5 teams that should target Kemba Walker this summer

5 teams that should target Kemba Walker this summer: New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans have CJ McCollum and Devonte’ Graham as the main focal points of their backcourt, but adding another seasoned veteran could do them well.

They have made it clear that they want to compete for championships, and having a guy like Kemba Walker on the roster could help them do just that.

Again, it’s crucial that Walker wouldn’t have to take on a huge offensive burden wherever he lands. And luckily, the Pelicans have enough other offensive weapons to make that possible.

There’s a chance that they don’t want to spend a ton of money on a backup point guard, but if they truly want to focus on making the postseason, Walker could help in limited minutes.

5 teams that should target Kemba Walker this summer: Minnesota Timberwolves

Just like the Pelicans, the Minnesota Timberwolves are a young team looking to make that next jump and be a consistent postseason threat every season.

They added Patrick Beverley this past offseason to give them that edge, so adding more quality pieces should be their next plan of attack, and Walker falls under that category.

Minnesota doesn’t have a ton of depth on their roster, so getting a veteran like Walker would certainly help. He would slot in nicely behind D’Angelo Russell and Beverley.

The 31-year-old might prefer to get traded to a title contender, but the T-Wolves could be a nice spot for him. He’d be able to help usher in a new era of Minnesota basketball alongside the rest of their current cast.
