Doesn’t it seem like the Charlotte Hornets cant hold on to key their star players.

What’s the old phrase?

There’s always three sides to a story.

Your truth.

Their truth.

And the real truth being somewhere in the middle.

Now looking back, The Charlotte Hornets made the best decision for their franchise.

By NOT signing Kemba Walker to a super max!

I believe that this was the best decision for this team to come up from all their terrible contracts they had gave out while Kemba Walker was there.

It’s unfortunate because of poor scouting, drafting and over paying undeserving players. This happened from 2012 – 2019. That’s 7 years of mediocrity at best!

Let’s be real.

Kemba Walker was deeply loved and appreciated by Charlotte Hornets fans. He has been by far been the best player drafted by them in over 15 years. (Emeka Okafor – ’04)

The Hard Truth:

The Charlotte Hornets wouldn’t be much better if they had resign Kemba Walker!

With Kemba Walker:

They never had enough good players to do much. The best year is when they had an old 1 good foot Al Jefferson. They made the playoffs and got swept by the Heat Big 3. Over the last 2 seasons they have been hovering around the 9TH seed – 12TH seed. They would show signs early on in the season but they never could make the playoffs.

Without Kemba Walker:

The team is younger. The Charlotte Hornets are in complete rebuild mode. Not like in the past where they would draft or sign players to surround Kemba Walker to try and make a playoff push. It’s funny because a lot of those players were highly undeveloped.

This year the Charlotte Hornets record is 23-42 which is 10Th seed in the east. This record puts them exactly where they would be if they had Kemba Walker last season!
