Kemba Walker is eligible for a Super-Max extension this offseason, for 5 years $221.3 million, from the Charlotte Hornets. Walker is the best player the Hornets have had in their franchise history, with him being the all time leading scorer. Kemba Walker has been the face of the franchise since being drafted in 2011. He is a 3 time All-Star and made it on the 3rd All-NBA team this year.
The Charlotte Hornets should have Kemba Walker as their top priority this offseason. Walker is their best player, and without him they are looking at a complete rebuild. They would get nothing in return for Walker, which would be the biggest blow to their fans. If the Hornets do decide to let Kemba Walker leave Woj has reported that the Lakers, Knicks, and Mavericks would all be interested in Walker.
The Lakers desperately need some Superstar player to come to Los Angeles and play beside LeBron James. Walker would be a great fit to play next to him. He's a versatile scorer, who can pull up and create his own shot or drive in for a layup. Walker could come in and be that secondary scorer the Lakers need. The Knicks are Kemba Walker's hometown team, being from the Bronx it would be a homecoming for Kemba to come to New York. Finally the Mavericks would be a great fit for Kemba to go play. He would pair up with Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis to become their own Big 3. This would be a scary trio in the Western Conference, and Kemba's best chance to make it to the playoffs next year.
Ultimately I believe that Hornets are going to sign Kemba Walker to the Super-Max and not let him walk. Walker has been the best player in Hornets history and quickly making his way to being the most underrated player around the league. Walker is a phenomenal player and should get recognized more, unfortunately being on the Hornets means no real press. Kemba will truly never be fully appreciated for how great he is, until he is retired.
