kemba walker for rubio?


with all the angst about ricky rubio, would anyone be interested in kemba walker for rubio. with charlotte trying to tweak cap space they might even being willing to add ex jazz player marvin williams. that would result in perhaps trading rubio and johnson for walker and williams. williams gets pricy couple years out, but does provide good spacing. if jazz agreed to take williams, they should try to get a pick as well.

walker is a scorer and decent passer, who doesn't turn the ball over much. he gets to the free throw line. he is 27, and looks to fit well with mitchell. williams is 31 and shooting 45% from 3. next 2 contract years are 14 and 15mm. its a clear overpay for williams, and walker is on a value contract (12mm next yr).

Adrian Wojnarowski ESPN Overloaded with bad contracts and untradable assets, the Charlotte Hornets have made All-Star point guard Kemba Walker available in trade discussions, league sources told ESPN. Charlotte has been encouraging teams to make offers and appear eager to discuss attaching Walker to a larger trade where another team takes on one of the Hornets' several far less desirable contracts, sources said. Walker, 27, who makes $12 million per season through 2018-19, has developed into something rare among Charlotte's cornerstone players: a talent whose production outperforms his pay stub
