Kemba Walker is a natural trade target for teams in need of a point guard. He’s slated for free agency this summer, and the Charlotte Hornets are not contenders.

Kemba Walker is in the final year of a four-year, $48 million contract with the Hornets and his play thus far in the 2018-19 season is showing why he is one of the most under paid players in the NBA. Walker is averaging 35.3 points through his first three games and has made an NBA [...]

Kemba Walker was born and attended high school in New York. He’s a free agent this summer. Both the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets will have cap space. You do the math.

Count the New York Knicks as a player in the Kemba Walker sweepstakes should Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan move off his asking price of a returning All-Star talent.

The Detroit Pistons came out hot to start the season, winning 14 of their first 20 games and looking like a top tier team in the eastern conference. Things have gone south over the past month and a half as the Pistons are now 22-20 and clinging to a playoff spot. There have been rumors [...]
