The question isn’t just whether the relationship between Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets ever will be the same.
It’s whether that relationship ever can be the same.
Friday morning, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Hornets general manager Rich Cho has been soliciting offers from other NBA teams for All-Star point guard Walker. Wojnarowski, the best news-breaker in NBA circles, described the Hornets as "eager" to include Walker in a trade that could discard one of the team’s burdensome contracts.
Midday Friday, Walker agreed to a large-group interview following practice. That, in itself, had to be difficult.
