Kemba Walker has enjoyed yet another All-Star season with the Charlotte Hornets, but again it comes with an early ticket home, failing to make the postseason.

Despite having one of the best-paid starting five, Buzz City is once again out of the playoff race — a feeling Walker has grown familiar with.

“At this point, I want to win. I want to be in the playoffs,” Walker told Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer on Monday morning. “I’m tired of not being in the playoffs. … I hate watching them on TV.”

“I’ve been there twice in seven years, and it’s just not fun (missing out).”

Walker’s contract is a honeypot of a deal, a four-year, $48 million compensation, which is set to expire after next season, becoming an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NBA career.

The Bronx native is just starting to reach his prime, one that has included back-to-back All-Star appearances in the last couple of seasons. He re-established his desire to stay in Charlotte but warned he'd need to see a change of direction to entice his wish.

“Hopefully, I’ll be here for a long time,” said Walker. “I’ve always felt like I’m a winning player. Like I deserved it to be in the playoffs – to be battling. That’s what it will be all about in the future.”

The Hornets ended Rich Cho's stint at the front office and are reportedly looking for a candidate to pair up with Buzz Peterson to take part in this team's revamped front office.

“Whenever we get a new GM, we’ll see what direction he wants to go,” Walker said, “and I’ll make the best decision for me.”
