Lonnie Walker both seem like very good value from the team side. Could be a barometer if #Nuggets go that route. I’m sure there’s plenty I don’t know. Again, a gut reaction. – 7:07 PM

Spurs selections of two shot-creating wings in the draft last week put the writing on the wall for Lonnie Walker. On Thursday, the club pulled their qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted FA.

Brian Wright on pulling Lonnie Walker’s offer and parting ways with him:
“I think the way the draft played out kind of changed the trajectory of our roster and made the opportunities a little bit different than maybe they would have been had the draft gone a different way.” – 5:59 PM

Not at all surprised the Spurs pulled the QO for Lonnie Walker.
San Antonio has always been player-friendly in these situations. They were going to tie up Walker as a RFA when they are pivoting in a different direction. They did right by him and opened up a ton of cap space. – 5:24 PM
