General manager Mitch Kupchak on Kemba Walker saying the chance to win more will factor heavily in his free agency decision. By
Charlotte Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak offered two absolutes Friday concerning Kemba Walker’s free-agency: that Walker is a “once-in-a-generation kind of player” and that “we’ll do everything we can to bring him back here.”
Praise might be obligatory, but that “everything we can” phrase sets a bar: The Hornets are all-in on a situation that is only partially within their control. Worse yet, there are few ways within the team’s predicament to make the roster more appealing.
