The Cleveland Cavaliers were reportedly set to trade the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for point guard Kemba Walker if LeBron James planned to re-sign with them rather than leave to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Tuesday, Zach Lowe of ESPN.com reported the potential blockbuster and predicted Walker will ultimately sign a new contract with the Hornets since he "might not carry as much trade value as Charlotte hopes" with a limited number of potential suitors.
