Trade Kemba Walker? Don’t be ridiculous, Charlotte Hornets

Just when you were sure the Carolina Panthers had taken the permanent hometown lead for most dysfunctional front office, here come the Charlotte Hornets with a late and ludicrous charge.

The Hornets are doing something ridiculous – shopping their best and most dazzling player in Kemba Walker ahead of the Feb. 8 NBA trade deadline.

According to an ESPN report, the Hornets are “encouraging teams to make offers” on Walker with the idea of also unloading one of their bad contracts in a proposed deal and getting a first-round draft pick or promising young player in return.
