After a blockbuster trade on Saturday, the Charlotte Hornets found out that they have a strong competitor when it comes to re-signing Kemba Walker. Rumors now indicate that the Los Angeles Lakers will look to strongly pursue Walker during free agency.
Right after the trade, New York Times’ writer Mark Stein reported that “Kemba Walker will be a top target in free agency.” This report from Stein came from a few league sources.
These rumors surfaced after the Lakers traded away three key players in order to get Anthony Davis.
