5 teams that should target Kemba Walker this summer: Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks don’t have a ton of guard depth on their roster right now, and even though George Hill is injured, he’s been struggling this year.

Adding Kemba Walker as a backup point guard could end up being solid for the current defending champs this offseason. He’d be a tad bit expensive for their taste, but he’d also play his role well.

Walker could give the Bucks a slight scoring boost off the bench alongside guys such as Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis. The veteran would be able to give them quality minutes.

His role on the Bucks would be a lot smaller than it was on the Knicks, as is the case with most of the teams mentioned here. That’s why he’d be able to thrive.

5 teams that should target Kemba Walker this summer: LA Clippers

The LA Clippers have been looking for a point guard to pair alongside Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for a while now, and although Walker probably shouldn’t be starting, he could still give them good minutes.

From here on out in his career, Walker needs to be in a position where he doesn’t have to be a focal point of the offense. That would be the case with the Clippers.

Walker could come off the bench, or start if needed, and provide a nice scoring spark, some floor-spacing, as well as some secondary playmaking.

With the roster reconstruction the Clippers have been going through over the past few years, adding a veteran and former All-Star like Walker would be solid.
