Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker was named to the All NBA Third Team on Thursday. The honor earns Walker more than just bragging rights. It significantly alters the course of his offseason and in turn, the Charlotte Hornets offseason as well.
Prior to this announcement, Walker was eligible for three different maximum contract values this offseason, depending on who he signed with and whether or not he made All NBA.
- If he were to sign anywhere but Charlotte, Walker’s maximum deal would be 4 years, $141 million- a starting salary at 30% of the cap plus 5% raises each year.
