"Ham and this front office fumbling": Lonnie Walker telling Lakernation he misses them at Crypto has Lakers fans in shambles

Lonnie Walker IV was in Los Angeles for back-to-back games against the city's two teams this weekend. While he provides solid numbers for the Brooklyn Nets, LA Lakers fans are missing having him on their squad.

Walker had 15 points as the Brooklyn Nets beat the Lakers 130-112 on Friday and eight points as Brooklyn lost to the LA Clippers 125-114 on Sunday.

"(Lakers coach Darvin) Ham and this front office fumbling bad."

"Remember. He‘s not here anymore because ham refused to play him after his injury so his favorite (Malik) Beasley could play."

"Lakers let their best shooter leave." 😂🤦‍♂️

Looking back at Lonnie Walker's time with the Lakers

When Lonnie Walker IV played for the LA Lakers last season, he was one of the fan-favorite players. The reason behind the reception he received was due to his grit and determination as a player to provide solid performances for his team. While Walker was only a role player for the Purple and Gold, there were several games when he stole the show and played as if he was the star of the team.

Throughout his only season as a Laker, Walker averaged 11.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists. Walker was more of a scorer for the Lakers at the time, hence, his numbers outside scoring were low. Nevertheless, he delivered on his task masterfully whenever his number was called.

There were eight games in which Walker scored at least 20 points or more. His best scoring game came in November 2022 when he dropped 28 points against the New Orleans Pelicans to help the Purple and Gold secure a 120-117 victory.

Lonnie Walker IV was a knockdown shooter in the City of Angels, and the Lakers Nation loved his contributions. Seeing Walker sport the Brooklyn Nets jersey this season seems to be a blow to the chest of Los Angeles fans.
