Kemba Walker hails from The Bronx and is a three-time All-Star. He makes sense for the needy Knicks, but how much sense/cents?
He’s a complicated target, a player who could be eligible for a super-max contract slot if he makes one of three all-NBA teams, but is he worthy of such a contract having never won a playoff series in his eight years in the league?
He’s even more complicated for his own team, the Hornets, who could pay him up to a five-year deal worth $221 million. That would be the supermax if he makes an All-NBA team, which he’s in play for after a 25.
