The Charlotte Hornets won't be losing all star point guard Kemba Walker for nothing. Former Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier will come back to Charlotte via a sign-and-trade.
Free agent guard Terry Rozier plans to agree to a three-year, $58M contract with the Charlotte Hornets via sign-and-trade, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Upon his arrival in Charlotte, Rozier will sign a three year, $58 million fully guaranteed deal with the Hornets.
It a pretty hefty contract, and Rozier is obviously a significant downgrade from Kemba Walker, but at least the Hornets will get something in return for losing their franchise player.
