Since the 2018 NBA offseason started, rumors and speculations continue to swirl that Kemba Walker could leave the Charlotte Hornets. Walker and the Hornets have already denied the rumors and expressed mutual interest in extending their partnership, but things are still expected to change if Charlotte suffers another disappointing season. For the Hornets, trading the All-Star point guard means that they are ready to undergo a full-scale rebuild.
To speed up the process, the Hornets may consider trading Kemba Walker for young players and future draft picks. According to Fadeaway World, one of the ideal trade partners for the Hornets in the potential Walker trade is the Boston Celtics. In the proposed trade deal by Fadeaway World, the Hornets will be sending Walker to the Celtics for Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart.
"Walker, playing at all All-Star level, hasn't had any decent help for his teammates. He's also a free agent next summer and should be making $30 million a year at least. He needs more motivation and some direction. This is why the Celtics should trade for him right now. A simple swap for Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart gives the Celtics more firepower to contend with the Warriors, Rockets, Raptors and 76ers and gives Rozier and Smart more room to grow on their own."
