Multiple sources around the league are saying the Boston Celtics are a near lock to land Charlotte Hornets perennial All-Star point guard, Kemba Walker. This comes to little surprise after hearing reports that Charlotte offered their all-time leading scorer a five-year deal worth only $160 million.
We knew Kemba was open to taking less than the supermax contract he was eligible for after making the All-NBA team, but $60 million less is frankly, a slap in the face to the player that has been the face of the franchise for some time now.
I’m hearing the two parties are so far off in negotiations that a mutual agreement is highly unlikely.
