Hornets questions: Would Kemba opt for a shorter contract? Trade pick for a veteran?

Any chance Kemba Walker signing elsewhere wouldn’t end his Hornets career once-and-for all? Could he boomerang back to Charlotte in a couple of years?

That was one of your questions for this week’s Hornets mailbag.

Q. Is it possible Kemba signs elsewhere for two years to have a chance to win a ring, then comes back to the Hornets? Sort of like what LeBron James did, going back to the Cleveland Cavaliers?

A. For all the different ways Walker’s free-agency could play out, him signing for less than the most guaranteed years allowed under NBA rules would really surprise me.
