The Boston Celtics have emerged as the front-runners to sign Charlotte
Hornets point guard Kemba Walker in free agency, league sources tell ESPN.
Walker's eight-year career with the Hornets appears to be coming to close,
with owner Michael Jordan no longer determined to extend far enough
financially to re-sign his franchise player, league sources tell ESPN.
Walker, a three-time All-Star, is expected to be offered a four-year, $141
million contract from the Celtics when free agency opens Sunday at 6 p.m. ET
