Hornets mailbag: Restless fans worry about trade deadline passing quietly, and Kemba

Charlotte Hornets fans sound particularly restless these days.

Between Kemba Walker’s pending free-agency and the Hornets not making a deal at the trade deadline, the questions I got for this week’s mailbag column seemed full of anxiety about the future. For instance:

Q. Do you think the Hornets not making a move at the trade deadline will have any impact on Kemba re-signing?

A. When you say “any” impact, I can’t say definitively no, but I don’t think letting one trade deadline pass quietly is a triggering event for a decision of this consequence.
