Hornets guard Kemba Walker is happy in Charlotte and has no desire to join a “super team,” according to an Associated Press report.
Walker made the comments today at the team’s media day, offering some insight into his plans for next summer. He will be part of a stellar free agent class in 2019 and is in position to earn a huge raise from the $12MM he will make this season.
“You see guys who are on elite teams,” Walker said. “I don’t want to do that. I want to create something special here in Charlotte, something that we have never had here before. I want to create some consistency. And I want to be a part of that.”
Walker has spent his entire seven-year NBA career in Charlotte after being taken with the ninth pick in the 2011 draft. The leading scorer in franchise history, Walker expressed confidence that the Hornets will make a strong effort to re-sign him, saying, “I just have that feeling.”
Charlotte needs to trade for Jimmy Butler! Maybe a package centered around Kemba Walker for Butler and Luol Deng could do it.
I think they have to wait like until December to trade Deng. If Jimmy wants out bad enough and his value lowers the Hornets could do Lamb, MKG, Kaminsky, 1st, 2nd for Jimmy and Dieng
That’s a bag of balls kind of trade. None of those pieces are enticing LT. Really would have to include Bridges. Bridges, Lamb, and Williams would be a start.
Just trade for michelle jordan out of retiremend??????
Michael. Retirement.
Butler to Charlotte for Biyombo and Frank Kaminsky (and a bag of doritos). Works in trade machine, but by now I should not have to tell you all that the machines are plotting our destruction and only time travel can fix that or the Hornets.
