refused to join the CBA, and then joined the European League, and the former Lakers Titans made a heartfelt message to Chinese fans

Many NBA players did not get new contracts immediately after their contracts expired this summer, and many players faced a situation where they could not play with the ball. There are a lot of young players who will choose to play in overseas leagues. Trying to get a chance to return to the NBA by performing in overseas leagues. Of course, there are also many players who choose to join an overseas league and get a bigger contract.

At the start of the new season, the Celtics announced that they had cut Lonnie Walker. Lonnie Walker is also facing a situation where he has no ball to play. Lonnie Walker played for the Nets last season, and although he averaged a good amount of playing time per game, he did not get a contract extension in the offseason. The Celtics offered him a 10-day contract before the season, but cut him at the start of the new season.

So the 25-year-old Lonnie Walker was forced to choose to play in overseas leagues. And some teams in the CBA have been in contact with Lonnie Walker. Recently, Lonnie Walker also talked about the CBA when he talked about his journey to play in overseas leagues. He admitted that he does not want to join the CBA at this stage, and does not want to take this path for the time being, although the contract they give is bigger. Obviously, his words are a bit heart-wrenching to Chinese fans. Lonnie Walker chose to join the Lithuanian league after rejecting the CBA, and his overall performance in the Lithuanian league is still very good. He averaged 16.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.

You know, Lonnie Walker will get a bigger contract when he joins the CBA, but why is Lonnie Walker reluctant to join the CBA? Apparently he doesn't think it's going to work out in the CBA. And it's clear that Lonnie Walker has been looking for an opportunity to return to the NBA. Lonnie Walker seems to be hoping that he can play well in a European league and move some of the NBA's management to give him a chance to return to the NBA. In Lonnie Walker's view, it may not be possible for the CBA to provide this kind of soil.

In fact, Lonnie Walker is a very good offensive player, he used to play for the Lakers and was a teammate of James. His overall performance with the Lakers was still very good, and he also played the role of a surprise soldier in key games. Lonnie Walker averaged 11.7 points per game during his season with the Lakers and was an excellent attacker. It's just that Lonnie Walker's passing ability is poor, including his defensive ability. This is the reason why many NBA teams are reluctant to give him a contract. Maybe Lonnie Walker also wants to improve his passing ability when he joins the Euroleague, after all, the Euroleague is very particular about the transfer of the ball.

For Lonnie Walker, his primary goal is to return to the NBA as much as possible, as he is only 25 years old and in the prime of his career. Therefore, joining the Euroleague can maintain his personal form on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may also attract the attention of many teams in the NBA. This may be the main reason why he rejected the CBA team, I wonder what the fans think?
