If Kemba makes an All-NBA team, something he has not done yet in his career, he will be eligible for the super-max of 5-years, $221M. If he doesn’t, the Hornets could offer him 5-years, $190M. The most Walker could get from another team is 4-years, $141 million.

 

Walker will be 29 in May, and this could be his last chance at a big contract, unless he opts for a shorter deal. If I'm the Hornets, I'm not sure I could offer him the full 5-year max, even if he doesn't qualify for the super-max. However, I could see the Hornets offering him less than the max, but more than another team can offer. 

Potential Teams: Celtics, Hornets, Mavericks, Knicks, Pacers

Predicted Contract: 4-year, $141 million, with Celtics

*Actual Contract: 4-year, $141 million (player option and 15% trade bonus), with Celtics.

Full four-year max for Kemba, which was expected if he were to leave Charlotte.
