Charlotte Hornets Trade Rumours: 3 things to expect before the trade deadline

#1 Kemba Walker stays in North Carolina

Charlotte Hornets v Indiana Pacers

Kemba Walker has been a member of the Hornets roster ever since the team drafted him back in 2012. In his time in North Carolina, Walker has slowly developed into an NBA All-Star, and the 28-year-old is now among the best guards in the entire league.

Nevertheless, Walker will become a free agent in the summer, and some NBA analysts have tipped the point guard to leave the Hornets due to the franchise's inability to compete. Despite this, Walker has continually stated his love for the Hornets throughout the season, and the 3-time All-Star has also spoken about the possibility that he could see out his career in Charlotte.

Teams such as the Lakers will be interested in acquiring Walker during the final few days of the trade window, however, there is still a good chance that Walker will re-sign with the team in the summer, and the Hornets should rebuke any trade offers that come their way.
