Kemba willing to take less than supermax to stay with Charlotte. He is not going anywhere.
The 29-year-old Walker said he?s eager to hear what other teams have to offer.
?That all factors in (to my decision) when I sit down with the teams and hear what guys have to say,? Walker said. ?I think that will all come into play. I?m not really sure right now. Like I said Charlotte is my first priority and I have to see what (the Hornets) have to offer, as well as other teams.?
There has been plenty of speculation about where Walker might end up, including with the Knicks because he grew up in the Bronx.
But Walker has repeatedly said he loves playing and living in Charlotte.
?I have been here for eight years, and it?s the team that drafted me,? Walker said. ?So yeah it is my first priority. I don?t know if I will sign back with them, but they are my first priority.?
Walker said he doesn?t have a timetable for signing a contract but added he wouldn?t mind getting it done as soon as possible.
Asked if he was confident he?d re-sign with Charlotte, Walker shrugged his shoulders and said, ?I have no clue.
?I don?t know,? Walker added. ?This is where I want to be and if it doesn?t work out, it just doesn?t. I?m prepared.?
