The Charlotte Hornets have made their talisman All-Star point guard Kemba Walker available in trade discussions, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Charlotte has encouraged teams to make offers and would realistically consider involving Walker in a larger trade where another team takes on one of the team's less desirable contracts, according to Wojnarowski's sources.

The Hornets had made available their entire starting lineup, including forward Nicolas Batum (four years, $100 million), recent offseason acquisition center Dwight Howard (two years, $47 million), former UNC standout Marvin Williams (three years, $42 million) and often-injured wing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (three years, $39 million), according to sources.

All of those players and their contracts have been viewed as massively unattractive in the marketplace, and Walker would be the honey pot for any team willing to take their contracts off Charlotte's year-end bill.

The 27-year-old point man will make $12 million per season through 2018-19, but has developed into a bargain talent, where his skill and production level have far outdone his pay.

Walker is not only the Hornets' best player, but also the most popular one in the franchise — one that if traded away, could certainly be considered a massive shift in direction for the team.

A former ninth overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Walker earned his first All-Star selection in 2017, and is now averaging 21.7 points on 42 percent shooting, 5.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game, though his shooting percentages have reverted to his non-All-Star days.

Trading the 6-foot-1 dynamo away could signify a blow-up of this current team and a Chicago-Bulls-like press of the reset button in hopes to rebuild from the ground up.

The Hornets are 18-25 in the season and sit 11th in the Eastern Conference race, three spots out of playoff contention.
