After Coach Darvin Ham made the season of Lonnie Walker to become a rollercoaster as the SG started the season being an undisputed starter for most of the season, only to lose his role to Malik Beasley and then become a bench warmer when Austin Reaves stole the starting position to Beasley.

Only for Lonnie Walker to get back on a coming-off-the-bench role after saving the Lakers in Game 4 of the second-round series vs. the Golden State Warriors, proving his worth and hunger to stand out.

The fans want Walker to stay in LA, and it seems the organization does too, but the SG has been reported to want a more prominent role and is thinking of changing the team to get that.

But the Lakers are willing to offer 8.5 million per year, more than anyone else will offer, and the official Twitter account from the Los Angeles Lakers is trying to make him stay by posting some great posters of him that earned him the Skywalker nickname.

Magic Johnson is also trying to convince Walker IV to stay a Lakers

The Lakers are at full speed trying to get Lonnie Walker IV for another season, and not only posting posters about "Skywalker," but even the purple and gold legend Magic Johnson was with Lonnie at the Dodgers game trying to convince him to stay in LA.
