The Brooklyn Nets have already made most of the moves that they’re going to make in free-agency this summer as they seek to evaluate their young players this upcoming season. There is still one player that played for Brooklyn last season that’s still a free-agent and he’s regarded as one of the best that remain.
Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV is still a free-agent as of this writing and at the moment, there doesn’t seem to be any indication of where he will be playing for the 2024-25 campaign. Granted, training camp for the NBA will most likely begin in late September so Walker still has plenty of time before making his next decision.
In a recent article by Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, Walker was regarded as one of the five best free-agents remaining, but he suggested that Walker’s best landing spot is not with the Nets. Swartz suggested that the best spot for Walker is with the Denver Nuggets as he can bring some much-needed three-point shooting to a team that will be missing some outside shooting with the loss of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Walker played well for the Nets last season, but his role changed amidst injuries and a coaching change for a Brooklyn team that disappointingly missed the postseason entirely. If Walker is looking to bet on himself so that he could have a bigger payday next offseason, the Nuggets could be another team for him to consider as he weighs his options this summer.
