The Celtics will soon have to make a decision on Walker's contract.

Many fans on social media urged the team to keep the former Miami star.

@Chrundl: "C’s have to sign Lonnie Walker to a guaranteed deal. Not because he’s needed or there’s consistent minutes for him. It’s because he’s not going to Maine, he’s going to go to a team that could actually use him. This is a “Bucks let Celtics get Jrue” situation but much lower stakes"
