Will Kemba Walker be a Charlotte Hornet a year from now?
I think so. I’d be surprised if not. But it’s no lock, and can’t be before he actually reaches unrestricted free agency come July.
The Hornets play the Knicks Sunday, which is their first game this season in New York. I suspect it’s going to get a bit weird. Walker is the best New York City native playing in the NBA right now, the Knicks are bad, and the New York tabloids need something to fill columns.
He’ll be peppered with questions about free agency and whether he’s receptive to moving back to the city where his basketball career began.
