Charlotte Hornets star Kemba Walker says he’s made peace with his name showing up in trade rumors.
Still, the NBA’s trade deadline – 3 p.m. EST Thursday – will come as a relief to Walker and his teammates.
“I think people underestimate sometimes how hard it is to focus at a time like that. Just imagine you getting a call that they’re going to ship you to Portland tomorrow, that you’re have to uproot everything,” said veteran Hornets forward Marvin Williams.
“It’s a little different, and it can be difficult at times.”
