Why is Luke Walton still in the NBA?

[stillwaterla]

Just came across this hilarious website... http://www.whyislukewaltonstillinthenba.com
But seriously, how has this guy managed to stay in the league this long???

i seriously wanna know whats the point of him being on the Lakers. i never see this guy play

 

[Peep Game]

I've been asking this question for a long time to Laker fans. When they were in that watered down phase after
Shaq left, they were able to make a case for other scrubs like Farmar, Vuijiciac, Radmonivic, and even DJ Mbenga,
but never Walton

. Dude serves absolutely no purpose. I mean, if you got rid of garbage Smush Parker, who
had BETTER stats than Walton in his time there, way would you keep Walton??? He is USELESS.

When he was healthy, he could do some things on the court. He owes his contract to Phil and the triangle offense.

He wears Kobes though, he must be good in Kobe's eyes for him to let him rock his shoes.

Gotta keep as many white guys on the roster as possible. I wonder if there has been a study done on the racial make-up of 12th-15th players compared to 1-11.

And when he does play you can tell he isn't the same and is struggling badly.

that's what I used to say about Gallo and D'antoni.

Now you must forgive me if my comprehension of American basketball is limited, but in Ukraine averaging more points, contributing more wins personally, and having a better shooting percentage will ensure you a higher salary, a wife with all limbs, and a house furthest from nuclear fallout.  I have none of these things. --Stanislav Medvedenko

that's so terrible
